"We
have consistently found that the major search firms do not
take the time to truly understand the pace and dynamic nature
of our industry. They typically operate through the 'who you
know' network and wouldn't treat critical searches with the
uniqueness and the personal touch they so aptly deserve. At
Iomega, we needed a partner that already had a strong presence
in our markets. We needed a firm that went beyond a so called
'network' to provide good, objective research (i.e. hard work),
hence ensuring that no stone in our search was left unturned.
Primus Associates has consistently proven their ability to
understand our business and adjust appropriately while providing
valuable insight and recommendations to facilitate the search
process effectively."

"From
the candidates perspective, although the computer industry tends
to have a lot of movement of people, I was really not interested
in the many phone calls that I would get because of my satisfaction
with the job responsibility and the company I worked for. However,
when Primus Associates called and kept calling, I decided to
check out the opportunity, more from curiosity, than from desire.
The
more I talked with Primus Associates, the more comfortable I
was that this was an opportunity that was a very good fit for
me personally and professionally. I believe they also felt that
my personal style and experience would enhance the possibility
of success at the new company and they patiently took me through
the recruiting process, what to expect from the interviewers
and what to try and express to them. In fact, we met the morning
of each of the interview days and we went through each interviewer
so I would have some idea of what to say when it came time to
meet them.
All
in all, it was a very professional and pleasant experience.
Although, I am happy to say that I don't intend to experience
it again because, thanks to their help, the job that I have
and the new company I work for are great and I have no intentions
of leaving."

"We
evaluated a number of search firms before choosing Primus Associates,
including large, multiple office firms and small, specialized
boutique firms. We selected Primus because we felt they listened
to our needs and were committed to satisfying them in a timely
manner. We were impressed by their professionalism, understanding
of the recruiting process and their responsiveness. They seem
to be available day or night. Within 30 days of starting the
first search they had identified, interviewed, and presented
the person we hired. They were diligent in keeping us informed
on where they were at every step of the process."
