	“I am happy to say Norm’s persistence paid off. He introduced us to a truly exceptional candidate who has fit the company’s needs and culture like a dream. If you are looking for a recruiter who really listens, is truly dedicated to solving his client’s problems, and maintains his professionalism in the face of any challenge, Norm is your guy, and the Troyanos Group is your company.” – Bill Drummy, Founder and CEO, Heartbeat Digital   (View Full Letter)
	“As I am sure you know, not only is Cleveland a tough place to get someone to relocate to – it’s not exactly a hotbed of home-grown direct marketing talent… The prep work paid off and you relatively quickly found us 2 viable candidates – and both actually lived in the Cleveland area! As you know, we made an offer to one of those candidates and she started with s last September. After four months, she’s doing a terrific job and she’s been a great addition to my team.” – Eric Greenberg, VP Marketing, Life Line Screening   (View Full Letter)
	“As a result of your strategic counsel, we were enabled to acquire an executive who we are confident will take us to the level we need to succeed. Maureen joins me in thanking you for your professionalism, perceptive advice and most importantly, your friendship.” – Gerald Taylor, General Manager, Lippe Taylor Brand Communications   (View Full Letter)
	“Over the years, we have used their services for our more challenging and unique searches, where normal, cookie cutter approaches will not suffice. I found them to be relentless and extremely resourceful in their efforts to source the best talent. They take a long term view of their business relationships, and are not afraid to share their advice, even if it isn’t what I may want to hear. Overall, I have been well served by following thier advice, and have regretted the times when I did not.” – Gavin Swartzman, Managing Director, MDC Partners    (View Full Letter)
	“Moreover, you provided great guidance and counseling throughout the search. As a result of this collaboration, I consider you not only great professionals, and a joy to work with but also partners critical to helping me move the business forward. ” – Jay Bigelow, President & CEO, Micromass Communications    (View Full Letter)
	“You and Norm added value to the search at every step. Your insights into the job and its role in the organization helped position it to candidates and create excitement for the opportunity.” – Paul D’Andrea, President, Myron   (View Full Letter)
	“This past year, I had the pleasure of working with the Troyanos Group on a search for a new head of one of our companies. This was my first experience in working with the group, and I can truly say that they are one of the most impressive firms I’ve worked with to date. As a senior level hiring manager, you hope that a retained search firm will truly understand you as a company, your needs, and what it will take to be a successful leader in your organization. With this, you then hope that they give you a focused pool of great candidates to choose from, and among them, the exact right choice joins your firm. This is exactly what Troyanos delivered.” – Sam Welch, President, North America Advertising, Publicis Healthcare Communications Group (View Full Letter)
	“Importantly, we ended up hiring not just one but two terrific candidates and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Norm and his team. They are definitely a class act in their sector and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them for your senior executive recruitment needs.” – Simon Williams, President and CEO, Sterling Brands   (View Full Letter)
	“As an executive retained search partner with Transitions Optical (TOI), Troyanos took ample yet efficient quality time to truly develop a rapport and relationship with the company at all levels and across functions. They truly delved deeply into TOI’s DNA, processes, and views on personnel, talent and recruiting. They genuinely sought to understand “what makes TOI tick” and internalize TOI’s culture and values. This is one of the single biggest differentiators between Troyanos Group and any other recruiting firm I have worked with: I truly felt Troyanos “got us” as a company and I was supremely confident they would evaluate all candidates through this filter; and reflect this appropriately in their conversations and representations to prospective candidates. – Alexis A. Cardona, Chief Marketing Officer, Transitions Optical, Inc. (View Full Letter)
