Testimonials

There are a number of compelling reasons why I have found working with Burton & Associates has produced great outcomes for me.

Phil has some excellent contacts and can spread a fairly wide net. That works really well for all parties involved. He has good industry knowledge which allows him to match clients skill sets to roles, but probably more importantly he also understands people well and can match people at both end of the relationship role.
He’s passionate about what he does, professional, thorough and very easy to work with.

I approached Phil for a chance to make a successful career a year and a half ago, after completion of my course.

He willingly took keen interest in handling my profile and tried very hard to get me an opportunity.
He kept me posted on all the places he applied for and I could undoubtedly notice keen interest. He tried really hard with communications back and forth with the companies.
He got me an interview in a big firm where I was successfully selected.
Phil kept me assured that he was backing me up and I was doing well.
His valuable timely feedback has helped me in becoming what I am today.
If it wasn’t for Phil, I don’t know if I could have made this far.
A BIG thumbs up from me to Phil and Burton associates. You guys are the best!

Phil has a fantastic understanding of the IT industry. And the ability to see individuals talent and passion. I would recommend Phil to anyone looking to get their first or next step in their IT career!

I had a great experience dealing with Phil. I found him very helpful and my experience with Phil was awesome. The great thing is that I had a quick response and he did what he said in our first meeting. He said he will forward my profile to the company and did the same in a very short span which was very satisfactory for me. Also I found him comfortable to deal with and easy to approach for any queries/questions I had. Besides professional dealing, I found him a great and honest human being. He is just a call away and I it is an honour to be on his list.
