Terrific follow-up and details that really help us be ready to bring things to closure today. Sure is a pleasure to deal with someone of your level of professionalism and competency. As you know this is not the norm for many executive recruiters, your thoroughness is really a breath of fresh air. Thanks again for your outstanding recruitment services. Both Don and Todd are outstanding candidates and will be very strong associates in our retail team.

I have conducted business with dozens of recruiters in my career. GRN and Rick conducted business in a "step above" style. I was well represented and all business was conducted in a fashion that was recognizably of high quality. Attention to detail was probably the primary difference that was noticeable from initial contact.
  -- Mike, VP of Sales

Thanks for the update Rick. I like your style…quite different from the norm.
  -- Paul, Vice President Talent Acquisition

I am not surprised to learn your office Ranked #2 at GRN out of 200 offices worldwide- and perhaps unfortunate for you, have come to expect nothing less - that's what happens when you give great service!! Your team has been awesome with rolling these candidates to us. I reflect back to a year ago when we first started communicating - and the overwhelming sensation I was feeling with what was ahead of us. Thankfully, you have minimized that overwhelming feeling substantially - and I do truly thank you. Yes, I know we are paying you to do this, but it is more than just that - it's beyond the knowledge base -it is the professionalism with the personable touch that you provide! You are terrific!! Glad you're on my side!!!

My experience with GRN was fantastic! Rick took the time to get to know me and my career goals and to understand what I was looking for. You did your homework and were really interested in finding the right opportunity that matched my experience. Rick also prepared me with interview questions and guidance.

Thanks! Great follow-up and resource. You are one of the best firms I have worked with. I would refer your organization to anyone.
  -- Bryan, Senior Director of Marketing

My experience was excellent!! The process of the initial contact through the job acceptance moved very quickly, and I was kept in the loop with both e-mails and phone calls. Whenever I had a question, Rick was quick to respond with an answer.

Thank you VERY much for introducing me to your client and allowing this wonderful opportunity to be mine! I can't say enough nice things about this organization! Everything you said is 100% accurate! GRN found me the perfect job and I'm grateful!! THANK YOU!!!!

  -- S.S., SVP of Marketing

Just a quick note to let you know what a pleasure it is working with you. I have never worked with a recruiter in my career who is as thorough and straight forward as you are. Rick, I appreciate your work being so first-class, and am enjoying the process of honing my focus and receiving coaching from you.

My experience working with Rick Haberland and his staff was world class, and I would recommend them to anyone searching for a new career.

Rick Haberland was different than other recruiters from the start by digging deep into my background and then discussing in detail about it. Rick made sure I was a perfect fit for the position, and if there was anything I was missing or did not understand, Rick took the extra time and effort to make sure there were no questions going into the interview process.

I have never felt more prepared for an interview in my 15 years of Retail Merchandising.

I would absolutely 100% refer anyone to Rick and would not hesitate being a reference for Rick and his company. I am excited about my new opportunity, and Rick made the entire process inspiring and educational. I will always be grateful to you Rick. Please keep up the outstanding work you do for everyone!!!!

My overall experience with GRN Bloomington-South was excellent. I was dealt with in an extremely professional manner. Information was shared in a timely fashion, commitments were adhered to, and the staff was courteous and cooperative. Rick, especially, displayed knowledge of his client and their business that was far beyond my expectations.

One word: Professionalism. Other recruiters I have dealt with have used a “cattle-call” approach that involved throwing a large number of candidates at a position and hoping that one would stick. GRN took the time to ensure that my skill set was a good fit for the position, and then took the time to educate me on the company and the opportunities available in the position. Rick’ pre-interview preparation was exceptional, and allowed me to truly highlight those skills that would provide the greatest benefit to the client.

Keep doing what you are doing. The recruiting industry has become a morass of uncommitted, somewhat unscrupulous practitioners who are only concerned with “filling a slot.” Both the client and the candidate suffer. True professionalism, backed by a solid business model and integrity, is not only refreshing, but is the hallmark of a truly exceptional organization. GRN Bloomington-South is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise polluted business environment.
