Search: Vice President, On-Line Media
Hi Ray. I started to write you a response to your last email and it's been sitting in my drafts file ever since. I wanted to tell you how delighted I have been with the entire recruiting process that led to bringing our new VP on board. He's an excellent fit here and is going to make a huge difference. As I am decentralizing the management of the online business, I am sure there will be more opportunities as well. So I look forward to meeting you in person at some point and I want to say that it is really a pleasure to work with you.
Best regards,
Steve Weitzner, President and CEO of CMP Media

We have worked with Ray following a recommendation from our sister company. Not only was Ray successful in completing the assignment, I found the service very quick, efficient and professional and was particularly impressed with the thoroughness of Ray’s work with the candidates themselves. What makes this all the more impressive is that we are based in Europe and all of this work has been done remotely over several thousand miles distance. I have already recommended Ray to another company and would not hesitate to do so again.

“I have experienced working with Ray from the perspective of being recruited and recruiting for me. He goes the extra distance. He offers advice that really adds value, and sometimes even acts a coach. His style is unique, as he progresses each project towards a successful conclusion in his inimitable, fun loving, way. He is a professional, and you sense it as he takes the sting out of the recruitment process. I can safely say that I am delighted with the position that Ray recruited me into, and with the people he has recruited for me. Ray Holley stands out as the best in his class.”

Ray Holley is, quite simply, the best recruiter I have ever worked with in my twenty year sales career. The great majority of recruiters will throw any number of candidates at the same position and hope that one of them sticks. Ray is different. He will act as a candidate's advocate if he truly believes him/her to be a fit for the position. He is also a great coach during the interview process. His intelligence, experience, and integrity put him in a class of his own in the profession. I'm very glad that our paths crossed.
