Katherine, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help in finding me such a great recruit. I am completely impressed that you identified x as the ideal candidate before I had even met her. She is a perfect fit and I am really looking forward to working with her. If I was in need of a husband that would have been my next ask! But seriously, 10 out of 10 for the service you have provided.
