What Our Clients Say
“Marty is a master at his craft. He always keeps his client’s interests at the forefront and is a pleasure to do business with; highly enthusiastic, and a good listener as well. Marty has consistently produced great candidates — quickly if asked. Not to mention, he found the right company for me that started our association.”
Jonas Vass, Senior Project Manager – Development at Kilroy Realty
“We have used Marty several times for our critical searches. He always comes through with a number of high quality individuals that we can interview and select from, resulting in great performers for our firm. He also has high integrity and is honest when he thinks a candidate is not the right fit for our needs.”

It was one of the most rewarding business relationships both professionally and personally that I have experienced in my career. Under Jeff’s leadership and tutelage his team delivered results in a very professional manner that made me look forward to working with them on future assignments. Jeff’s leadership imprint was all over this team! He became a trusted business partner and confidant!”
