Verbatim client survey comments from Craig Mudge, former Corporate GM, Human Resources of BHP Billiton PLC regarding the CFO and other corporate searches:

"I worked with Mike several times throughout the 1990s. I used him for several high-level searches and he did an extraordinary job, helping us recruit some terrific people.

"I really enjoyed working with Mike. He sells well at the top, and he keeps in touch with both candidates and clients very well. In working with Mike, we never had a search without a successful conclusion.

"One thing I really liked about Mike is that he didn’t try to hog the client relationship for himself – I hate that trait in certain search consultants who maintain the fiction that they are doing all the search work themselves. Mike would sell his services as a "team concept", and he always had good support teams and he would bring them into the process early on so that they really understood us and the position we were seeking to fill.

"When I do a search, I hire an individual consultant versus a firm. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mike now that he’s on his own (versus going with a "brand name firm"), because today anyone with a good rolodex and a DSL line can do a great search – and Mike has done nothing but high quality searches for me in the past."
