I have been dealing with recruiting firms for the past 20 years of my career and have had mixed results at best. I met the professionals at Advantage Partners five years ago when I started my career in private equity and found that I had an immediate need to access several high-caliber senior executives to run the distressed portfolio companies for which I was responsible. Nikki Bondi and her team have proven to be highly effective at keenly assessing the needs of the key positions and matching people with the appropriate skill set, experience and fit. They approach each assignment efficiently, quickly and with the urgency reflective of the needs of the distressed situations with which I deal.
