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. 

Robbie Ropella was great to work with during the entire process of getting me into a new position.  I was not looking for a job at the time, but Robbie helped me understand the benefits of working with my new company. I would happily recommend Robbie to my friends and family.

Kim provided excellent service and communication in searching for my new career. I believe her diligence and attitudes towards her clients makes her an excellent recruiter and would recommend her for any position/client.

It was great working with Patrick Ropella because he provided great suggestions to improve my preparation for interviewing and marketability.  He also provided an great interface to the client that kept me fully up to date regarding the status of my candidacy for the position.  I would strongly recommend him to my colleagues who are considering a career change.

“I have been in the chemical industry in leadership positions with BASF and Silberline Manufacturing for 25 years.  Through this period and during my transition period I have dealt extensively with retained search professionals.  You clearly operate at a much higher standard than the norm in the industry and I wanted to point that out to you.  This comes through in several areas:  follow up skills, punctual phone contact, personable nature and an optimistic perspective that drives you to make the extra effort to make things work for both the client and the candidate.  Life is a constant negotiation and you seem to see this and make it a pleasant process.”

It was so wonderful to speak with you today.  I admire and appreciate how hard you work to make a difference and how kind and understanding you are.  Sometimes it is possible to know someone’s spirit just by communicating with them; today was one of those times for me, hopefully you got a sense of who I am also my sincerest and best wishes to you.

I appreciated your effective, fast-paced assistance with my recent search.  Ropella’s targeted Skills Survey quickly cuts to the heart of a candidate’s value to the hiring organization.  The Ropella process kept both parties focused on a fact, skills, and achievement-based hiring process.  I found your timely advice throughout the search process invaluable to my success.  The entire process took eight days from first contact to acceptance of the job!
