APPLICANT REMARKS


Richard Stanley International Business Systems Manager Thomas & Betts Corporation Memphis, TN	"Working with Executive Directions to get my new job was a breeze. My new employer was located 1,000 miles from where I lived, and Executive Directions, Inc. handled all of the details from setting up a video conference interview in my home state to providing me with information on my new company and community so that I could be sure I was making the right decision. They provided me with the background I needed on the position I was interviewing for and the people I was interviewing with, making me completely at ease and giving me the ability to really focus on presenting myself to my new employer."

Craig Cornell Business Systems Manager Electronics/OEM Group Thomas & Betts Corporation Memphis, TN	"During my transition from management consulting to an industry role, I was presented with an opportunity by Executive Directions to consider an industry opportunity at Thomas & Betts Corporation. The staff at Executive Directions was a pleasure to work with; it was thorough, responsive, and supportive throughout the process, and facilitated a good transition from one role to another."

Holly B. Valkama General Manager Professional Electronics Division Thomas & Betts Corporation Memphis, TN	"Through Executive Directions I received this opportunity as General Manager at Thomas & Betts. Executive Directions, Inc. differentiated itself from other executive recruitment firms during this process. They helped place me in a position that was not actively open at the time. Through their detailed knowledge of its corporate client and the skill set gleaned from my resume, they saw a fit and went about interesting Thomas & Betts in finding a way to bring me into the corporation. This type of initiative and knowledge of the corporate client was unique in my job search experience. During the interviewing process the professionals at Executive Directions Inc. were instrumental in guiding me through issues and obtaining timely feedback. At all times I felt that they had my interests as a priority, which I again found unique amongst executive recruitment firms."

Vadim L. Radunsky Director of Operations C & K Components, Inc. Newton, MA	"I enjoyed working with Executive Directions, Inc. in both roles, as a job applicant as well as a hiring manager. They helped me in obtaining a challenging and rewarding position with an industry leader and ensured my success with the new organization by finding and recruiting experienced and motivated professionals for my management team. I recommend Executive Directions to the employers and job seekers who are serious about their future growth and believe in the power of an individual to make a difference."

Mike Yashin Director of Engineering ITT Cannon	"Even though I was not actively looking for a new job, Executive Directions, Inc., clearly saw a potential great fit between my experience/skill sets and a new challenging opportunity. Executive Directions worked very hard at setting up discreet interviews not only during the weekend, but also during 'after work' hours also, so that the confidentiality remained totally intact during this process. This allowed me the time to gather all the pertinent information about this new opportunity, and to make an objective decision ON MY OWN, without feeling pressured either way. I'm very pleased at the decision I've made, and I look forward to starting my new career."

John P. Montigny Vice President Marketing Bacou USA	"At the time Executive Directions contacted me I was not actively seeking a new position. They brought a great opportunity to me that fit my very narrow geographic preferences as well as my desire for personal and professional growth. In my personal experience most executive search firms bring you together with an opportunity and then have a cursory role throughout the remainder of the process. This was not the case with Executive Directions. They were professional, responsive, and objective and played the role of intermediary better than any firm I have encountered in the industry. Executive Directions stayed involved, at a very high level, throughout the interview and negotiation phase and were in constant contact with me right up to my first day of employment at my new position. In something as important as your career growth it is crucial to have a firm with the knowledge and resources that can best leverage your background and experience into a new, optimized position. Even more importantly you must have a firm that takes your career move as seriously as you do. Executive Directions delivered for me in both areas."

Steve Bogle General Manager - K-Mart Distribution Bacou-Dalloz	"Working with Executive Directions to secure a new job with Bacou-Dalloz was an excellent experience. Executive Directions, Inc was right there during the entire interviewing process. Their professionalism, client knowledge, process dedication, and a genuine personal interest in me far surpasses the recruitment industry. Executive Directions, Inc. has executed and delivered in my desires for personal and professional growth."

David C. Macaluso Director of Operations Bacou-Dalloz, Survivair	"Working with Executive Directions Inc. was an exciting, informative and educational experience. The staff at Executive Directions is truly concerned with developing connections that satisfy the needs of both the hiring company and the candidate. This made the decision of accepting my offer of employment as Director of Operations an easy one. This is truly a professional organization that provides complete and accurate company information. Follow up and follow through is without a doubt, Best in Class. Most importantly, the professional advice and guidance that I received certainly helped me to make the best choice for my career advancement."
