Testimonials
"...The hiring process using Sanford Rose Associates - Del Mar was a markedly different and very positive experience compared to many of the previous search firms we have employed on a recent particularly difficult search. I would not hesistate to recommend the team at SRA - Del Mar to others."
-Michael Wahl, VP Engine Systems Analysis Achates Power
"We worked for the first time with David Felker from Sanford Rose Associates for the search of our new CEO for our US operations. We were very positively surprised about the outstanding professional management of the search before, during and after the selection. We found an excellent executive amongst a broad list of suitable candidates. We were so satisfied that we hired Sanford Rose immediately afterwards for the next search on VP level for the company. We can highly recommend Sanford Rose for top level executive search."
-Heiner Hoppmann, Managing Director Technical Operations, Merckle Ratiopharm Group Ulm, Germany
"Sanford Rose works very hard to make sure they know their client, and the position requirements. Their attention to detail, thoroughness, and high ethical standards sets them apart from most other firms."
-Robert Jones, Vice President Human Resources Somaxon Pharmaceuticals
"Sanford Rose is a World Class recruitment firm. They are World Class because of the up front work that they do (both in terms of the company itself and the position being filled, but the candidates as well), their attention to details, their honesty and integrity, their genuine care for the whole process including recruit and client, as well as their follow-up during the recruitment phase, interviews and post hiring. The Sanford Rose staff is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. When recruits are presented, we are the least concerned regarding their credentials, fit and abilities - as the detailed reviews have already been completed by Sanford Rose. We have utilized Sanford Rose for our recruiting needs in the past and fully intend to partner with them in the future"
-Stuart S. Daley, Vice President - Operations, Quality and Engineering, Kerry Sweet Ingredients Kerry Group PLC
"David Felker and the team at Sanford Rose provided outstanding support to me on two critical searches last year – one for a technical director (California) and the other for a plant manager (Georgia). I have worked with many recruiters over the years. It was a pleasure to finally work with people who approached their assignments as partners in the process rather than as just service providers. David and his team are consummate professionals. Their initiative, commitment, responsiveness, and integrity stand out. They are pleasure to work with.
David Felker directed our first search. I was so pleased with David, the Sanford Rose process, and the result that I didn’t hesitate to call David again for my next critical hiring need. David brings tremendous value through his strong technical, manufacturing, and senior management background, his keen intellect, and engaging interpersonal style. David quickly grasped my company’s needs, worked closely with me in focusing our searches, offered critical insights, and served as a valued advisor. David’s aim isn’t just to fill a position but to see that the best possible fit is achieved. To that extent, David was fully involved and available – to me and the recruits – throughout the searches. And, he has stayed in touch following each search to be sure things worked out as expected.
I am sold on the Sanford Rose search process. It is responsive, timely, and meticulous. Only pre-screened and qualified candidates were presented for my review. Resumes, interview summaries, and references were all documented. They were well written and uniformly formatted allowing me to get a quick and complete picture of each candidate.
When my next key hiring need comes up, there is no question who I will call."
