"During
the course of my many discussions with Robert regarding
topics ranging from career-related matters to the
meaning of life, I have recognized that he shares many
of the same values that I bring to my career and family
life: integrity, candor, intellectual rigor, and a
commitment to service, quality, and client satisfaction
– all accompanied by a good sense of humor. His recorded
telephone greeting contains the phrase – spoken with
sincere emphasis – "I return all calls." This is a
metaphor for both his directness and his
conscientiousness in serving candidates and clients,
alike. As an executive search specialist, Robert’s most
important mission is to close deals. I’ve been
particularly struck, however, by the fact that in
arranging "marriages," Robert is a strategic player,
more concerned about successful matches yielding
long-term residual benefits to his clients than about
the short-term expediency of earning a one-time fee. In
my case, the fit was perfect and Robert can be credited
with cleverly connecting his knowledge of my personal
goals with his special insights on a need faced by his
client. In summary, I would recommend him highly to
candidates seeking a career change or clients searching
people with strong skills and congruent goals." |
