Kudos from Companies and Candidates
David is one of the best executive recruiters in the business. I’ve worked with him as both a candidate and an employer, and he’s excellent in both roles. As a candidate, you really feel he has your best interests at heart, and is going to bat for you. As an employee, he’s working with you to source the very best prospects, and to get your job filled quickly. David comes highly recommended!

David has a very unique and inclusive process backed by superb business data, marketing expertise and keen intuitive sensibilities rarely found in the fast paced recruiting world. Unlike other recruiters, when working with David you’ll have someone who believes in you and your vision. One sometimes wonders if David has some magical computing process but in the end it’s his wonderful ability to understand client needs and connect the right talent at the right time.
Capital One Creative Director
When you’re looking for a new position, one of the most frustrating aspects can be the waiting and wondering. David was one of the most responsive recruiters I’ve ever worked with. When he had news, he called immediately. You always know where things stand when you’re working with David. He has helpful and professional in preparing for interviews — a real pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend David.

I highly recommend David to both employers seeking good people, and candidates looking for the right job.

Beacon Partners Director of Marketing and Communications
I met Dave several years ago while he was conducting a search for one of his clients. While the position was not right for me, he did take the time to understand my career goals and we kept in touch. Last year Dave told me that he had the perfect job for me – and he was right. Dave listened to what I was looking for and didn’t waste my time with jobs that were not right. During the process, he was very proactive in keeping me in the loop and advocating my candidacy. Whenever someone tells me they are looking for a job, I don’t hesitate to give them Dave’s contact information.
Putnam Investments Vice President, Account Management Supervisor
David is by far one of if not the best recruiter I have ever worked with in my career. David placed me at Holland Mark Advertsing 10 years ago. When I found myself in a similar situation in 2009, David was my first phone call in terms of discussing my career goals and opportunities that were currently available in the Boston market. David understands the discipline of marketing communications and not only acts as a recruiter for his clients but also as a consultant. He works very hard on behalf of his clients to ensure that the fit between employer and employee is the right one. He is available to answer questions and guide the process flawlessly. I’m pleased to have known David for over 10 years now.
