"I had a fantastic experience with Clutch. They had great opportunities I would not have otherwise found. After interviews with three different companies, I finally found the perfect match. I worked with Cody, Ann Li, and Ginger. They were all professional, kind, and patient. Cody prepped me well for each interview. I can't thank Clutch enough!"
ClaireKillingworth, CT
"I loved working with Clutch. They've gotten me a graphic design opportunity very quickly. The process started with a phone call and I was able to secure a contract position within 2 weeks of the initial call. I'm looking forward to working with this agency in the future."

"Absolutely 100% would suggest Clutch to anyone looking for a position in the digital, creative, and marketing world. Thank you for all of your professionalism and hard work! Thank you Cody and the team at Clutch for all of your professionalism and handwork (and for overall being awesome human beings)!"
EleanorPhiladelphia, PA
"Graduating and finding job openings during the pandemic was extremely challenging and at times discouraging. Cody was so helpful when it came to finding roles for me and he was so easy to get in touch with. He ended up helping me book a great freelance gig with a mid sized agency that got my career off the ground! I definitely plan on using Clutch to find jobs in the future!"
AllieBedford, PA
"I have to say out of all the recruiters in Philadelphia none of them have proved to be as successful, relentless and passionate about getting their client a job. I had the pleasure of working with Cody Michalowski and I couldn't have been happier at the level of commitment he put in. Not only did he meet my expectations, but exceeded them in finding me a position in only 2 weeks! Thank you Cody and the team at Clutch for being awesome at what you do!"
BenNovi, MI
"Clutch lives up to their name. They work arduously to find the right fit and are there when you need them. Always. My experience with them as been nothing less than spectacular. They shouldn't be bundled with the word "recruiter" or "headhunter". Their personal approach gives you hope and confidence that they will solve any problem at any cost. They redefine the job hunting experience."
KenElmira, NY
"Clutch is clutch, pun intended, but also an authentication to who they are as a company. Clutch is a great creative staffing firm. I worked with Cody and he is fantastic! He was always available when needed and offered the perfect amount of guidance, not pushy or insistent. I highly recommend them."
