Testimonials"I’ve worked with Rich for 15+ years, both in the context of Rich representing me for personal job searches, as well as with Rich providing candidates to me as a hiring manager. In each case, Rich has consistently been great to work with and has always left me feeling he’s one of the best recruiters in the software business. If you have the opportunity to work with Rich in either capacity, I highly recommend him." Steve Wetterling, Regional Vice President at Service-Now "Rich is a great recruiter but a better person. I think this is an important trait when someone is helping you with your career. He is going to look out for what is in your best interest and not push a position on you that isn’t a good fit. Rich helped me find my current position and I couldn’t be happier. Rich knew me and my hiring manager – he knew it would be a great fit and helped me understand that. When and if I need to find another position Rich will be my first phone call." Dipan Patel, Placed at Good Data 2013 "I had never used a recruiter in my career prior to working with Rich. I had been with 3 software companies in 15 years and had always gone to a new company through a contact that I had worked with previously. When I knew that I wanted to get out in the market again in October of 2013 I had the opportunity to go work with a number of folks I had worked with in the past, but I wanted to see what was out there outside of my circle of contacts. Rich had always been consistent in reaching out to me when there were opportunities that matched my background in Chicago so I called Rich and let him know I’d like to get into either mobility, cloud computing or big data. Rich found me very credible opportunities in all three spaces and I ended up getting offers from two of the companies that I had to decide between.To be very honest I was really surprised, I thought I’d go my entire career just working with the circle of contacts I had made in my 15 years but this new opportunity has been amazing and as a result I’ve added to my network considerably. Thanks Rich!" Brad Stilling, Placed at Perfecto Mobile 2014 "Rich and I have been working together for almost 20 years in both individual contributor and sales leadership roles. As I have grown and expanded my sales teams in different organizations, Rich has consistently differentiated himself from internal recruiters and other external recruiters by being extremely thorough, asking the tough questions, and being well prepared to understand the critical success factors we are looking for in candidates. Rich’s attention to detail translates into time savings and increased productivity by screening the candidates so we are only meeting with prospects who meet our criteria. When we meet with Rich’s candidates, they are always more prepared and have better understanding of role and responsibility which makes for more productive interviews."
