I wanted to send you this note to personally thank you for your excellent results over the past 5 years. To date The Nantais Group has placed 34 key managers for Lear Seating Systems Division.

The reasons why you have been so successful is your high level of professionalism; your tireless efforts; and a real knack for determining our organization's requirements. I really appreciate how consistent your recruiting process yields excellent candidates. The Nantais Group is one of the very few search firms that prescreening candidates is unnecessary. I know when you are ready to recommend you top candidates they truly are top notch.

Vice President, Human Resources

Because you had conducted successful searches for some of the best talent at Perceptron you were selected to conduct the search for our Chief Financial Officer- a key executive position. Competition was considered, but your past performance spoke loudly.

This was a very difficult search for several reasons: First, we sought to satisfy a large collection of company officers and members of the board of directors, each of whom added something to the candidate spec. list. Second, we were looking for a fully experienced candidate. And finally, Perceptron's transitional phase in its growth strategy meant that you had to develop a thorough understanding of our situation to enable you to help potential candidates appreciate the attractiveness of the opportunity.

These challenges translated into a long, arduous search process. However, the delays were ours, nor yours. When the dust settled, we hired the first candidate you presented to us! All involved are very satisfied with the results. But because I was the "point person" on the search, I also have reason to be very satisfied with the process. Your patience and persistence were tested as we worked in tandem through the difficult search. Your good humor throughout the effort helped keep things moving forward in a positive way.

The systematic process that The Nantais Group follows has a real focus of identifying target companies and key objectives during the upfront phases of the search that has set them apart from other recruitment firms that I have used in the last 25 years in Human Resources. They are extremely responsive and customer focused in providing outstanding candidates to ensure meeting business objectives in a timely way. I would recommend The Nantais Group for any retained recruiting search needs you may have.

Brent J. Kearns
Vice President, Human Resources

Tom Nantais and I have worked together over the last ten years in a variety of searches ranging from sales and technology through the level of Directors of Sales and Director of Technology. In each and every case, Tom has demonstrates consistent and effective results. He has a process, which I find invaluable in attracting, interviewing, and selecting the best people for the position.

Tom has always presented only top-notch candidates. He has an excellent track record in overcoming the challenges of closing the top performers who are normally not actively seeking a job change.

Tom has the experience, ability and the professionalism to make things happen, on time, and within the expectations established. He makes recruiting a solid business experience for all involved. He is my first and last call in recruiting.

Your efforts resulted in the ideal outcome of a retained search. Through your efforts my time was focused on interviewing only the best candidates. It's not often when everything goes perfectly, but this was definitely one of those instances. Thank you for exceeding my expectations.

Ronald L. Whaley
CFO / EVP

I am writing this letter to show my appreciation for the job you did in filling a position that frankly, we had almost given up hope in filling.Your systematic approach, the due diligence you put into this search in order to completely understand our needs and the professionalism you displayed during this process was outstanding. I was impressed with the way this search progressed and with the quality of the candidates from which we were able to select.

As you know from our previous conversations, our success rate with other agencies was rather dismal, and we were seriously floundering in our attempts to fill this extremely critical position. You delivered exactly what you promised us within the timeframe that we agreed to. We will undoubtedly use your services again in the future and would have no problem recommending you to others.

Kenneth M. Larsen
Country Manager

I just wanted to thank you personally for a very successful executive search. All of your candidates met the mark, and the most recent executive addition appears to have actually exceeded expectations. Well done!

To this day, I am impressed with the process you and your firm use to first understand the stated need, flesh out the true needs, somehow serve up many fully-employed, topnotch candidates, that meet the requirements, and then hone in on the best possible candidate.
