Just had my second incredible experience with Ciprani Consulting!! And this time not for my real estate company, but for my mortgage company! They did an awesome job of not only generating candidates, but vetting the best ones for me to interview. Incredible time saver AND narrowed the field down to the best possible candidates!! Thank you again!!!!!
Wow just doesn't cover it! Kara Shone & her team at Ciprani Consulting are second to NONE! The customer experience was amazing, her follow up and follow through was everything one could only wish for and the results...THE PERFECT HIRE! I can't say enough good things about Kara & Ciprani!
My experience working with Ciprani Consulting for my new EA hire was nothing short of fantastic! I was hesitant to pull the trigger because adding another expense when I was on the brink of a new hire seemed like it may not be the best thing to do. I was wrong! Steve and Kara took so much off my plate it was absolutely worth it! Steve dedicated so much time to me walking me through the process as I was making my decision and then Kara stepped in to run the show. I received consistent communication along the way and you can tell they truly care about helping you. Having the candidates screened and only the select few that they determined were best qualified presented saved me so much time. They were a valuable resource when it came time to make my decision and also consulted on appropriate compensation for our area and helped me revise my offer letter and job description. I HIGHLY recommend Ciprani Consulting! Why do this yourself when you can get highly skilled experts in the field to do it for you more efficiently?
Stella and Kara, are great to work with. They were very honest and kind throughout the process and generally cared about finding the right fit for the right job. Highly recommend
I had a disappointing experience during a Zoom interview with this company’s recruiter. The questions asked did not align with the job description and were often confusing rather than relevant. The recruiter spoke very fast and appeared impatient and dismissive throughout the interview. When I tried to clarify questions or provide thoughtful answers, the responses felt rushed and unprofessional. Overall, the interaction made me feel uncomfortable and undervalued as a candidate. The process felt disorganized, to the point that I questioned its legitimacy. I would advise other candidates to approach this interview process with caution.
Wow, Ciprani Consultant is impressive. They were highly professional and was able to find me a great candiate during a normall slow quarter (late 4th). Richie was outstanding and ran a great interview.
Thank you so much for this great review. Richie does a fantastic job and we're excited to see how 2026 pans out for you all.

Stella at Ciprani Consulting was a pleasure to speak with about a Sr. Director Role. She asked direct questions, set expectations about the process and maintained a level of professionalism throughout the process.
Working with Kara Shone at Ciprani Consulting was an absolute game changer for our search. We needed to fill a very tough Operations Manager role for Suburban Solutions Moving and Main Line Junk, and Kara went above and beyond from day one. She put in the hours—literally all hours—screening countless candidates with a level of thoroughness and care that’s hard to find.
What impressed me most was how Kara delivered a deep bench of truly qualified, ready-to-go candidates. She made an incredibly challenging hiring process feel organized, smooth, and even fun. Her professionalism, communication, and commitment to getting it right were outstanding.
I couldn’t be happier with the experience. If you need someone who will treat your search like it’s their top priority, Kara is the person you want in your corner. Highly recommend!
Richie made the hiring process very easy and clear. He effectively communicated with me throughout the entire time and made sure that everyone was on the same page.
I had the pleasure of speaking to Kara throughout the recruiting process and she made the experience seamless and inviting! She was easy to communicate with, always timely in her responses, and made sure all of my questions were answered. The interview process is quite in-depth but it really allows for them to get to know you as a person to make sure the role is the right fit. It was a pleasure to work with their company!
First, I want to commend your firm for the initial stages of our interaction. Scheduling our first two meetings was seamless, and our conversations were both engaging and purposeful. I left those discussions with the impression that your team was organized, considerate, and genuinely invested in both your client’s needs and the candidate experience.
However, my experience following our second interview has been disappointing and raises larger concerns. After our last conversation, communication from your side dropped off significantly. My initial follow-up email went unanswered, and only after a second prompt did I receive a brief response stating that the team had chosen to move forward with other candidates.
This lack of timely and transparent feedback not only undermines the positive impression created during the early stages but also contradicts the values your firm claims to uphold. Specifically, I was told, “We commit to providing you feedback by COB Tuesday of next week.” It has now been over two weeks since that promised deadline, and the only communication I received was reactive rather than proactive.
With over 24 years of experience in human capital management, I have seen firsthand how inconsistent communication from recruiters, consultants, and HR professionals damages not just candidate relationships but also the reputation of the firm and its clients. It is no mystery why candidates sometimes resort to “ghosting” recruiters or declining offers at the last minute; often, they are simply mirroring the lack of respect and follow-through they have experienced themselves.
Promises matter. Ciprani’s own commitment, as stated on your website, includes:
To deliver a 10+ WOW experience.
To be communicative throughout the entire process.
To be honest throughout the entire process.
Yet my experience fell short of these standards.
If a firm cannot reliably deliver on the most basic professional commitments—such as timely follow-up and transparent communication—how can clients or candidates trust them with more complex responsibilities? I genuinely wonder if your client, the real estate firm in Middletown, DE, is aware of how their brand is being represented in this important search for a Director of Operations.
I share this feedback not out of frustration, but out of a genuine desire to see the recruiting experience improve for all parties. Consistent, transparent, and respectful communication is not just a ‘nice-to-have’—it is a cornerstone of your brand and your clients’ reputations. I hope you will take this message as constructive input and reconsider the way follow-up is handled moving forward.
Hi Michael, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Both my hiring consultant and I have left you a voicemail today to discuss this.
I want to acknowledge that you emailed our hiring consultant on November 6 and did not receive a response. We truly apologize for that. Our team was in our annual planning event last week, and we got behind on a few candidate messages. As soon as you reached out today, our consultant replied right away to let you know that our client ultimately went in a different direction.
We pride ourselves on having one of the strongest recruiting processes in the industry and on responding quickly, so I am sorry that we missed the mark here. You can always call our office directly for an update, and I am always available for a quick call or email if there is ever an issue with communication. We find that a short conversation helps us resolve things much faster and gives us the chance to support you better than a poor review. Nevertheless, if anyone that sees this review is having a similar experience with my hiring team please contact me on my cell phone at 484-354-1606. Our candidates and clients are extremely important to us hence publishing my cell phone number so you can contact us directly!
We are always happy to consider candidates for additional opportunities that may be a better fit, and we would welcome the chance to keep you in mind moving forward. We believe it's always best to come from a place of curiosity around why there might have been a lack of communication on anyones end verses a place of blame.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you the very best in your search. Linzee Ciprani, Owner
I had the pleasure of working with Kara during my interview for an administrative role. Her professionalism, responsive communication, and kindness have made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Kara is great to work with and perfectly represents the quality service Ciprani is known for!
Ciprani Consulting has been a pleasure to work with. Linzee’s professionalism and outstanding communication made every step of the process smooth and stress-free. It’s clear they truly care about their clients’ success. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Experience with Richie Forte!
Working with Richie Forte was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was extremely professional, upbeat, and full of positive energy throughout the entire hiring process. Richie stayed in touch every step of the way, always making sure I fully understood each part of the process and felt confident moving forward. His communication, optimism, and genuine care for my success really stood out.
Richie didn’t just help me find a job — he helped me start an exciting new career path. I’m truly grateful for his support and dedication. If you ever get the chance to work with Richie, consider yourself lucky — he’s one of the best in the business!
