Hiring great talent is critical to one's success and we had an opening for a key role with an eCommerce/Digital Marketing specialty. Other recruiters told us we were asking for the world...Jerry just got the job done. I've known Jerry for nearly 20 years, as do many others in the industry. That comes in handy when you need to find the passive candidate. Thanks Jerry

Jerry ran a search for our Director of CRM several years ago. He quickly "got" the company's needs, understood and helped enhance our "selling story", and did an expert job of finding candidates who were a great match.

There is truly no one else like him: He knows all the major players at the big retailers (specialty, apparel, etc), and is considered the "go to guy" for hiring in CRM, direct marketing, and database marketing. He's been a fixture at CRM and direct marketing conferences for as long I've been attending. I've known him for 15+ years, and when I got laid off, he was the first recruiter I called. Not only is he a great recruiter with the highest ethical standards, but he's a wonderful friend as well.
