"Executive Directions doesn’t just fill a job spec, they personally get into the details of your products and services, the position requirements, and the operating style of the manager and co-workers. When we were seeking to fill a key position on our management team, a VP of Sales and Marketing, we retained Executive Directions. Their investment in this process produced a candidate slate that hit the mark the first time. In a relatively short time frame, we were faced with choosing between 3 very qualified candidates. Executive Directions takes responsibility for driving the entire recruiting process. In a real time crunch and while filling both roles myself, things became overwhelming; causing the search to become secondary. Executive Directions’ staff members hunted me down and forced me to get reengaged in order to focus on the sorely needed project at hand. It was a very successful search and I would recommend them highly in any key staffing challenge. " |

"Executive Directions has done an excellent job of providing qualified candidates specific to our hiring profile. Our time is very valuable - we prefer not to spend time with candidates that either lack the experience or are not suited to our culture. When we interview a candidate from Executive Directions, we know before the interview that we have a possible fit for our organization. All that remains is the concentrated interview process and the selection of the best candidate for the position." |

"As I told you on the phone the other day, working with Executive Directions, Inc. is like having an executive recruitment staff in house. Your attention to detail and personal involvement was exceptional. Additionally, I personally appreciated the professional manner in which you represented our company in the entire process, from specification development through final negotiations." |

"Executive Directions in their initial assignment was successful in finding two very talented individuals. We were seeking an Engineering Manager as well as a Vice President of Marketing & Product Development. Through a unique screening process we were able to see a number of candidates and ultimately hire the two individuals that we had hoped to find." |

"We were presented 2 excellent candidates within the first 30 days in a search for a new Vice President of Engineering position that we had contracted Executive Directions Inc. to conduct. We decided on one of these candidates and he has been a tremendous addition to our management team. Executive Directions Inc. have been an instrumental part of our staffing plans over the last 2 years and have assisted us in finding our Plant Manager, Quality Manager and several other key talents." |

"My Operations Organization at C&K Components, Inc. has used Executive Directions, Inc. during the past 9 months to conduct searches for three senior management positions in our Newton, MA facility. Each engagement has resulted in an excellent hire. What sets Executive Directions, Inc. apart from other agencies I have used is their speed to present qualified candidates to you. They are very thorough early on in the process to gain an understanding of the client's needs. They quickly finalize the job specification and establish target companies and industries to search for potential candidates. Initially one or two candidate resumes are presented within a week to test the completeness of their understanding of the requirements. Typically in a few more weeks four to five candidates are available for interviews. In each step of the process we were provided up to date written and oral documentation on their meetings with candidates, feedback and next step recommendations. This close attention to detail enabled us to quickly zero in on the best individual. It has been over eight months since our first hire through Executive Directions and we remain very pleased with the quality of the new employees. In fact one was recently promoted." |

"Executive Directions offers the total recruiting solution - their services here allowed HR to spend time interviewing qualified candidates rather than sorting through resumes and tracking down candidates. They have built and maintained strong relationships with our management team, which allows them to quickly and accurately identify qualified candidates. I like knowing that I can give them a job order and the end result is a qualified hire. At C&K, we consider Executive Directions part of the HR team!" |

"We retained Executive Directions, Inc. to search for a Sales and Marketing Manager for our small manufacturing company. Executive Directions, Inc. was obviously very experienced in doing this type of search. The staff was professional in their interaction with all parties. The person who we hired, through their efforts and my wise use of Executive Directions Inc.'s guidance, has made a large improvement in our company's sales and marketing efforts." |

"We have used Executive Directions during a search to fill a very senior General Management position. We found that Executive Directions was able to find several very attractive candidates after we had exhausted other, conventional means. Our Executive Directions account recruiter helped us define what we were looking for, and then worked diligently to find these candidates. I would definitely recommend Executive Directions for others who are looking for very senior level candidates. " |

"My experience with Executive Directions in our recent senior recruitment process was exemplary in every respect. Your immediate sense of determining the position requirements, opening urgency and professional fullfilment was impeccably administered. The professional study our industry to determine a broad slate of candidates that would meet our needs was very thorough and comprehensive. I am greatly appreciative of how you quickly blended in with our senior search team in selecting, interviewing and ultimately delivering our final candidate....and obviously now an employee." |

"Executive Directions has done an excellent job in successfully connecting qualified candidates with Bacou-Dalloz. All candidates presented to us were high quality individuals who met the criteria outlined. Executive Directions "did their homework" when screening candidates and thereby, saved us valuable time. Their attention to details is extraordinary and their followup is commendable. We would highly recommend Executive Directions for any future recruiting needs." |

"We were having great difficulties in finding qualified candidates for a key opening. The longer we recruited, the more we were adversely impacting the business by not filling the open position. After unsuccessfully trying three months, our corporate head of human resources suggested we contact Eric Greenstein of Executive Directions. Eric jumped in and through testing understood our requirements completely. Within three weeks, we were interviewing three final candidates. All candidates were excellent and much higher caliber than we had seen before. We selected our best finalist and he has proven to be a great fit and a valuable asset to our team. Eric can make good things happen fast! " |
