ASG TESTIMONIALS

We appreciate all of Don’s support and effort. Having never worked with a search firm before, I didn’t know what to expect. From the first time I emailed Don and he replied so quickly to every step since, it has been an outstanding experience working with him.

– Chief Executive Officer

Joe Giacomin does his homework to get to know the profile the client is looking for and then he provided great value by filtering candidates and setting up a series of meetings with only the top fits. He is more personable than other recruiters I’ve worked with.

– VP of Marketing, Public Relations & Government of a Worldwide Aftermarkets Parts Supplier

From the initial call, Don was professional and courteous. As the interview process continued, Don stayed in constant contact and answered all my questions. He sent motivation text messages here and there as the process took some time. Upon final interview and down to the last couple candidates, he remined me to be who I was on our initial call.

As the offer was being created, Don was on his game and he knew what I wanted and was worth. The whole process was absolutely wonderful. Both Don and the team made this transition so smooth and easy!

– Candidate Experience

Joe has a keen ability to match a client’s needs and culture with potential candidates’ requirements and personalities. He is a true professional and car guy who is thorough and keeps apprised of the automotive industry’s trends as well as anyone. Has 40 plus years of experience and has adapted well to the ever-changing search and recruiting strategies that have evolved in the industry.

– Account Manager, World’s Leading Diversified Manufacturers of Specialized Industrial Equipment

I have worked with Don DeLaura since early 2015 on two search engagements. Both positions proved to be very challenging international placements in our global sales organization. His keen insight to understand the company culture and my expectations resulted in the hiring of two highly qualified sales managers for our Japanese and European operations. Don handled the interview process deftly and provided a plethora of candidates to choose from. Both engagements were efficiently concluded in a very short period of time. Don is a consummate professional in the field of executive search and I would highly recommend him.
