Kyla SmithManaging Director (Calgary) - 2020

Shannon at Ultimate Recruitment got me a job in a pandemic - that should tell you all you need to know about her. Shannon has a great work ethic and a great intuition for who will fit well at each firm. She helped me land my dream job. If anything changes, I know I'm going back to her at Ultimate to find my next job. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Janis BaragarOgilvie LLP- Edmonton 2020

From the first time I was contacted by Ultimate Recruitment I could tell it was a great company. Shannon thoroughly explained the process and what was expected from me. She was honest and up front about what she thought would and wouldn’t work and in the end I landed a great job! The whole process was way faster than I expected, so I just knew that Ultimate was a well-run company I could trust. Highly recommend!

We have relied on Shannon to assist us with a number of placements over the years. Shannon is tenacious and committed to the responsibility of serving her clients. She has a strong network amongst assistants and paralegals and can be called upon when you need staffing solutions.

Nitin BhatiaSHOURIE BHATIA LLP - 2020

I have known Shannon for a few years. When I was looking for a job as an employee, she helped me get a few interviews.
When I became a business owner and an employer, Shannon again found a few fabulous workers. Our business also had a free online ad, so we got many applicants. However, none of them stood out like the ones Shannon referred. Shannon has been quite responsive and listens to our wish lists.
Thus far, we hired two employees through her and have been quite happy with our decisions.
Thank you, Shannon!

I have worked twice with Shannon to find two different placements - one of which I stayed at for 6 years. Shannon takes time to get to know you so she can find a position that will fit what you’re looking for and she’s an excellent communicator who responds quickly. I recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a new position in the legal field.

Tammy-Lynn LorenOffice Manager, Venture Law - 2020

I have known Shannon for many years through my work in the legal field. It wasn’t until this past September that I met with her to enlist her assistance in securing a new family law paralegal position. Shannon was extremely pleasant to work with, she was very quick to get my resume out to potential employers and had me booked in for an interview within the week. It was a pleasure to work with Shannon and she made sure the Employment Offer I received was exactly what I was looking for!”
I would highly recommend Ultimate Recruitment to anyone that is in need of some assistance in securing new employment in these very trying times.

Working with Shannon at Ultimate Recruitment was streamlined, convenient and effective. I found Shannon to be both down to earth and honest. Shannon landed me an interview followed by an employment offer in three days (including the weekend)! What a phenomenal experience.

Jonalynn BarronWitten LLP - Wills & Estates Paralegal - 2021

I have dealt with agencies / recruiters for most of my career and was seeing no movement in my current situation. Then Shannon reached out to me and quickly we connected in a trusting relationship. She was able to provide comments on my Resume and assist in my search for a suitable longtime position in Calgary. Things progressed and within a couple weeks we had a signed letter of employment. I was thrilled and would totally recommend Ultimate Recruitment.

Lisa Wintrip - FloaterParlee McLaws (Calgary) 2021

I recently applied to an ad for employment on Indeed posted by Shannon Anderson at Ultimate Recruitment. She reached out to me the same day and had an interview booked within a few days, a second interview and Offer of Employment a few days after that. She negotiated a competitive compensation package I was able to leave that to her. Within less than one week Shannon had placed me in a corporate paralegal position with a top firm. She truly is the ultimate recruiter!

Eve Bertrand - Corporate ParalegalBryan & Company LLP (Edmonton) 2021

I recently used Ultimate Recruitment to help with my job search. Shannon was very helpful on more than one occasion. She listened to what I was looking for in a job and kept in regular contact with me even though it took some time for the right job to become available. She made what can be a very stressful time as easy as possible. I highly recommend Ultimate Recruitment for your job search.

Debbie Thomson -Senior Litigation AssistantField Law (Edmonton)2021

Shannon @Ultimate Recruitment made the process of interviewing and finding the right employment easy and personable. You knew what would be a good fit for me even before I did, and even though I chose a different opportunity than the one you helped me find the first go around, you were just as helpful the second time around. You hustle and work hard and really do what you can to find the right fit, and I truly appreciate the help. I’m happier in my current employment than I have been in a long time and you helped me get there!

Ashley Noden-Legal AssistantBrownlee (Edmonton) 2021

After 20 years at one firm, jumping into just any position was not what I wanted to do. Shannon and her team at Ultimate Recruitment are amazing! Shannon really worked with me to figure out the best fit. She provided feedback, said no when she thought a firm wouldn’t work and gave me the reasons why. She was patient and did not just drop me into the first job that came along. I’m loving my new position. Thank you Shannon!!

Lava Schofield-Senior ParalegalWalsh LLP (Calgary) 2021

I met Shannon of Ultimate Recruitment many years ago before she was her own boss. Shannon is always friendly and professional, she works hard for you and always has your back and does what she needs to so you get what you need and want. She is also patient and will wait for you to be ready with no pressure. She goes above and beyond and for that I thank her and you won’t regret going with Ultimate Recruitment.

Kimberly Bodie-Debt Recovery ParalegalField Law (Edmonton) 2021

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Shannon at Ultimate Recruitment! I had a great experience.

Shannon is approachable and has a great personality that made me feel very comfortable. Shortly after our first meeting, she put me forward for an interview. Throughout the whole process she supported me, called me to see how each stage of the interview went and was prompt in following up. Within a few days, I had a job offer. I am now very happy in my new role and would recommend Shannon in a heartbeat to anyone interested in a position in the legal field.

Thank you, Shannon!

Mirabella Maier - Patent ParalegalField Law - (Calgary) 2021

Shannon has consistently reached out to me with positions that she thought that I would be a good fit for, and has always worked hard for me as a client. She is excellent at keeping me in the loop and keeping in touch with me about where things are at with potential positions and interviews and is the first person that I recommend people contact when they are in the market for a new role. Shannon always seems to have her finger on the pulse of what's happening in the legal industry and I always trust that she can help me keep current on what I need to know when looking for a role and has even helped with updating my resume!

Krista GibsonDunphy Best Blocksom (Calgary) 2021

Shannon is an excellent professional, diligent and extremely efficient. She recently placed me at my current position and the whole process from receiving her email with a job description to the verbal offer of employment took 4 days. Shannon already had my portfolio ready to go and when I gave her the green light to submit my resume to the employer she also sent my references, and as the employer was in a time constraint to hire quickly, Shannon was able to deliver and meet both the employer and my expectations. Shannon is a delight to work with and she knows what is expected of her in this fast paced environment.

Carla FerreiraField Law (Calgary) 2022

Shannon was super helpful in assisting me getting my current job which I love. She assisted with tips on my résumé, and was easily available to answer questions, and to get a hold of. She was very friendly and personable and made me feel comfortable. She did an awesome job at negotiating my salary, which I’m very happy with. I would recommend Shannon’s services to everyone.
