“Kristan
International has performed high quality searches for me since
1988. Due to their outstanding completion rate and quick turn-around
time, I retained Kristan International to conduct numerous search
assignments for me when I was Vice President of Human Resources
at several Fortune 100 corporations in different industries throughout
my career. The staff at Kristan International are prompt and professional
and they are able to immerse themselves quickly into new organizations,
products, and cultures. The most important attribute of the company,
however, is Kristan International’s capabilities to identify,
entice and land employees who are not in the job market. The candidates
are pre-sold on the position and the company before they arrive
at my doorstep.”

"Our
company, Smith & Associates, has used Kristan International
for various executive searches over the past 10 years. Kristan
International performs thorough, nationwide searches and target
individuals that fit our requirements. They don't waste our time,
which is greatly appreciated. Our company relies quite heavily
on international logistics. Several years ago, we approached Kristan
with the need to fill a senior level position to oversee our company's
operations. Kristan undertook a nationwide search, identified
an individual that was a splendid fit, sold this person on our
opportunity and handled all the details from compensation negotiation
to reference checks. Kristan is an excellent firm and I can fully
recommend them."
