Client Testimonials

“Dana Associates has helped to professionalize our sales organization over the past few years in many ways. Their candidates are always exceptional professionals; they clearly take extra time to source the best sales professionals in the market and are particular in terms of who they will present to a company. The extra time they take also means they can give you a very specific profile of the candidate they are presenting, allowing you to know more about the prospective candidate than any other headhunting firm I have ever worked with. They work hard to understand your staffing needs, often in ways you hadn't thought of yourself, by asking very useful and important questions to best understand the position, the organization, the people, and culture to maximize the success rate of a candidate that will fit long term. And finally, they have advised us on ways to structure offers, the organizational structure, or hiring plans in such a way that they have truly impacted the successful growth of our company with their advice.

We have several key management sales professionals in place today that are exceptional performers, allowing our company to grow from $32 to $51 million in sales this year thanks to these key people. This growth has given us further bank financing and investment community interest that would not have been possible without such hires from Dana Associates. We are truly grateful for the impact they have made on the success of our company.”

“The sales candidate that we hired from Dana Associates has been one of the best hires we had last year. She quickly became the number one sales rep in her region (the only rookie to attend out Medalist Club Trip) and we currently have her on a fast track to sales management. Dana Associates spent time understanding our needs, and they did an excellent job qualifying the candidate. Denise is the first call I make when I need to hire someone.”

“Whether as a candidate or as a client, my experience with Dana Associates has been great! When I was searching for a new position, Denise Grant took the time to understand what I was looking for and what would be the right fit. When I sought her services as a client, she also took the time to understand what I was seeking in an employee, and what type of person would be right for my organization. She didn't send me a lot of people to interview; she sent me the right people. It wasn't about quantity, but about quality. Working with Dana Associates has been a better experience than working with any other recruiter.”

“I have worked with Denise Grant of Dana Associates as both a client and as a candidate. She is smart, quick and effective, taking into account both the personality of the candidate and the environment of the client to ensure long-term success. Denise has the unique ability to identify and deliver impressive and capable candidates, keeping my interests in mind in pursuing those candidates. She effectively manages the job search process from the beginning of the search to its fulfillment; she doesn't waste my time.”

“I have used Dana Associates to recruit for new business sales positions, which are the hardest sales positions to fill. The candidates that have been sent to me for interviews have shown a history of over-performance, ambition, intelligence and have been well-prepared for the interview. Denise Grant, president of Dana Associates, is also a motivating and effective executive, therefore she tends to attract and send candidates to me that embrace those same qualities. Candidates that I have hired, who were sent by Dana Associates, have been very successful in their roles at Forrester.”

“I have worked with Dana Associates for over 10 years, and have found them to be the best in the business. They take the time to understand our needs; they work hard to ensure that their candidates are the right fit. Denise and her team are responsive, professional, and focused. They are key members of our extended team.”
