Rodney Burke, Vice President, Global Finance, StarTech.com

“The main benefit of using Verriez was their personal touch and their close management of the search. We were always kept up to date and it was easy to communicate with them throughout the search. The quality of candidates presented was higher than we typically see through our other sources as well. The timeliness of the search completion was a priority for us as the vacancy was putting a strain on my team and Verriez came through as planned.” – Rodney Burke, Vice President, Global Finance, StarTech.com

David Wellington, CFO, Thompsons

“As a boutique firm with a special focus on senior finance roles, using Verriez enabled a far and wide reach with applicable candidates, especially since they are in the know of candidates that are not actively looking. We are in somewhat of a remote location and were hoping to find someone locally – we ended up hiring someone who lived down the street from our office that we did not know about!” – David Wellington, CFO, Thompsons

Peter Samson, Chair of the Board, A.V. Gauge & Fixture

“Verriez were very easy to work with compared to a big firm out of Toronto. They were also able to provide valuable feedback on compensation and benefits, as this was a market that was new to our portfolio. The quality of candidates presented was very high and the search was completed in a relatively swift manner which meant we did not have to use our firm’s in-house resources.” – Peter Samson, Chair of the Board, A.V. Gauge & Fixture

Wei Lin, Chief Operating Officer, KGK Science

As they were always on top of things, the surprises were minimized and there was a quick turnaround on getting a solid candidate in the role in a reasonable timeframe.” – Wei Lin, Chief Operating Officer, KGK Science
