  • “I have had the pleasure of working with Carrera for years and have found them to be a firm capable of finding the needle hiding in a field of haystacks.   I have also come to expect those resources to be well vetted and highly qualified.”

    Jerry McGlynn, VP of IT at major sports/apparel retailer
  • “I’ve had a great relationship with all of the staff at Carrera for the past two years!  They are such pleasant and professional folks to work with that I’m a little sad to be leaving for a full time opportunity. I know the next time I’m on the market, they will be the first place I send my resume.”

    Karen Rognas, Javascript / Web Developer
  • “It’s not hard to find a gig.  What’s a challenge is to find an engagement that fits, where you can make a difference, and be of real value.  Carrera helped me find just such a gig.”

    Rich Bogan, Data Warehouse Engineer
  • “When The Carrera Agency reached out to me, my Talent Manager was very friendly and helped me find a long-term contract that was a good fit; I was offered competitive pay, medical benefits, 401k, and even given paid sick days. The company they paired me with had great people to work with and a strong relationship with Carrera. My contact also checks on me often to make sure I’m happy and thriving.”

    Marcy Soria, MBA, MotionMD Integration Specialist
  • “The Carrera Agency has been a great partner to DJO Global.  After we have identified new technology that can create value, we are always anxious to ramp up project teams quickly.  Barb Munro and her team have done a great job of understanding our needs and bringing us a qualified project team quickly.  A recent example involved some work we decided to do around developing solutions on the Force.com platform along with integrated native mobile applications.  Carrera’s network and market knowledge across a wide breadth of technologies allows us to go from concept to value much more quickly than we could on our own.”

    Chris Shen, Former CIO, DJO Global
  • “I’ve worked with The Carrera Agency for a year now and have enjoyed the experience. They free me from the overhead of managing clients and are always a phone call or email away when I have a question or concern. I would highly recommend them to any consultant who wants to hunker down and focus exclusively on their work.”

    Neal Clark, Sr. Software Engineer
  • “The Carrera Agency stood out because they really cared about placing me for a long-term engagement. They had a personal touch and successfully found a position that was a perfect match for my experience and career objectives. Additionally, I had to relocate my family from Canada to San Diego, an added challenge that Carrera helped me with throughout the entire process. I’m very grateful to The Carrera Agency for finding this position and assisting in my family’s transition to San Diego.”

    Chris Allensworth, Sr. Project Manager
  • “When The Carrera Agency first contacted me, I was presented with a consulting opportunity I may not have considered without their encouragement. Although I was initially hesitant to apply, It turned out I did have the skills the company needed and the entire experience turned out great. When the engagement approached its end, I was converted to a full time employee — I’m happy to say, I love my work.”

    Andrea Marshall, Manager, Document Control
  • The Carrera Agency placed me into a contract role that was a perfect fit for me!  The interviewing, benefits, and overall support were top notch.  While at Carrera, I felt the work I was performing for the client was really valued. Carrera was more than just a talent management firm but rather a partner.  Carrera exceeded my expectations as a contractor and I would be happy to work with them again in the future.

    Jason Clauson
  • “Carrera has done outstanding work for my company. They’ve always provided us with the right talent to help staff our software engineering organization with high quality people. They were especially helpful in filling our specific needs for high tech mobile and java specialists. They are extremely responsive and an agency we can rely on to fill our hard to find consulting needs.”

    Gil Zaldivar, Former VP of Engineering, DirecTV
  • “Working with Carrera has been great. They were eager to help meet my needs and adjust, as quickly as possible, when my needs changed. They connected me with one of the best jobs I’ve had yet, and and helped me get my own business on its way!”

    Andrew Rahman, Field Integration Technologist
  • “I have been with The Carrera Agency for nearly 2 years now and it has been a great journey. They take good care of their consultants and provide a safe and reliable environment for us. The best part about working with them is the communication level between the consultant and the company. I look forward to many more years with Carrera.”

    Pratyusha Pradakshina, iOS Developer
  • “The Carrera Agency stands out above any other agency with whom I have ever worked, because of the genuine interest they took in me, as a person. Gayle and Morgen went above and beyond to ensure that I felt important through all employment phases, even when it didn’t immediately benefit them. I am forever grateful for their help in placing me and taking care of me. I feel like our relationship is more like friends or family now, rather than employer/employee. I cannot say enough good things about Carrera, and I unequivocally recommend them.”

    Ray Schleicher, IT Systems Engineer, Productivity Innovation
  • “The Carrera Agency has been outstanding in consulting with our company, Renters Legal Liability LLC. They have provided astute and timely advice in helping us streamline our processes and functions. Their consultancy has been invaluable in helping us identify immediate and ongoing needs, and more importantly, in pinpointing and leveraging the potential in each of our employees. Thanks to Carrera, we move forward better able to grow our company.”

    Gus Colessides, Chief Operations Officer, Renters Legal Liability LLC
  • “Carrera provided exceptional talent on short notice with the skills needed to complete a business-critical compliance program.”

    Leo Dittemore, Director, Info Security & Privacy, HCISPP
  • “I have been a Carrera client for four years.  They are one of the most reliable, professional, and results-oriented organizations that I have ever worked with in my career.  They consistently find me top quality, highly motivated technical talent to assist in managing our global organization.  They have proven their ability to learn my management style and provide our teams with a wide variety of technical expertise. Their level of responsiveness and sense of partnership coupled with finding the “right” talent for the position requirement is exceptional.  I am extremely pleased with the relationship and the work Carrera provides.”

    Glen Gambal, Executive Director, Information Technology, Global Pharmaceutical Organization
  • “As a local firm, we are always trying to help our Clients to the best of our ability, with heavy demands and a constrained resource market, we sometimes need to look to partners for talent and when we do, we turn to Carrera because they are simply the best.. period.  They treat our Clients as well as we do.  And their resources are of a caliber that we cannot get thru other agencies.  Over my 10yr relationship with Carrera, they have been a solid partner, and stood behind their commitments 100% of the time..and that’s very rare in this space.”

    Chris Lord, General Manager, Southern California at Slalom Consulting
  • “I’ve been with The Carrera Agency for more than a year now and my experience has been extremely positive. The Talent Managers take time to meet the consultants in person to discuss the status of the projects and they have great standing relationships with their clients. I am soon going to be employed at one of their clients and I couldn’t have asked for more support from the team at Carrera during this transition period. Many thanks, Carrera!”

    Sashi Sabnavis, Oracle Applications Consultant

As an IT Executive, I have had their support for management and professional training, consulting and also interim software engineering consulting support. I have recommended this team to several other CIO’s in the Orange County / San Diego area for the last 10 years.”

    Bob Houghton, Southwest CIO-BDE, NetApp, Inc.
