Recruiter Testimonials

“It has been my pleasure to work with Bob Marshall for the past two years.  I have been the General Manager for the Americas with Baltimore Technologies during this period.  Bob is a true professional in the recruiting field and he contributed significantly to the success of Baltimore.”

“Bob has consistently found high quality candidates for Baltimore who are also a fit for the culture of the company.  He takes the time to understand the requirements of the business, and he is very well connected in the security industry.  When the occasional new hire does not integrate well with the company, Bob honors his commitments to make things right and find a replacement.  He is persistent without being annoying, which is an admirable trait for a professional who must constantly chase busy executives to get them to return phone calls!”

“Bob has proven himself to be a valued asset to Baltimore Technologies, and I am sure that his other clients feel the same way.  I give my strongest praise for him as a recruiter and as a person.”

--Tom Larson, General Manager, Baltimore Technologies

“I am Chief Operating Officer of SynData Technologies, a security software company.  For the last year the company has aggressively been adding to its staff.  During this period I have had the good fortune of working with Bob Marshall.  Mr. Marshall has helped SynData fill several key positions including Vice President of Sales and Chief Security Architect.”

“I enthusiastically write this letter of recommendation for Bob.  He is a consummate professional and extremely effective recruiter.  He works hard to understand the requirements of an assignment, identifies qualified candidates, skillfully and honestly ambassadors and conducts negotiations between the candidate and employer, plus scrupulously validates credentials and references.  As importantly, throughout my dealings with Bob, he always remained upbeat and a pleasure to deal with.”

--Joe Rizzo, Chief Operating Officer, SynData Technologies

“It is both a privilege and my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Bob Marshall.  Bob is an exceptionally gifted and professional recruiter.”

“I first met Bob in the Fall of 1998 when I was looking for new career opportunities.  This search led to my accepting the position of Chief Scientist with Equifax Secure, Inc.  I had been with my previous employer for fifteen years.  Needless to say, things had changed a lot from the last time I had been looking for a job.  Bob provided excellent guidance and advice as I considered the opportunity with Equifax Secure.  He was particularly helpful in negotiating my compensation package.  There were some family health considerations that played a major part in my decision to change jobs.  Bob, on his own initiative, conducted extensive research on the healthcare facilities and the suitability of the Atlanta area for my family’s situation.  This is not something you see in your typical recruiter.”

“Since joining Equifax Secure, I have used Bob’s services a number of times to recruit new employees.  Given my own, very positive experience as a job seeker, I had some initial concerns about Bob’s ability to effectively represent the interests of Equifax Secure.  My concerns were completely unfounded.  Bob has that rare ability to fairly and equitably represent both parties.  The successful hiring and retention of good employees is dependent on a number of things.  A good match of job requirements to capabilities and skill sets, and a fair compensation package are two very critical components.  Bob has a particular gift for locating candidates with the appropriate capabilities and skill sets, and ensuring that the proposed compensation package is fair to both parties.  This makes it a joy to work with Bob.”

“I wish Bob the very best and look forward to his continued success!”

--Dan Corcoran, Chief Scientist, Security and Directory Services, Equifax Secure, Inc.
