The Larko Group reviews

I have worked with various staffing firms over the years, and I can honestly say that TLG is the most authentic & dedicated group of recruiters in Chicago. The Larko Group sincerely cares about making the best matches between candidates and their clients, and I trust them more than anyone else in the industry. They value quality over quantity and never make you feel as though you're just another number.

I’ll be the first to admit—I was skeptical of recruiters. After running into so many who didn’t seem to have my best interests at heart, I wasn’t sure working with one would lead anywhere meaningful. But Emily Cullen at The Larko Group completely changed that perception and my career trajectory. After having a baby, I wasn’t actively planning to return to work and felt hesitant about re-entering the workforce with a gap in my history. Emily not only saw potential in me that I hadn’t yet recognized in myself, but she also took the time to understand what I needed professionally and personally. She connected me with an incredible opportunity at a medical device manufacturing startup in an operations and administrative role. What started as a leap of faith turned into the catalyst for a long-term career path. Following the company’s acquisition in 2024, I stayed on and have since grown into a mid-level corporate role with exciting opportunities ahead in the medtech industry. None of this would have happened without Emily’s thoughtful guidance and unwavering support. If you’re hesitant about working with recruiters, know that there are genuine professionals out there—and Emily Cullen is absolutely one of them. I can’t recommend her and The Larko Group enough!
