During a job search seven years ago, I became reacquainted with Advantage Partners who ultimately placed me in a perfect private equity situation that became the springboard for my mid-life career. Over the course of the following six years, I used Advantage Partners as an extension to our Human Resource Department. Advantage Partners consulted with me in a very unbiased and non-self-serving way to help me strengthen my senior management team. With the hires we made, exclusively from Advantage Partners, I was successful in growing our revenues seven times and our income 10 times from the performance level when I was initially hired.

The key to Advantage Partners’ success is their constant attention to detail with their recruits and clients. I have NEVER received that attention from any other search firm.
