You have been very responsive to our requirements for identifying the 1A-type of candidates we have required and in "closing the deal" to actually get them here. Your willingness to develop an in-depth understanding of our position requirements, industry drivers, and company culture has been a very positive contributor to this success. Your persistence has been consistent throughout this fairly arduous search process.

Tim Christy
Manager, Sales Force Effectiveness

I received many phone calls from new recruiters each month offering their services to our company. My first reaction was that TNG was just another recruiter with grand promises. I am pleased to indicate that the WNA experience was even more positive than what you represented during our initial conversation.

You did an excellent job probing for the exact WNA position requirements, searching key target companies for qualified candidates, and researching and sorting prospects in order to make sure that only ideal applicants were put forward for my consideration. The tough part of the process was selecting from the highly qualified choices that you provided me.

Russell J. Greer
Executive Vice President

Just a quick note to say thank you for your outstanding efforts filling two, in my opinion, difficult positions. You successfully attracted three excellent candidates for Algonquin Scientific, a start-up company: two of the three candidates were senior people from Algonquin's direct competitor. Keep up the great work!

J.R. Alexander
Chairman

Thank you for your exceptional performance in recruiting world-class talent for critical positions within our GE Global Power Plant Systems Department.

Your understanding of the Power Industry along with you persistence and knowledge of the position qualifications and values we require were instrumental in hiring top talent into our organization. Thank you again for your excellent performance and results-oriented approach.

Robert A. Choquette
Manager, Contracts & Project Support

Prior to our engagement with The Nantais Group, we struggled to find a complete pool of candidates to make us feel like we were conducting a comprehensive search for this very critical hire. You once again brought a very efficient and professional approach to the recruiting process and delivered the right individual for Roush.

Dean Massab
Vice President

I have been working with Tom Nantais for several months now and have successfully filled several positions within my organization. The success of Tom's efforts are demonstrated in the concern he takes to truly understand our needs and match candidates to our organization that have the skills and professional attitude that we require.

Tom's approach to dealing with us is a refreshing change from other placement firms that I have dealt with in the past, and our organization is looking forward to a very successful relationship.

Gene S. Spear
Operations Manager

He has always provided top quality talent within the plastics industry as well as related industries. He has worked to clarify the goals/objectives of our business for the most effective presentation of AlliedSignal and for qualifying the candidate. He has tenacious follow up and is adaptable in his approach to changing situations. He is thorough in supplying reference checks on the final candidate selection.

Tom is a solid professional in this business who makes commitments and lives up to them. We plan to continue using his services and expanding his role in our recruiting needs.

Ronald R. Hornack
Automotive Industry Manager

I want to thank you for the excellent results following a very difficult recruiting endeavor. We knew the challenge we were asking of you was significant. You and your team not only met the challenge but exceeded it greatly. The quality of candidates you brought forward caused us to create a new position because we simply had too many good choices and didn’t want to pass on persons of such high caliber.

Your quick understanding of the position and the required skill sets for a successful candidate was impressive. Your professionalism and level of communication to all parties throughout the process was greatly appreciated. I was amazed at your ability to source top performers in our industry who weren’t even looking for a new career.

From our introductory discussions to the placement of the candidates it was a pleasure working with you. I know without your help we would still be struggling and would probably never have found the new PPG employees you were able to produce. It’s clear to me why PPG continues to work with The Nantais Group.

Greg Sarnacki
Zone Manager, Commercial Coatings

I would say that our association has been a true, long-term business partnership. My experience with other recruiters has shown that many of them will send you anyone just for the short-term gain. Anyone considering your services will be happy to know that they will be working with one of the best recruiters in the industry.

Donald LeFlamme
East Coast Regional Sales Manager

I wanted to express my appreciation for the excellent response and service you provided in our recent search for a talented and dynamic sales representative in the Detroit area. The quality of all the candidates you sent to me far exceeded that of the candidates found through our more traditional means.

Jacalyn J. Ziehm
Regional Sales Manager

I've worked with many search firms in past and present, but none have a systematic process that delivers results the way your firm does. Your process is extremely thorough, and your response times are quick.

Richard Wong
Human Resources Manager

I wanted to thank you for your excellent performance in assisting with the recruiting efforts for GE Plastics in Detroit. We can be demanding in our request to find the very best people and have been very pleased with your effectiveness.

A clear indication of recruiting performance comes when our team interviews a slate of candidates for a job and we see your candidates consistently at the top of the list. We have been very pleased with your assessment of our needs and ability to deliver candidates that meet those needs. Keep up the great work!

Kip Nickel
General Manager, Automotive

Over the course of the past five months, Tom has met at length with many of our technical managers to ascertain our specific needs. Tom's demeanor has been very professional, and he has been committed in his search for suitable applicants for our needs. In fact, we have successfully hired several of his applicants for positions at Durr Industries and, so far, they are working out to both the applicant's and Durr's approval.

Walter Stevenson
Vice President - Operations

This was our first occasion to work with The Nantais Group and you personally. You have been professional and very responsive to our requirements for identifying top talent candidates, and insight to “closing the deal" to actually get them here. Your willingness to develop an in-depth understanding of our position requirements, industry drivers, and business unit culture has been a very positive contributor to this success. We have also appreciated your regular communications throughout the process.

Chris Faria
Director, Human Resources

The search was conducted in a very professional and efficient manner and, all candidates interviewed possessed the experience and qualifications we had previously discussed.As we worked through the several individuals we could have hired your energy and commitment remained strong. The individual we hired has now been with Painters Supply and Equipment Company several weeks and we continue to believe he will be very successful.

Walter H. Diersch
President

I want to express my appreciation for your assistance with our recent recruiting effort. You did an excellent job of assessing our requirements and presenting quality candidates for our consideration. The high caliber of people you presented is a reflection of your recruiting performance. After several months of searching with other recruiters, we hadn't found a suitable candidate. In contrast, your search provided a selection of four excellent candidates.

Geoff Ladell
Automotive Market Manager

Your aggressiveness and professionalism are impressive. I think that your success is in part due to the thorough screening process you take your candidates through. As I have helped interview for other managers in the building, I have never been disappointed with a candidate that you have recommended.

Dave von Behren
Director, Automotive OEM Team

In the short period of time after which you and I had the opportunity to discuss our needs and the profile of the individual that we were seeking to fill the vacancy in our organization, you were able to place in front of us a "who's who" of competent candidates within our industry. Each of these candidates had qualifications which met or exceeded the profile which we established with you at the start of our search.

I also sincerely appreciated the professional approach you took to confidentially carry out this search, this was a point that many of the candidates themselves expressed to me during some of the interviews which culminated our activities. Being able to reach you at my convenience, literally at all hours of the day either at your office or in the evening at your home, also was certainly very appreciated in light of my personal schedule. As we progress further into developing our business and identify additional personnel needed to further our success, I'm certain we will be looking to your services once again.

Kevin T. Dunn
General Manager

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help in our search for a Plant Manager. Although our specific position requirements in terms of qualifications and experience were limiting, you were able to locate a number of potential candidates from which we were able to make an eventual selection.

Alan D. Buffet
Director, U.S. Operations

The performance of Tom during the search was very satisfactory and proficient. I was pleased with the response time and thoroughness of his efforts. Mr. Nantais will be contacted for any future searches I require.

Raymond F. Schappert
Technical Manager

In less than one month from the time I started talking to Tom, we not only had interviewed candidates through him, we had hired one of them. I can say without reservation that my experience with Tom Nantais has been a very pleasurable.

Brett K. Schofield
Regional Sales Manager

We needed a number of professionals, experienced in the field of environmental air testing, as quickly as possible. You were able to develop a solid understanding of the position requirements, as well as the industry as a whole. As a result, you brought us candidates, which met or exceeded our expectations.

Your success can be credited to your persistence, professionalism and good humor in dealing with our schedule and time constraints. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Kathi McKinley
Human Resources Manager

Thank you for all your help in successfully recruiting a quality individual for a very rare technical position. As usual, you do a great job of assessing the market for candidates who match our open positions, and screen out any candidates who do not meet our needs. This keeps our workload for in-house managers down so that they only need to interview candidates who could effectively fill the role.

I believe this makes Candidate #8 or #9 that you have now successfully recruited for me, all with different technical and managerial expertise. Thanks for providing a quality-focused product that I can always count on.

John L. Vanderhoef
Chief Executive Officer

We found Tom to be responsive to our needs, professional in his approach, and diligent in his search for a qualified candidate. I am very pleased with the business experience.

Mark G. Medick
District Sales Manager

Over the last several years, I have had the opportunity to work with Tom Nantais, of The Nantais Group, a professional recruitment firm, on several successful placements within our or ganization. Mr. Nantais consistently demonstrates a superior level of competency in the field of professional placement. He has done as excellent job in identifying our requirements for the positions and his expertise in placing qualified candidates for these positions is excellent and has met all our needs.

Clifford D. Nastas
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

Tom has provided top quality talent within the plastics industry and excellent service. His ability to screen many potential candidates and then recommend several of the most qualified candidates for interviews was beneficial to me since I was involved in filling positions in Michigan while being based in New Jersey. Also of value is his presentation of AlliedSignal to candidates and the thorough references he provides for the final candidate.

Tom is an established professional in the recruitment business who meets time commitments which are established at the initiation of a search. I plan to work with Tom as an integral part of future recruitment needs in the Michigan area.

Thomas J. Krolick
Supervisor, Injection Molding Technology

I wish to thank you personally (and on behalf of Swift Adhesives) for your efforts in helping us fill our needs for an Automotive Market Manager. The position was certainly a very difficult one to fill, given our requirements, yet you presented very qualified candidates which allowed us to feel we had selected the very best individual available.

Thomas A. Walsh
Vice President & General Manager

Thank you for your sense of urgency and attention to detail. You have allowed me to build a much stronger team. I will continue to place a high priority on hiring the best available people, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Kevin T. Andrews
Region Marketing Director

In the search and placement of a sales representative for USPCI, Tom Nantais' performance was exactly as promised and expected. His candidates were polished, poise and met all or exceeded the characteristics I require for a sales representative, yet still within our company's compensation guidelines. Tom's follow through is thorough and professional, yet he is an easy and friendly person to deal with. I would not hesitate to use Tom again should I need recruitment assistance again.

Kent Rothlisberger
Midwest Regional Sales Manager

Let me use this opportunity to thank you for doing your homework up front to determine the assets and skills we needed for this position. That thoroughness is obviously what led to success. As the needs arise, be assured I will call for your services.

Gene Matthews
Director, Strategic Market Planning

I'd like to especially provide my thanks for the wonderful job you did for us on this challenging project. You listened to our requirements and us before you began the search. Most importantly, you heard exactly what we were after. Then you tenaciously began a search that must have been very frustrating for you. But most importantly you succeeded in identifying several candidates. Since we could only choose one at the time our decision was tough. I thank you for making that decision so tough. It's exactly the position we would want to be in when adding a new member to our sales force!

Rhex A. Edwards
Director of Sales

Your strong efforts to understand the requirements of the open positions, the products that we make, and the site and company cultures have allowed you to quickly identify the best candidates with the most related experience for the positions. During this process, we have pursued several options for finding perspective candidates, but your process consistently yielded the best people with the right experience and room for growth.

Herbert T. Nock
Product General Manager, Nuovo Pignone Business Center

Tom Nantais did and outstanding job recruiting and placing a sales representative for me. Tom made sure he had a thorough understanding of what we were looking for in a candidate, and presented only those that had been screened. His attention to detail in setting up and coordinating phone and face-to-face interviews was a major benefit to me.

David Butts
Regional Sales Manager

Brian McDonald
Director of Engineering, Sourcing & E-Business

This was my first occasion/opportunity to work with The Nantais Group. You were both professional and very responsive to our requirements for identifying top talent candidates. I believe your understanding and past experience within our industry, was the key contributor to this success.

Scott B. Bastian
Manager of Engineered and Pretreatment Products

Mr. Nantais consistently demonstrates a superior level of competency in the field of professional placement and provides a high level of service. He has developed a systematic recruiting strategy and applies it to our organization appropriately. He is well versed in the needs of our Company and its cultures, philosophies, and key positions. His expertise plays a critical role in closing the search in the areas of coordination and follow up. In addition, Mr. Nantais possesses the valuable ability of successfully networking with the decision-makers of the organization.

Mr. Nantais is a colleague I can recommend with complete confidence.

Patrick R. Carr
Director of Human Resources, Seating Systems Division

We have been extremely satisfied with the high caliber of services provided by Tom. He has always identified qualified candidates, meeting our specifications in a fast, responsive, and professional manner.

Debra J. Adkisson
Director, Human Resources, Automotive/Decorative Film Division

Your effort in the search to identify candidates in Tennessee was very thorough and professional. This was a very difficult position to fill. The high standard that we set both technically and commercially increased the difficulty but you succeeded in identifying candidates nonetheless. Your understanding of the GE culture and our standards was consistently on the mark.

William R. Schlich
Technology Manager, Southeast Region
