As Executive Vice President and Director of Human Resources we are always actively recruiting qualified engineers. We've worked with numerous recruiting firms with varying degrees of success. We started working with Definitive Recruiting after they cold called our firm and frankly did so as all the other firms we had been working with failed to deliver candidates that fit our criteria. Once engaged, they immediately sent over several candidates that met our firms needs and we ended up hiring one of their recommendations. The process was extremely fast (which we needed), thorough and professional. They are great at follow up and follow through! I highly recommend and will continue using Definitive Recruiting in the future!

I worked with Definitive Recruiting on filling two positions. Although those positions were a bit difficult to fill, he provided great assistance by selecting and sending resumes of candidates that exactly meet our needs. The candidates selected by Definitive Recruiting met our requirements and both were hired within a couple of weeks. Working with Definitive Recruiting is easy and straight to the point. No floods of resumes, but rather a precise selection of what was requested. Overall it was a great experience.

Definitive Recruiting recruited me for the position I currently have here at TPI Composites. They were very thorough in their research and very responsive to things I was interested in before starting with the company. Overall, I was very impressed with his professionalism and work ethic through the whole process. I have had recruiters in the past that were a bit overpowering and demanding, rather than working to help find the right fit. I would recommend Definitive Recruiting to anyone looking for a professional career and wish them all the success they deserves.

Definitive Recruiting and I collaborated several times over the past year to fill positions within my organization. As a recruiter, the Definitive Recruiting team was very professional, providing high-caliber candidates, following up in a timely fashion, and keeping me advised as situations changed with each individual candidate. Rich provided solid advice, sometimes even when it may not have been the best thing for them, but their goal was a long term relationship with me and my organization, not a short term win for themselves, and that showed in everything they did for us.
