Mike McNulty did an excellent job staying in touch and working with me over a span of 3 years.  As a past job seeker he met with me to test my personality and strengths and then consistently reached out to me to present me with solid opportunities that matched my skill set and personal career goals.  Mike placed me in my current sales position.  He talked with me often to keep me informed on next steps and I felt he gave me great advice as far as how to best showcase my sales skills and achievements.  Mike did a great job of preparing me for interviews and he was very knowledgeable on the business drivers behind the need for a position.  I feel Mike has a true understanding of what his clients are looking for and he looks for the right match for all parties involved.  -   Cari La Cava, Sales Executive

Dear Mike,

I want to take this time to offer a great deal of gratitude to you for placing me with the Weitz Company. Your ability to take my experiences and skill set and apply them to the perfect career spot is unbelievable. You have literally helped me find my dream job and changed my life in an incredibly positive direction.

If you think about it, you have invested 4 years of your life working with me to accomplish this goal. Your ability to think strategically, develop long term relationships, and place both the employer and potential employee at a mutual high priority is very impressive.

The best part of this deal is that my boss at Weitz is as happy as I am and has many great things to say about your performance as well.

As you know our company has a passion to grow and we will require future sales and engineering personnel. Mike McNulty will be the first and only recruiter I will call.

Sincerely,

Darren

Mike is the ultimate professional and worked hard to listen to my unique needs and provide the best candidates for me to evaluate.  The only thing I would recommend for growth and improvement is making sure the candidates know who the decision makers are.  Sometimes, recruiters advise candidates to not communicate with the company after the interviews and that could be dangerous.  Ultimately, hiring managers want to know that sales people can get to decision makers so keeping them from showing that skill could be detrimental to their chances of getting the job. 

The key differentiator was Mike’s willingness to listen to my unique needs for filling the open position.  Mike provided the resources I needed to fill the positions in a timely manner.

Working with Executive Resources was a very pleasant experience.  Mike McNulty was very thorough, professional and easy to work with.  I felt like Mike took time to understand my needs and the unique requirements around the open position on my team.  I enjoyed working with Mike and I look forward to working together again soon.

I was very impressed with the organization, website tools, etc., but most important and useful to me was your understanding of the hiring organization; it’s objectives for the position, and what I could expect with the role.  I encourage you to continue to research and find out as much about the company, hiring manager, support structure and process around their job selection.  This is a differentiator!!!


Executive Resources is a recruiting firm that exceeded my expectations.  The process from beginning to end was led with efficient expertise, bringing the utmost value to all parties involved.   - Kim - January 2009

To Whom It May Concern:

I am most pleased to write a character reference for Mike McNulty.

I have been in communication with Mike for the better part of three years, when I was still lived in Texas. As a job prospector looking in Iowa and living in Texas, I proved to be a difficult task. Mike worked tirelessly over the next couple years searching for the perfect match.

 I remain amazed at his relentless efforts. I am now working what many might consider a ‘dream job’. Mike handled everything – coaching me from start to finish making the process virtually effortless on my end.

I am sure that whoever hires Mike will find he is the hardest working recruiter in the state. He is truly an asset in any individual’s search.

Sincerely,

Sean Bolton

Re:  Recommendation Letter for Mike McNulty

To Whom It May Concern:

Mike McNulty of Executive Resources assisted my recent employment search in 2006.  His efforts resulted in my recruitment by a reputable and select world-class organization.

Mike displayed the best qualities of professionalism while seeking out a good match to my qualifications and career aspirations.   He worked out interview and other hiring process details at an impressive speed.

For his ability to recognize talent and identify suitable job opportunities, I would recommend Mike as a valuable asset to any candidate or employer in the marketplace.

Sincerely,

Pedro Gomez


Todd truly possesses the in-depth knowledge and practical support necessary for developing and cultivating relationships that ultimately achieve search results.  Todd is true to his word, engaging, upfront and honest in setting the expectation and direction of the career search process.

Because of Todd’s professional experience in the healthcare industry he instantly recognized my value to his client.  However, his greatest interest was making sure it was personally and professionally the right career choice for me, his candidate. 

Through my relationship with Todd and the team at Executive Resources I was immediately selected as a search candidate and promptly offered a career opportunity within an outstanding organization.

To whom it may concern:  

This letter is my personal recommendation for Mike McNulty. Recently, I was in the process of finding a new job in the engineering field. I was directed to Mike McNulty through a former advisor at college. He met with me to discuss my qualities and overall career goals. He was not only knowledgeable about potential openings, but effective in portraying my qualities to the company looking to hire.

I was pleased with how he handled the whole process from hiring to the follow up. He relieved some of the stress that accompanies job changes and provided encouragement on how to handle the overall situation. His help allowed me to relax and focus on the interview process instead of the change itself. He also provided recommendations for the interviewing process and discussed with me the potential company goals and their desires in an employee. He was detailed and task oriented and dedicated to helping me reach the desired job.

I just want to reiterate how easy the overall process was for me and it was all due to the dedication of Mike McNulty. I appreciated his friendship and willingness to go above and beyond to make this whole process possible. I am extremely happy with the current job I am working at and would recommend anybody to use Mike McNulty as a resource for job placement. Thanks for all of your help.

Sincerely,

Mandy Koenig

To Whom it may concern

It is not often I write letters such as this, but in the case of Mike McNulty I believe it is warranted and necessary.  My method of work is to do what is necessary to get the job done and not expect any “pats on the back”.  Mike contacted me and acted as an intermediary in securing a position for me to not only further my career, but to take maximum advantage of my experience and time in the industry.

Finding me a position would have been sufficient since I thought this was his primary function.  In my case, however, he went beyond this function to ensure that the company and I were a good fit for now and the future.  After investigating the position he related to me that he was sure I would excel in a very short period of time and he developed a relationship with me of trust where I believed this as fact.  I have worked in my new capacity for a month and a half (with the Christmas Holidays in-between) and have taken on additional responsibilities not originally outlined in the job description.  I am now instructing and acting as an internal consultant to other departments because of my good fit.

 I do not believe my quick recognition and opportunity for advancement would have happened if Mike had not taken the time to be thorough in matching me with the company and not the position.  He also took time to participate as an outside speaker at a conference that I was involved in organizing.  His presentation and round table discussion helped professionals and recent graduates alike in crystallizing their individual goals in the job hunting arena.

 I truly believe that this type of match-making is standard operating procedure for Mike and I intend to be in contact with him when my efforts here are rewarded with the responsibility of a professional staff. 

 Sincerely,

 John S. Segura, P.E.

Executive Resources:

I am writing this letter of recognition for the work Mike McNulty provided to me during and following my employment search last year.  Mike was professional and informative in every manner.  I was made aware of all opportunities applicable to my situation and Mike negotiated two acceptable offers for me.  My contract was concurrent to what I was seeking and I fully understood what was being offered to me.

I very much appreciate how Mike has followed up with me after employment to reaffirm that I was satisfied with his efforts and my employment.  I will utilize Mike McNulty and Executive Resources in any further employment searches and am confident that the service provided will be exceptional.  I am happy to refer your agency to persons I encounter seeking employment services. Also I would like the Owner and the management team at Executive Resources to know that Mike McNulty is truly an asset to your company. In the business you are in you know how hard it is to find a quality employee for your clients, with that said I think it could be as simple as using Mike as your compass.

Sincerely,

Doug
