Google Rating of 5.0 ★★★★

Hi, my name is Melissa Lacasella and this is my 12th year at Car People. As a former Service Advisor for 7 years locally,  I love helping people confidentially with their careers.

No matter where you work or who you work for your contact with me will be 100% confidential.  You are my customer and have the right to look for a new job if that’s your choice but I don’t recruit people.

I look forward to helping you confidentially as a customer with your Career, Resume, Interview Coaching and Compensation. We make it easy for you!  This is our 38th year in business.

We have the contacts! Many of the Dealer Principals and General Managers I work with are long term customers. Many of the  Fixed Operations Directors and Service  Managers I work with are people we have placed in their jobs or have long term relationships with.

“Almost 3 decades in Automotive here in the Portland Metro area and, although I’ve known about Melissa and Car People I never had the need to use them as an applicant. That changed recently and I can’t tell you how happy I am to have had Melissa in my corner.

 

Her integrity, connections, perseverance and communication are exemplary. She takes great pride in getting to know her clients, what they stand for and what fits them best. Let her go to work for you and I guarantee you will not regret it. Thanks Melissa !”

MULTI BRAND NEW CAR DEALERSHIP  OREGON 

Melissa did a good job of listening to my situation and what type of job I wanted at this point in my career. I didn’t want to just jump into something.  She was very aware of what I wanted and found me two opportunities.  She did a good job of tailoring those jobs to my needs. Melissa placed me as a Fixed Operations Director and I love it here!

I’ve never used a service like you guys and I must say I’m glad I did. You guys are very knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. Thank you, I’m glad I was referred to you!

Melissa carefully vetted Service Manager candidates prior to giving me a list of people to consider. She provided me with references from former employers so I could choose what Applicants I wanted to talk to.  The references she checked were very valuable to us. It saved me a lot of time.  Melissa significantly reduced the time it took to find and hire a new Service Manager. She made it easy for  me.

One of the things I really liked is every time I called for Melissa she was available and I got right through to her. If I emailed or texted her I could always reach her.  Melissa is consistent  and that is one of the things I love about her. She is wonderful.  When I was in a high stress situation she’d calm me right down and took care of business. Melissa is definitely worth what we pay her for.
