-Corporate Director, Inbound Transportation, Grocery Retailer

"I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your support with securing the Vice President position with ______. I would like to identify the outstanding work by Chris Purcell, Stacy Rini and Laura Sommer. During the time I was working with Purcell International on this opening I was also working with two other large executive firms for positions. It was the attention to detail, clear updates, and professional guidance that clearly set you apart from the others. I was not treated as just another applicant, but was made to feel important and how my skills aligned with the client. It was very helpful to have your input, your company has a strong understanding of the client company and the needs regarding the position. The process was world class and ran very smooth. I appreciate your guidance during this time. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a firm to help secure talent to contact Purcell International Group"

"Just a note of thanks for your help in securing my role with ___________. I appreciate the approach taken to help me identify and focus on what I was looking for both from a role perspective and as it relates to the corporate culture. The team worked to get to know me as an individual and to validate that the role, organization, and leadership styles would be compatible. Throughout the process the level of communication, insight, and feedback provided were excellent and demonstrated a high level of engagement with me and the client. They outlined the timelines, process, and expectations for each step and an overview of the internal hiring process. I had a great deal in insight into each of the parties involved in the interview process, their perspectives, objectives, and expectations of the role. Once selected Chris was instrumental in simplifying the negotiation process and provided access to key resources within the organization to provide additional local information to support my final decision."

"Hi Dan, hope things are going well for you. All of your placements seem to be doing well, so thanks for helping source this really strong and talented group over the last several years and I want to personally thank you for this. As a side note, earlier this year I firmed up my plans and last Friday my retirement from the _________ Company was announced internally. From about 2005 until 2013 I was heading up the corporate Engineering group as VP of Global Engineering. In 2013 was named as VP, US Supply Chain and have been in that role since. This role included planning, manufacturing, engineering, contract Mfg., etc. for the US. I’ll be here at __________ for the rest of the year heading up the international Supply Chain team and transitioning the US to my replacement who you know. Anyway, just a quick update. Thanks Dan. Keep in touch."

Rhonda,
As I transition out of my currently role to start my new position as Director of Operations on Monday, I wanted to take a moment to say Thank you!! You and you staff are world class when it comes to professionalism, integrity, attention to detail, executing acquisitions and one characteristic that really hit home with me, you care! Personal life happens regardless of the circumstances. With the scenario my family and I encountered while trying to advance my career it becomes very clear that family is priority and work is second in line. You were with me every step of the way and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I felt it in your voice when you spoke to me about your understanding the weight this life hurdle comes with. You said "Embrace it". One comment you said to me that I can truly tell you helped me through this. Well I embraced it and I feel good with where I am today.
Thanks to you I start the next chapter in my life and this too....... I will embrace!!!
Thank you for everything!!
Warmest Regards,

-Plant Manager, Consumer Products Manufacturer

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Purcell International, in particular Mark Ceccanese, for helping in acquire the Operations Manager position. I have felt that your organization has been more than a job recruiting firm since the first time I was interviewed by Mike Davis 15 years ago in preparation for my job interview with ______. Then again when you placed me with _______ ten years later. Both have been great companies to work for. Now I look forward to work with yet one more great company. Mike Davis, Rudy Ybarra, and Mark Ceccanese have always been available to me for their invaluable advice. I consider Purcell International my personal career partner. If I am ever in the position to hire professional positions, I will certainly look to hire quality candidates from Purcell International. Thank you again and look forward in continuing our partnership."

-Warehouse Manager, Medical Supply Manufacturer

"Cannot thank you enough for your help on the confidential search as it was a tough one. Thank you Dan!!"

-Corporate Recruiter, Pet Supply Company

"I am writing to you because I would like to recognize one of your outstanding employees. Let me start by letting you know that I applied for a position which I was over qualified. Rudy Ybarra immediately gave me a call and reviewed with me my resume, he convinced me to apply for a Logistic Manager position which was more in line with what my previous job outlined. Rudy additionally walked me through each of the three interviews I had ahead of time and thoroughly followed up after each of the interviews. I recall one Friday afternoon calling Rudy and leaving a voice mail telling him how my second interview went. I did not expect to hear back from him until Monday, however Rudy call me the same day at 7 p.m. letting me know that he had received my voice mail and would follow up Monday with the interviewer to find out who I did. To say that my experience with Rudy professionalism, follow up and results are outstanding is an understatement. Please take the time to recognize him for me. I hope he has a long career with your company!"

-Logistics Manager, Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories company

"I have to admit that Rudy persuaded me to talk to a company when I was not willing initially. The posted position was well below what I was looking for. Fortunately, I listened to him and the company did create a new position more in line with what I was looking for. I will pass on names of other people who might be looking for a change in the future. Thanks!"

-Engineering Manager, Plumbing Supply Manufacturer

"I want to take this time to thank you and your group for your persistent efforts in helping change my career. For approximately the last year, the search for a new and better opportunity has taken place. Though several recruiters offered me many opportunities for employment, none of them worked as hard and consistently as Purcell International Group. Dan Massara and Chris Purcell were key in making sure the right opportunity presented itself. They both were very good listeners, communicators and representatives of my career goals and aspirations. Over the last four months, my time with Chris has been very positive and any future assistance or referrals in the recruiting arena will be channeled only through Purcell International Group. Chris kept me abreast of my status; he gave me constant feedback after every interview, and became a friend through the entire process. Because of the detailed professional process that Dan and Chris put me through, I feel more confident entering a new company and position. We all know that those waters can be very choppy and nerve wrecking; they can easily affect one’s performance. I have no fear of this, thanks to all of you."

"Dear Frank, I wanted to thank your company and specifically Dan Massara for assisting me in securing the opportunity of Sr. Operation Manager with __________. I have communicated with Dan on a few occasions during my career; however this is the first placement I have accepted with his support. Dan is always professional, responsive and provides great feedback from the hiring party as well as providing insight about the company and specifics on the position that is available. I will continue to forward any referrals to Purcell International Group through Dan, as I am confident that he will provide any referrals with the professional guidance and support he has provided to me. Regards,"

"There has never been a time when I have felt more comforted and confident in a professional and a person than I have been with Rhonda Halpern. In a transition that can be uncertain and one can waver I was never given the inclination to look backwards. Rhonda's overwhelming honesty, positivity and ability to connect with an individual is like none other; these traits have left me with so much fulfillment, excitement and dedication to the journey ahead of me. To have the Purcell Group be represented by such talent is a testament to the reputable company you are and that she continues to create. I can say without a doubt that my next steps with _____________ will be the best yet, not only for the great company and personnel it possesses, but for the fact that Rhonda has been and will be a part of my continued journey.
