Recruiter Spotlight: Michael Aronowitz — The Art of the Perfect Candidate-Client Match

Some recruiters are sprinters — fast, high-volume, always moving. Michael Aronowitz, Account Manager and Recruiter at Engage Partners' Florida office, is a marathoner. His methodical, relationship-driven approach produces placements with exceptional retention rates — because he takes the time to get it right.

Building a Team From Zero

A newly established division of a larger company needed to build its entire operational support team — from administrative assistants to accounting staff to customer service leads. They had office space, a budget, and a launch date. What they didn't have was a single employee.

They brought in Michael and Engage Partners to make it happen.

A Systematic Approach

Michael started by understanding the division's goals, culture aspirations, and how the team would need to evolve over the first 12 months. He then built a hiring roadmap — prioritizing foundational roles first, then layering in specialized positions as the team took shape.

For each role, Michael didn't just source for skills. He evaluated for team dynamics — how each new hire would interact with the people already in place. The result was a team that clicked from day one.

The Result

Over three months, Michael placed 12 professionals across the division. One year later, 11 of 12 were still in their roles — a 92% retention rate that far exceeded industry benchmarks. The division hit its first-year targets two months early.

"Building a team isn't about filling seats," Michael says. "It's about creating an ecosystem where every person makes the people around them better."
