Daniel Landver, President
Lucas Design International
“Lucas Design was very anxious about the retention of a search firm. We saw the need for hiring the right employee to fulfill the COO position, but working in a niche within the fashion field made finding the right person all the more challenging. We were very quickly put at ease with the professional and straightforward approach that Executives Unlimited uses to find the right candidate. From the initial analysis to fulfill our very specific requirements, to the employee search, to the initial and secondary interviews, we were guided towards finding the right person the right way. The hard and comprehensive work, the patience, and the dedication to finding the right person made this hiring experience exponentially more productive. Lucas Design would very proudly recommend Executives Unlimited to any company looking to bring on the right executive.”

Quartermaster, Inc. – Southern California
"At Quartermaster, this was our first experience using a retained search firm. We interviewed four firms before deciding to engage Executives Unlimited. Executives Unlimited turned out to be a great choice and an excellent value. The Executives Unlimited search team’s hands-on approach guided us through the entire process. The staff was superb – they were always one step ahead of us. We were presented with a panel of excellent candidates during the process and making the final selection turned out to be more difficult than expected due to the high quality of the candidates presented. Executives Unlimited hit a home run in finding our new CFO."

Sanders Industries – Pennsylvania, California, Florida and the United Kingdom
"Working with Executives Unlimited was a great experience. I was most impressed with the option of a flat fee structure. I’ve worked with several other search firms which all charged a percentage of the hired candidate’s total compensation package. In my opinion this can sometimes create a conflict between the client’s interests in hiring the most qualified candidate and the recruiter’s optimal return on their time investment. In addition, Executives Unlimited was genuinely concerned about uncovering the candidate’s true capabilities; or lack thereof. Their responsiveness and speed in arranging interviews, testing, research, reference and background checks, etc., was a quantum level faster than I’ve experienced with any other firm. They were consistently available for after hour discussions. Executives Unlimited’s post-hire follow-up was in a class of its own. I was also impressed by how well they understood the manufacturing industry and how our business fit into that industry."

"As a nonprofit with limited resources and high regulatory demands, we require very specialized experience in our CFO, as well as a search consultant willing to learn enough of our business to recruit intelligently. Mike Michalisin of Executives Unlimited did his homework up front, helping us frame our position and search, thorough sourcing and vetting of qualified candidates and comprehensive due diligence. We are already benefiting from our strong hire – great skill and experience mix, and a great fit for our corporate culture."

Tim Davey, President,
DRI Services – California
"DRI Services was interested in hiring a senior level Vice President of Human Resources to drive our management resource initiatives and effectively communicate with our diverse workforce. We have not engaged a search firm for many years and in the past did not have good results until we retained Executives Unlimited. What impressed me most with Executives Unlimited was their assurance to take us through a search, interview and due diligence process. The Executives Unlimited team executed exactly what they promised in service, quality of candidates presented and completion within the projected time frame. It is refreshing to know that we have partnered with the Executives Unlimited search professionals that deliver exactly what they agreed to."

Jim Elsner, President & CEO,
Electrocraft, Inc.– New Hampshire
"We retained Executives Unlimited to find a Manufacturing Engineering Manager for one of our operating units. During the early stages of this search, our needs changed and we decided to hire a Plant Manager for this division so I could focus on more strategic issues important to our company’s future growth. Fortunately, while conducting the original search, Executives Unlimited identified several possible candidates with the extensive skill sets for the Plant Manager and other future positions within EAD Motors. This enabled our management team to quickly hire a qualified Plant Manager who hit the ground running. When our new Plant Manager recognized the need for additional talent to further strengthen our company, we hired Executives Unlimited again to begin a search for a Materials Manager. I am very pleased with the professionalism, speed and communication during the process and would definitely recommend Executives Unlimited’s services."

"When we asked Executives Unlimited to tackle this search, we knew it would not be easy. And while it proved to be as difficult as we predicted, the Executives Unlimited team never wavered. Their willingness to step back and their tenacity to try different approaches, or look in different directions was key to the ultimate success. This kind of determination and drive for excellence is what has made Executives Unlimited the world class operation that it is. I cannot say enough about the professionalism they have shown and the value they have brought to us."

"We retained Executives Unlimited to recruit a President for one of our operating subsidiaries. Although our market niche was narrow and specific, they produced several quality candidates in very short order. In addition, our interview and screening process is arduous. The Executives Unlimited team that handled our search stayed with us to a successful conclusion and has remained in touch with our new President since his start date. I am very pleased with Executives Unlimited’s dedication and service, and recommend them highly."

"Partnering with Executives Unlimited was certainly the right move. For years we utilized the services of another executive search firm with only marginal success. Executives Unlimited’s team is comprised of long-time executives who truly provide the highest level of professionalism and service to clearly understand and meet each client’s requirements and expectations. Executives Unlimited’s experience in accessing, screening and developing their extensive database of qualified candidates, combined with thorough interviews of qualified candidates prior to submitting them for candidacy is second to none. From start to finish Executives Unlimited’s attention to detail makes the selection process efficient and streamlined on multiple levels.

Well done Executives Unlimited, you have earned our business for the long term and I look forward to our continued partnership. "
