TESTIMONIALS

“I had never used a recruiter before and this was the first time we had hired a senior level position. Brian Schrift was a real business partner found out what I needed and provided much better, screened candidates that I was getting via any other method. He helped us raise our expectations and provided a candidate that will help Farmers become a better Company. Of the dozen or so recruiters that call me, none can compare to Brian.”
– Kent W. Jones CPA, CPCU, ARe, AIAF, CPIA - Farmers Mutual Fire Ins Co of Salem County

“Very professional and thorough, we have developed a good working relationship and lines of communication.”
– Jeff Noll, Corporate Talent Manager – Weis Markets

“Brian Schrift offered consistent follow-up even before we had a specific recruiting need. During a recent search for an EVP/ General Manager, I found him to be honest, straightforward and dependable. His candidates represented people who were experienced, highly skilled and matched our culture. I would surely work with Brian again in the future.”
– Diane Hudobenko, Vice President of Human Resources - Virginia Farm Bureau

“I initially engaged Marc and TCG to fill a new VP of Claims position. I was extremely pleased with the quality of the candidates he identified and prescreened. Marc worked closely with both me and the candidates to ensure a good match. Marc clearly understands that his job wasn't to fill a position but to find the right person who had the required skill sets but would also fit well with the company's culture. I was so satisfied with Marc's efforts; I've subsequently engaged him for three additional placements. I would have no problem recommending TCG to others except to my competitors. I don't want them to get the same quality of talent that I've gotten.”
– Tim Dietrich, President - Stonetrust Commercial Insurance Company
