JACK’S testimonials

Director, Talent Acquisition | Terminix

“Throughout the engagement, your team demonstrated a strong understanding of the market and brought forward a high-quality slate of candidates in a timely manner. We appreciated the balance of technical depth and leadership experience in the profiles presented.

The process was well-managed end-to-end, with clear communication, transparency, and a sense of urgency that aligned with our internal timeline due to the retirement of both incumbents. The candidate experience was also positive, which reflected well on our brand.

We’ve partnered with you on several executive searches, and the consistency of execution and quality has made you a trusted resource for these types of hires.”

Vice President, Human Resources & Assistant General Counsel | Emcor

“Jack led our Vice President of Taxation search and helped us secure the right candidate for the role. He paced the search efficiently, but didn’t rush us when we needed time internally to consider our priorities for the role or particular candidates. Jack presented us with a varied initial slate of candidates and effectively incorporated our feedback in developing a short list to advance to the interview process. We ultimately ended up in the ideal situation, where we had two very strong finalists, where we felt we could not go wrong with either.”

Vice President, Head of Taxation | Create Music Group

“Working with Jack on our Vice President of Taxation search was a great experience. He took the time to understand what we were looking for, introduced us to a broad range of high-quality candidates, and refined the search based on our feedback. He struck the right balance between maintaining momentum and giving us space to make considered decisions. Ultimately, we were fortunate to have two exceptional finalists and felt confident we couldn’t make a bad choice.”
