We couldn't have said it BETTER ourselves!
My experience in working with you has been great! I have never been disappointed. You’re worth every dollar, I mean it... you really provide an outstanding service. The in-depth questions you ask me before you kick off each project show how much you care. I had never experienced that in the past with an executive search firm.
Chief Operating Officer / Commercial Vehicle Industry
R.I.C. brings so much expertise to the table. Your clients should be very proud of your association with them. My experience with you and your team has been phenomenal. Thanks for all your support.
Chief Information Officer, North America / Fortune 750, Multi-Location, Food & Beverage
Feedback from everyone has been very positive. What is particularly noteworthy is the level of commitment that you have displayed to support our team and organization. I really do not think we would receive or could expect to receive this type of support and commitment from any other organization charged with the same responsibility. You have demonstrated a great willingness to go above and beyond.
Division President / Fortune 500, Multi-Location Retailer
All four candidates were excellent and, by the way, each of them told me during the interview that they had never dealt with a firm like R.I.C. who conveyed our story with such passion.
Chief Information Officer / FORTUNE 1000, Logistics-Supply Chain Company
I’ve heard horror stories about using a retained executive search firm for a non-profit search. You were the complete opposite of everything I feared. You presented four candidates and I could have hired any one of them. They were all that good.
Executive Director / Large Nationwide Non-Profit
I received your email this morning and I first want to compliment you on an extremely well-crafted and intriguing introduction to the opportunity and the company. How can I not be interested in learning more after reading what you sent?! I look forward to next steps.
Executive Candidate / Vice President Information Technology role
I will always fall back on what you and your fine enterprise has to offer. The choices for quality folks like you and your team are few indeed.
President / Fortune 500, High-Tech Company
During my many years at the company, you were great to work with, always successful on our searches and you consistently brought high energy while representing the company well.
General Counsel, CHRO / Fortune 250 Automotive Retailer
I wanted to tell you that in 15 years in and around Human Resources and Talent Aquisition, I've never seen a job spec as engaging as the one you created for our role. Whoever wrote this really made it stand out!
Group Director, HR / Fortune 50 Company
I have to say, I have received many job opportunities sent to me in my career but I have never seen one like this! You should have no issues attracting candidates with such an engaging job profile like this. Very well done.
Executive Candidate / Vice President Operations role
Jason, thank you so much for your support and help throughout the past few years. You and your team have come through for us over and over again.
Senior Vice President / Automotive Retail
You and your team made this entire process so easy! Every aspect of the search was perfectly done. You responded quickly with excellent candidates and each one of them was equally impressive. Thank you for representing our brand with pride.
Senior Vice President / Top 5 Health System
Search firms like yours do not exist. Your level of follow through every step of the way has been beyond impressive! It's no wonder why so much of your business is from referrals; that's how we found you and now it's obvious why you were referred. Thank you again!
Senior Vice President, Operations / Top 5 Defense/Aerospace Contractor
This was the most positive experience I have had with a search firm. You are so thorough and so professional. You made the entire process so easy. I'm excited about our next opportunity to do business together.
Vice President, Operations / Fortune 500, Speciality Retailer
Jason, you and your team were amazing and by far, the classiest and most professional of all the search groups that I have dealt with in my career. I have nothing but appreciation and respect for you. Thank you for your partnership.
