"BSG
did and outstanding job in helping us find our Vice President
of Sales. This position was a mission critical, do-or-die assignment
for us and your services were worth every penny. Despite a large
number of candidates in the market it took us 6 months to fill
and your team stayed with us lockstep every day with
energy and resources that enabled us to continue to run the
company and recruit at a high level. Without BSG we never would
have been able to identify, recruit and integrate the level
of candidate we did. But best of all BSG actually helped educate
us on how successful recruiting can and should work. Thank you
for all your time and personal attention to us."
Seth Lieberman, Chief Executive
Officer, Focalex, Inc.
Vice President of Sales search |
"The
up-front work you conducted to understand this position, our
industry and our culture was phenomenal, heads and shoulders
above all other search firms I've ever worked with and
I've been involved in well over 100 searches in my career.
And all that up-front work paid off because we now have the
perfect VP and President in here."

“BSG’s level of commitment to getting the right candidate and not just closing the search was much appreciated.”

"We
were creating an entirely new division for Fidelity. We honestly
didn't know where or what this position would be in 2
years or even in 6 months! We'd gone thru our traditional
recruiting channels without any luck. When we turned to BSG,
you quickly understood the management talent we needed and delivered
fantastic candidates; the VP candidate we hired has been excellent."

"The
kick-off process for our VP search was very thorough. It was
immediately obvious that BSG had completed searches in this
field before. The BSG Recruiting Team asked all the right questions
and quickly moved us into action mode. No time was wasted. Target
companies were identified without delays. The insight into our
company that BSG acquired from the internal interviews clearly
helped identify our ideal candidate - fast!"

| "Most
search firms say they pay attention to understand the fit and
culture, and make some attempt to do so, but BSG really did
demonstrate loads more effort than we’ve seen with other
firms. Even after the placements were made, the principles
from BSG have kept in touch - sent interesting articles, helped
with introductions- just done what they can to help us out;
I’d say this demonstrates a real interest in the success
of our business organization."

"People
make the difference in my business. Recruiting is not only about
finding good people but insuring that the person you hire is
going to succeed. BSG does more than just surface candidates,
they work in partnership as an extension of my own management
team in helping define roles and assessing a candidate's fit
with both the objectives of the job and the company's culture.
I measure success by not only the actual hiring of a candidate
but on how well they perform as well as how long they stay with
the company. To that end, BSG has been quite amazing in helping
me insure that we hire the Correct person."
Roger Gallo, Uniform Information

"As
CEO of a start-up still in the lean and mean mode, the value
of a recruiter was definitely not apparent nor high on my priority-spending
list. Not only was I skeptical about the price, I was skeptical
about the value of the service at all. I can report that I received
prompt, courteous, humorous, candid, timely, and generally excellent
service from BSG. I think we asked for a candidate that was
out-of-the-ordinary (how many guys with car rental experience
can they have looked for in the past?), but they quickly turned
up excellent candidates. I particularly valued the effort placed
on getting to understand our culture, my (and others on our
team) mind-set and biases. I also really valued the conservative
use of my time: I got a great VP of Operations and it was so
easy (at least from my perspective!)."

"I
manage a VC fund, and one of my portfolio companies engaged
BSG for two senior searches. These were the best searches I've
experienced in many years. BSG is much more than a search firm;
they view themselves as partners helping you solve a business
problem. They do much more than write a spec based upon industry
convention; they relentlessly drive to understand the critical
functional and personal skills, constituency priorities and
corporate culture to make sure you get the best fit candidates.
And they do much more than send you candidates; they have a
very disciplined approach to managing the process to make sure
everything proceeds smoothly and efficiently. They are responsive,
client-focused and service-oriented, and I recommend them very
highly."
