Dear Rajiv Kandukuri,

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your support and assistance over the last two years. In the ten plus years that I have been a consultant, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with recruiters and HR personnel time and again, none close to your caliber and professionalism.

Your skill in convincing the clients, candidates and senior management to achieve a win-win agreement between all parties is highly commendable. Negotiation is a highly-specialized skill and you excel in it. On both a professional and a personal level, I really appreciate all the time and effort that you put into understanding your candidate’s needs and delivering beyond expectations. I certainly learned a lot about the unique aspects of recruitment processes and HR operations in your part of the world (not to mention the things you taught me about the art of selecting the right crystal).

I once read ‘A players hire A players and B players hire C players’ meaning the good players hire good candidates and OK players hire the not-so-good. In my opinion you are A++ and you have an eye to find the A++.

Keep up the great work and I wish you the very best.

Very sincerely,

Srinivas Uppugonduri CISA^®, PMP^®, CISSP^®

Thank you for all your help and quick action on everything. It is nice to know that I have someone like you on my side. I really respect the way you go above and beyond for me. You not only got me a perfect job with a great company but also offered me more money than what I asked for. I have been a contractor for many years and you stand apart from the others. Thank you again

I have been working with Rajiv for the past one and half years, and it’s been a wonderful experience working with him. As a Technical Recruiter, Rajiv is doing a terrific job and always providing the best support to the consultants and potential recruits. He answered and returned all my calls promptly whenever I needed help. Also he mediated and resolved the issues that I had with my client regarding my extended vacation during an emergency family situation that I had and also with my laptop problem. I worked with several recruiters in the past, I can state clearly that Rajiv was honest, sincere and dedicated in all the things that we worked together. It's been great knowing and working with him.

Thanks and Regards,

Re: Rajiv Kandukuri (Technical Recruiter)

From: Merwyn L. Thompson

To whom it may concern, I would like very much to express my utmost thanks for the job Rajiv Kandukuri did for me in acquiring my current position. He went above and beyond the call of duty considering the time frame and initial job description that was supplied to him by the company in question.

This position originally would not have fit my families needs. However, Rajiv did not give up. He and I spoke many times about alternatives and finally decided to arrange an interview.

Please keep in mind that this was a "cold" call from Rajiv to myself via a resume I posted on the Web. We had never talked before the initial phone call.

In any case, the interview was scheduled by Rajiv and the following Monday I was hired. We have been in constant contact since then, and it's been of tremendous value to be able to call Rajiv with any question I have.

I would also like to take a moment to thank Sumit Bhandari for his help with Payroll. Contract positions (in regards to time cards) can be difficult, but Sumit (via Rajiv) made the process easy.

Best Regards,

Merwyn L. Thompson

Hi Rajiv,

I'd like to thank you for contacting me regarding the contractor position I now have at EMC in Hopkinton. You explained that I might be over qualified and the position was to work nights, but allowed me to make the choice to interview. I explained that I would be very happy for the opportunity to work at EMC it's a well known company and is in line with the type of work I've been doing for the past 27 years. The possibility that I would have the chance to become a direct employee here is wonderful. Thank you for staying in contact with me to make sure I understand policies and procedures.

Regards,

Hi,

Today is my last day in IIC and I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. It was a great career opportunity and a pleasure to be part of IIC and to work for NavAgility. You always showed me kindness in all the way and set the environment that allowed me to work with my new baby! It's hard to find the right words to thank and say goodbye, but I really mean it.

Bye

Rajiv Kandukuri has been a great help finding and working with me to get this contract job with EMC. He has been professional, thorough and demonstrated experience in all phases of the process. He kept in contact with me and with the perspective job multiple times a day, which I appreciated. I had been looking for a job for about 5 months. Within less than a week of speaking with Rajiv, he had found me the ideal contracting position. I will recommend him to friends seeking similar positions.

Sincerely,

Dear Rajiv ,

I am writing this letter to thank you personally for all your support, you are an excellent recruiter who helped me find my first job in US three years ago, walked me through all the complicated process and paper work. It is very impressive that you always go above and beyond what I could expect to find some good projects for me, and what you suggested was exactly the one I was looking for.It is true that I couldn't have succeeded without the kindly support from you. I believe you have set a very good example that will inspire others to do the same.

I want to take a moment to let you know I want to convey my special thanks to you, we have been working three years together and I know that it's truly important to me. I sincerely appreciate your efforts for everything!

Best Regards,

To Whomsoever It May Concern

Firstly, I would like to thank Rajiv for all the help he extended to me from the day IIC started filing for my H1B visa to secure my professional services in USA.

Rajiv assisted me in sorting out all the H1B related documentation for my visa processing. His efforts in addressing my visa related queries were commendable. Rajiv not only provided me with valuable support and guidance during these times of distress but also kept motivating me with his positive attitude. He was meticulous and prompt in compiling pertinent information on my case because of which I successfully acquired a visa stamping.

Rajiv’s professionalism lies in the fact that he understands and delivers what his candidates need to excel on their assignments. It was a very smooth sail for me since then, as Rajiv scheduled an interview for me the very first day that I arrived in New York and I landed an excellent project with Accenture working at Bank of America. He coached me patiently on interview etiquettes and best practices which were very practical and results oriented.

Furthermore, it was Rajiv who also helped me relocate to Charlotte, NC from Poughkeepsie, NY. I was delighted at the way he handled things making it a hassle free experience. Rajiv is in constant touch with me to address any and all of my career related concerns. He has excellent knowledge of current technology trends, HR industry best practices, customer satisfaction goals and more importantly self-improvement strategies.

Finally, I want to add that Rajiv enjoys a personal rapport with his consultants to make them feel secure and welcome. Having spent 10 years in IT, I came across several recruiters in the past who were so cocky and chaotic that anyone who has worked in contracting long enough would know exactly what I mean.

On the contrary, I feel Rajiv is an indefatigable professional who works very hard to ensure that you look good in front of your customers. I strongly recommend everyone to seek Rajiv’s recruiting services and to engage him as your career counselor.

TO WHOMEVER IT MAY CONCERN:

Rajiv Kandukuri is a terrific recruiter to work with. He has been very helpful and attentive to all my needs. He has always been there to address my concerns. Transitioning from an IBM project to Verizon project is not easy but Rajiv made it happen for me. Rajiv is a career-oriented professional who steers consultants in the right direction. He provides contractors with great leads and follows through on all of them. He is always accessible and a pleasure to work with. If you were looking for a consulting engagement, I would strongly recommend that you contact Rajiv for your next assignment. I have had a great experience working with him and I believe you will too. I wish him all the success.

Dear Rajiv,

I can't thank you enough for allowing me the opportunity to work for the IBM Dow Chemical account. So far, it is the job of my dreams. I look forward to tackling those difficult technical issues while working from home!!!! I can't believe it.

Thank you for you time, consideration, and patience. I wish you the best!!

Dear Mr. Rajiv Kandukuri,

I was very fortunate to have you contact me back in 2006. It was a pleasant surprise to receive help, as well as support, from a recruiter who was as supportive, professional and attentive as you.

You were efficient and prompt in seeing to it that my skills and professional background were matched to the fullest potential. In addition, I saw myself finally being able to start my career in a direction that I actually wanted it to go.

Additionally, you addressed all of my questions and concerns--which were many (from the very start--before being hired to my very first day of actual employment) and you always got back to me promptly via phone and e-mail.

I can honestly say that I had never had the pleasure of working with a recruiter who was so considerate, caring, supportive and especially dedicated to making sure that the job search and eventual job fulfillment was a smooth and more successful one.

I want to let you know that I am so very grateful for everything you have done for me thus far. With that said, I truly wish the best for you and in all that you will continue to do.

Best regards,

Kofi T. Momoh Jr.
