CLIENT | TESTIMONIALS |

A solid foundation and history of success in talent acquisition and development. Here is what some of our clients have to say:

If you want to find the candidate that matches your culture, wants the same future success you seek, and has a history of supporting the effort, Don has already found the individual for you. Few recruiters can tell in a relatively short time if there is a match and even fewer who are there after the placement to assure success. With a broad network and the ability to connect and target just the right traits and individuals at the right time, Don has an advantage over most recruiters. If you want the best, I recommend calling him!

- Kathy W — Global Business Director

Don consistently produces top candidates that align with our requirements and culture, regardless of the position. Don is the consummate professional who has a passion for details and partnering with his clients to ensure the best possible match for a given role.

- John H — EVP Commercial Operations at a Chemical Raw Material Manufacturer

Laurie made the training fun and interactive, and I appreciate the time and effort she put into customizing the session to meet our specific needs. The follow-up coaching sessions have been invaluable to make this more than training. It’s now how we do things.

- SVP Business Development — Participant in Emergenetics Team Effectiveness Training

Don has a deep network of exceptional candidates who quickly generate highly qualified candidates for critical roles. He works in true partnership with us, taking the time to understand our needs holistically (KPI’s, culture, and skills gaps). Don is a world-class talent acquisition expert that treats you like you are his top priority.

- Mike S – VP of Sales at a Major Chemical Manufacturer

I found the Emergenetics profile and activities the most helpful and relative of any learning activity I’ve done in my 24+ year career. I wish I would have had this insight and tool years ago.

- Director of Marketing — Participant in Emergenetics Meeting of the Minds Workshop

Don is an expert in his field. He is persistent and driven to provide the best results possible for both his clients and principals. His focus and tenacious efforts over several months were relentless in finding me the perfect job. I recommend Don Thomas to anyone who needs assistance in finding the ideal opportunity.

- Gary F — Sales Manager at a Major Chemical Manufacturer

For the last 15 years, Laurie has facilitated numerous training and development sessions for my department and me. Laurie is the ultimate professional. She takes the time to get to know her customers and tailors each session to their needs. She has an excellent facilitation style and provides humor where appropriate, making each occasion fun for the participants.
