Patrick Koley
CFO at Molycop
Steve has been my recruiter of choice for many years. His track record of successful placements is outstanding. He is very skilled at gathering and interpreting the needs of his clients as well as the aspirations of candidates and matching the two of them. He understands the culture of his clients better than anyone else and selects candidates with culture fit in mind. Steve thinks outside the box and is creative in delivering excellent talent solutions. I have recommended him to many associates and friends of mine and he has never failed to exceed expectations. Steve is a proven performer and my first call for over a decade.
Two reasons to engage a search firm are to save valuable time and find top talent. Steve does this better than anyone else I’ve ever met. His vast network provides access to prospects I might otherwise not be able to reach, and his process is very easy and efficient. Steve only presents high-quality candidates, so his involvement always gives me comfort in knowing that we have hired the very best.
Steve is the best recruiter I have worked with, he stands out above the crowd where it counts, and that is integrity. Steve works hard to understand your needs, what you are looking for in a candidate, and is highly responsive. He will not place the wrong candidate just to get a placement, he makes sure it is the right fit even if it is a the expense of his bottom line, this kind of integrity that is hard to find in this day and age and is the reason why he is the only one I work with today and will the only one I work with in the future.
At a former company of mine Steve Getzfrid was responsible for us hiring ~90% of our entire accounting and finance team – from accountants to our controller; from treasury analysts to our director of treasury. Steve was a critical part of our team in building a successful organization. He not only understand the talents and skills that were required, Steve also took the time to understand our culture. A cultural fit was critical for us and we did not have time to make a mistake. Steve understood who we are and where we were going. He focused on only “A” players. Steve focuses on building a partnership rather than executing a transaction which is different than other recruiters I’ve worked with in the past.
