I’d recommend Sidekick and Alex to anyone looking to grow the capacity of their Project Management and Superintendent capabilities.

Before working with Sidekick, we needed help with finding, considering and hiring Project Managers and Superintendents that had passion and aptitude for building beautiful, intricate Hospitality projects, quickly.

What impressed me most was and is the quality of candidates that Alex brings forth. In a short time, he found us candidates who understood who we are and were genuinely interested in joining Cafco. Due to our work and how we want to approach it. As a result, we’ve begun another chapter in the future of Cafco, with solid candidates still willing to grow.
