I have had the privilege of working with Advantage Partners on both sides of the desk the last couple of years. About 2.5 years ago Advantage Partners contacted me about an opportunity to lead a new venture with a Private Equity group in Chicago. Although they had been contracted by the Private Equity group to find the new President and CEO for this new company, they treated me just as much as a client, as their paying client. They provided me all the pertinent information on the Private Equity group and the new company. They arranged the interviews and put me in contact with all of the key decision makers and helped get all of my questions answered. The Advantage Partner’s team was incredible to work with and due to their efforts I was able to make an informed decision in taking the position that was offered to me. I have worked with several executive recruiters over the years and this was the best experience I have had as a candidate.
The recruiting process was a success and I was hired as the President and CEO of this new start-up venture and immediately turned to Advantage Partners to manage the searches for my executive staff. Again, they did an incredible job of understanding the requirements of the positions and listening to what we felt were the key attributes and experiences for the executives we were seeking to hire. Through their intensive search process they uncovered more than a hundred potential candidates for the new positions, providing us weekly updates on progress. Using their excellent methodology, they fully vetted each candidate they had uncovered and provided us the best talent in the industry to select from. The Advantage Partners staff then arranged all the interviews and provided us good quality feedback from the candidates. They effectively listened to our feedback on the candidates and together we were able to select the best executives for the positions.
I highly recommend Advantage Partners as an executive recruiting firm. The Advantage Partners Team delivers and has the best process I have seen in the industry. I will definitely turn to them for all of my recruitment needs in the future.
