Brilliant CEO Jeff Mariola says, "It is an honor to be recognized on Forbes 2018 list of America's Best Professional Recruiting Firms for a second year. To be named No. 2 on a list of 250 prominent, national firms is truly humbling. Brilliant's mission is to make peoples' lives better. The recognition by Forbes is proof that our team's hard work to fulfill that mission is being achieved. Although we may be more localized than many of the firms recognized by Forbes, the caliber of our team continues to go unmatched in the industry."
