    Why talk to Austin Hale?

    Nicole Stone joined Troutman Pepper Locke's Atlanta office in the Insurance group.

    Austin is an incredible recruiter and advocate for any person looking for a new professional role. He is upfront about details and what to expect from the potential role and he communicated with me throughout the entire pre and post interview process to ensure I was comfortable with the outcome. Austin is easily the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with and made my “non negotiables” a priority when it came to finding the right fit for me professionally.
