Client Testimonials

"Tom and the ExecutiveSmarts team are excellent recruiters with an uncanny ability to successfully execute the "one off" search for hard-to-find talent. It is not hard to find a CFO or VP of Sales.

ExcutiveSmarts excels at the unique. When CapRock was looking to hire an Angola Country Manager, we engaged Tom and the team to assist us. In a matter of days, they pulled together an excellent slate of candidates that met our stringent preliminary requirements. As a result, we were able to hire an outstanding person who was at the center of our bull's-eye."

“CRG has vast internal networks for turnaround and restructuring professionals, however, occasionally we need a specific industry experience our existing professionals do not have. When we exhaust our internal resources we frequently turn to Jim Stewart and his team. Executive Smarts provides a personal and efficient service, effectively sourcing quality interims across all functions and levels for our business, often at very short notice. In one specific situation, Jim found a Pig Farmer with a PhD in Meat Science in less than a week to assist with an assessment of a large swine farming operation".

CRP Partners Group LLC.


“Operation Kindness is the oldest and largest no‐kill animal shelter in North Texas. Tammy Guiso served as Operation Kindness’ Interim Executive Director from February through April 2008. Tammy came to us from Executive Smarts during a stressful time at the shelter, following the sudden resignations of the former Executive Director and another senior staff member. Mere words cannot describe how impressed my fellow board members and I were with Tammy’s performance. Her results exceeded my wildest expectations. We had hoped that Tammy would hold things together until the Board of Directors could hire a new Executive Director. Tammy did that and much, much more. Tammy left Operation Kindness a much better organization than she found it. Her impact has been profound and will be lasting. I can recommend her services enthusiastically and without reservation.”

- Jim Bennett, Board President

"The impact Jim and the Executive Smart's team made was profound! We had an experienced sales staff, however, our processes and organizational structure needed fundamental review. After a thorough examination of our business, Jim helped implement a concise strategy for streamlining our operations and opening up bottlenecks. Within months, our sales department was on the way forward."

"During repositioning and recapitalization of AutoRealty, Claude Smith, Interim CFO from the Executive Smarts’ team, helped evaluate various financing alternatives available in the market.  Claude’s thorough understanding of the financial landscape and the needs of AutoRealty helped us position the financial plans for the company.  It was a genuine pleasure to work with him and the whole Executive Smarts team."

Candidate Testimonials

"As a candidate working with ExcutiveSmarts on an opportunity I can sum up my experience with two words, 'no surprises.'

After completing the process and wining the opportunity,  I looked back on the process and found that everything HireSmartSearch had told me was correct and right on the money in terms of the company, the people, and the position.  Throughout the process I felt that I was important, kept well informed, and treated with the utmost respect. 

I enthusiastically endorse ExecutiveSmarts without any reservations, they are a first class company."

"Consulting with Operation Kindness was a fabulous experience that I will never forget. The dog and cat rescue shelter was in need of an interim executive director while the board conducted an extremelythorough search for a new director. The organization was in great need of help with leadership, planning, budgeting and general operations.

I was able to take my previous experience and skills to help them through a very rough patch in their organizational growth. I also participated in the interviewing and hiring for their new executive director, ensuring that the organization would continue to grow and thrive after I had the privilege of working with their board and staff. Executive Smarts did a great job of matching my skills with Operation Kindness, which had beneficial outcomes for all of us. I still carry a part of Operation Kindness with me every day, especially since I adopted Ozzie the dog while I was there!

Thanks for the opportunity to contribute Jim."

Since that time Executive Smarts has been instrumental in obtaining consulting positions for me in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) area. They have always dealt with me in an extremely professional and courteous manner. Their method of doing business goes way beyond just the employer employee relationship.

They have always treated me with dignity and respect and have provided me with theopportunity to utilize my talents to benefit clients."
