I have had dealings with executive search companies in the past but my experience with Ropella was by far the best.  I was approached with an opportunity that clearly fit my background and will allow me to advance to a higher management level as well as higher earning level.  The Ropella Group was visibly concerned about meeting my requests, as much as meeting the requirements of the company searching to fill the position. Everyone at Ropella was highly professional but also gave a personal touch which made my overall experience outstanding.

I am thankful to have gotten your aid and support throughout my career and wanted to write to stay connected. ...This perspective comes from working in companies with very different cultures – Koch Industries, arguably the largest and most successfully privately owned corporation to Procter & Gamble the world leader in branded consumer products. AND it is because of our interactions that I was able to learn and establish a framework from which I am able to succeed. Your insights and knowledge are a treasure.

Thank you very much for your assistance and tenacity in working me through the process to join BASF.  Both Jeff Bennett and Pat Ropella have been extremely professional in all of our discussions and negotiations.  I am extremely pleased with the outcome, and I would not hesitate to either recommend you and your firm to others or to retain you myself should the need arise.

I want to commend you for the way you have put the attachment for your search for a VP R&D together.
The best format I have ever seen!

I just want to take a moment and again say “thank you” for the work that you and your colleagues at Ropella have performed in placing me at Roquette America. ...this is really an opportunity that is a perfect match for my own personnel interests, experiences and education.  ...I am very impressed with the efforts that you and the staff at Ropella went through to first get to know me as a potential candidate, and then your work with both myself and Roquette to really educate everyone on what the potential was.  While that certainly was not the easy way out, your efforts were effective and I certainly appreciate them.
