Testimonials

Over the years, we have had the pleasure to work with a variety of clients ranging from small entrepreneurial clients to rather large publicly traded companies, with the commitment and focus to truly meet each company’s own unique recruitment needs.

In fact, a majority of our clients are repeat customers who understand the retained search model and value the results our expertise provides.

Below are just a few of the warm responses we have received for our work:

“It has been a pleasure to work with Larry Smith of Kathbern Management on our recruitment needs. He has gone further and turned over more rocks than all but one other Toronto head hunter that we have used in the past 5 years…and we have used over a dozen different Toronto recruiting firms. Larry delivered what he promised and according to our timelines. He was helpful and cooperative in every step of the hiring process and the hired Senior Manager has proven to be an excellent fit for our growing company”

Mark Ellison – President, Temspec Inc.

“We were very pleased with the Candidates that Kathbern Management provided. All 4 candidates were qualified for the position. I liked that they sent us a summary of the interview that they did with these people along with their individual resumes. The person we chose is working out perfectly. Larry Smith was excellent and responded very quickly to any of our questions. We will definitely use this recruiting company again for any future hires.”

Janine DeNike – General Manager, PaySource Direct

“Our experience, in the last few months, with Kathbern has saved Ecotherm time and provided professional services in managing our recruitment requirements and also conducted a very professional interview process to screen the candidates. Ecotherm will definitely recommend other small businesses to use Kathbern Management’s recruiting services.”
