"Sterling-Hoffman was able to assist us with a very difficult search for the NY/NJ area. We had been looking for months and were not willing to settle for a lesser sales person. The sales reps they placed in front of us were 'A-Players' and we were able to hire an excellent salesperson for the NYC region. Ethically the Sterling-Hoffman team is unparalleled. They are professional and precise and they offer only the highest caliber of candidates. Sterling-Hoffman has one of the finest security search practices in the market today and I will go to them every time I have a need." |

"One of the best VP Sales searches we've ever seen. Sterling-Hoffman has a superior understanding of enterprise software... they're thorough, and professional. But what really stood out is the integrity. Most search firms want to close the deal and move on; Sterling-Hoffman actually encouraged us to slow down and evaluate more candidates, even after we thought we had already found the right one. We would absolutely go to them again for our VP of Sales search needs." |

"Sterling-Hoffman has been one of the best Executive Search firms we have ever worked with. Their searches have been fast, reliable and efficient. They bring a great deal of intuition to the screening process and accurately identify an impressive short list among a limited pool of candidates in a competitive marketplace. The quality of these candidates have been precise and on target with our needs and requests. Sterling-Hoffman is a firm I can count on for an ongoing pipeline of highly qualified candidates, especially in the software sales discipline." |

"Sterling-Hoffman took the time to get a thorough understanding of our requirement from every perspective: employees, board, and investors. They had just the right balance of involvement and contact with the company vs. getting it done on their own. The process was compressed to 8 weeks, from first contact with Sterling-Hoffman to an accepted offer - in the end, they surfaced several great candidates and helped us land our # 1 choice." |

Chip Meakem, Partner DFJ Gotham Ventures |

"Sterling-Hoffman helped us hire two of the most key Vice Presidents in our organization. They were somehow able to get both executives to leave very large, prestigious organizations and interiew at Delano. This was done after the IPO was complete, which made the searches that much more challenging. As General Manager, I really appreciated the time Sterling-Hoffman took in understanding exactly what we wanted. We're not sure of anything more a search firm could provide it's clients and fully expect to use Sterling-Hoffman in the future." |
