"I’ve been working with WSA for many years now and I’ve always been able to rely on them to listen to my needs and respond with good solid candidates."

"As a cloud implementation manager, I’ve had needs across the cloud spectrum, from cloud native to cloud migrations in AWS and Azure. The team at WSA has continued to find me these “unicorns” with the right attitude and the right backgrounds.

Testimonial

"Over a 20-year professional relationship, WSA has earned my trust in a way few business partners ever do."

"Early in my career, they helped place me in roles that advanced my professional growth. As my career progressed into leadership positions, that relationship evolved into a true partnership. At multiple companies over the years, I relied on WSA to help build and strengthen my engineering teams. Time and again, the talent they sourced proved to be among the best engineers and professionals I’ve managed. Their ability to understand both the technical requirements and the cultural fit of a team consistently resulted in hires who made an immediate and lasting impact. What truly sets WSA apart is their integrity. When strong candidates I know find themselves between opportunities, they’re the first firm I refer them to. I know they’ll be treated with respect and matched with roles that genuinely fit their skills and career goals. For any company or candidate looking for a staffing partner they can rely on over the long haul, I recommend Wellington Steele and Associates without reservation."

- Patrick Conroy, CTO of Convene Hospitality Group
