“Steve’s first email to me about the caliber of candidates was compelling enough for me to schedule a first call. I appreciated his candor, his experience and how he understood the needs of our business and profile type we were looking for. His commitment to quality and relationship was obvious, and appreciated it was not only for employers but the candidates he and his team work with. Steve and his team do a great job of finding candidates based on the profile of “now”. He has a keen sense of understanding the profile of what we need and so I am always confident the candidates he puts in front of us have been vetted and are a great match for what we require. He has placed some of our most successful employees who not only fit the mold for performance but a cultural fit which is key as you are growing a company. I am extremely happy with the quality of the team surfaced from Steve. His willingness to be flexible for the journey of a startup has been a no- brainer to continue to partner together. I knew while we were building out the team not only would I work with him for our first hire, but as we start to go into rapid growth SER will be our firm of choice for all our hiring needs as we build out Sales & Marketing.”

“I have been a client of Steve’s since 2010 and he helped me fill out rosters at a few companies since then. He knows how to recognize talent, he hustles, he keeps me in the loop, and he can quickly find qualified candidates. He knows how to build and maintain top talent in a hurry, and that makes a huge difference. Even if a person is not necessarily looking to change jobs, Steve is able to convince the person to consider a better opportunity. As someone with a background in Sales, he is also excellent at recognizing different types of selling situations, and which skill sets they require. He never wastes anyone’s time. A lot of people he placed have stayed with those companies for years.”

“Steve filled multiple positions for me and really helped build my East Coast business. His candidates were all of a very high quality. For instance, there was a sales engineer position that is a very challenging position to hire for. The kind of candidates he brought were very accurate for what I was looking for, and definitely aligned with what I needed. He has a very good understanding of filtering the right people. He is also about quality above quantity.”

“I have worked with Steve for about 10 years and sought him out due to his strong connections in our industry. Whenever I have the need to fill a position, I contact him because he is able to find people who are not even looking for a new job, sell them on the company, and get a first meeting set up. He brings in top performers, and really understands the profiles I’m asking him to find. He’s quite methodical, and I always have good experiences with him.”
