Testimonials
Our Clients Testimonial
President, Riverhead Building Supply Corp.
Jim McKenna has a background in our industry and presents qualified candidates with a high likelihood of success. Other search firms ascribe to a quantity over quality approach, presenting numerous candidates whose qualifications can be marginal. Jim McKenna at Definitive Search Partners understands that his success is not measured by getting someone hired. He seeks to place qualified candidates with strong companies offering good careers.
Regional Sales Manager, STO Corp
I first worked with Jim at Definitive Search Partners (DSP) as a candidate where he placed with an International Building Materials manufacturer of waterproofing and wall systems. I now work with (DSP) as a Hiring Manager at my current company. (DSP) has helped me find the candidates with the background I am looking for in a fast and timely manner.
Consulting Specialist, Moreci & Associates
Jim and I worked together at GAFMC. Jim was known as a top producer and educator for new hires. I attended a great training program taught by Jim and benefited from his practical training and real life experience. Over the yrs. Jim mentored and trained many new hires like me. Jim was known as the go to guy who worked tirelessly to make it happen in a high stress results oriented company. I highly recommend Jim to anyone who could benefit from his expertise.
