“Jackie is a fantastic Recruiter. I have known her for the better part of 15 years, and she has helped me hire several employees during that time. She is professional and outgoing in addition to being a good listener and makes it a point to thoroughly vet potential candidates before sending them to me. This has proven to be a successful system because it alleviates time and energy from me in the hiring process. I strongly recommend Jackie to anyone in search of a new employee. She has always done right by me, and I will continue using her for my hiring needs. 5 Stars.”

“I must say, in a world of many recruiters, Jackie definitely took this role and made it her own. Throughout the entire hiring process, Jackie was professional, engaged, intelligent on all company policies, and diligent in meeting required tasks. If I had the opportunity to do this again, Jackie would be my first pick because she loves what she does, and you could easily tell from the way that she delivers for the firm. Her energy, drive and pursuit of excellence is immeasurable and second to none.”

“After graduating from college in 2021, I began my job search and discovered an Administrative Marketing position on Indeed. Shortly after I submitted my application, Jackie reached out and provided expert guidance throughout the interview process with enthusiasm and professionalism. This support ultimately led to an offer for my role with the team. Now, over three years later, I can confidently say that this opportunity has significantly impacted my life. It has allowed me to grow professionally, form meaningful relationships and pursue professional licenses that are shaping my career trajectory.”

“I have been a part of the Blue Ocean family for a year and a half. I have learned so much and have the opportunity to work with such great people. I have Jackie McDermott to thank for that. I have known Jackie and her family for years, as I grew up playing baseball with her son, Vincent. When she reached out to me about the opportunity at Blue Ocean, I knew I had to come in and learn more about it. Jackie was very upfront about what the role entailed, her positive energy, along with her belief that I would be a perfect fit for the position, influenced my decision to join the team. She has always looked out for my best interests since I have been here and I am incredibly grateful for the help and support she has given me.”
