    I credit the success our company has had to the key employees we were able to hire through Mike's recruitment services. Mike worked to build a relationship with our executives - many of whom he placed over the years; he understands our culture, our management dynamics, and he has the ability to cultivate the value proposition needed to attract the people we want to hire.

    Mike forged a relationship with our company's key executives over twenty years ago. I believe our collective success was due, in large part, to the knowledge base Mike was able to build over time, understanding our company's culture, our management issues, and our growth strategy. I highly recommend Mike and his firm - he sets the standards for today's recruitment.
