Guziak was one of the original founders of Baystone Partners. While working there, Jill Guziak created a winning system and used her time and experience to perfect the process. Finding and acquiring qualified sales talent for her clients allowed her to use a trial and error process for what works and what does not. Having Baystone to guide her along the way, Guziak worked her way into the staff of other top professional recruiters to better learn and study. Being amongst these experienced coworkers helped her build a successful strategy for choosing candidates.
Baystone has a commitment to providing excellent service for everyone involved and this is one of the elements that Guziak instilled in herself as the foundation for success.
