What our clients are saying...

"My experience with QUAD656 is outstanding. Sheila Matthews has been a primary staffing resource for QVC for several years. I find Sheila to be very polished, sophisticated, organized and professional. What differentiates QUAD656 from the other recruiting firms is their exemplary follow up. When I call with an open position, I get an immediate response. If Sheila does not have a candidate immediately, she keeps me posted. When she does send a candidate, they are always right on the mark and if they are not an exact fit, then they are very close. Sheila is very open to constructive feedback. She knows when to give information and when to give space. QUAD656 is now a known name in the QVC finance and recruiting areas. Out of all the agencies, QUAD656 is the best. I know I will work with a bright, seasoned professional with very good listening skills and an excellent track record."
- QVC, Human Resources Manager

We have highly specific recruiting needs and Lori has risen to the challenge time and time again to fill these difficult searches."
- Cendant, Director of Staffing

Randi understands our business and only presents candidates that fit our needs. She is extremely customer-oriented and is very professional. Her quick turn around and responsiveness to our requests has been superb!"
- Smart & Associates, LLP, Human Resources Director

"QUAD656 – They listen and hear what you are saying in terms of the type of candidate you are seeking. They continually provide strong candidates that meet our hiring needs. Patti Zajick has placed my entire department and is a reliable and valuable resource for all of our staffing needs."
- Comcast Cable Corporation, Accounting Manager

“As Chief Operating & Financial Officer of a specialty manufacturer and the former Vice President of Finance at a telecommunications equipment company, I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jill Kraus for almost 15 years. Our business relationship really took off when I realized that many of the best new hires we had were presented to us by Jill.  Jill is a true professional who works tirelessly for her clients.  While I don't encourage it; there have been many times when Jill has worked with me on a position while on vacation or in the evening.  Working with her, I quickly realized that Jill was not satisfied until I was.  She does an outstanding job of getting to know potential candidates, screening them and presenting only the best of the group.  Candidates are prescreened for salary and are presented with a summary which include credentials, qualifications, her feedback and her impressions of the candidate.   I cannot say enough good things about Jill.  Simply put, Jill Kraus is one of the best recruiters I have worked with in my career.”

- Leading North American Manufacturer, Chief Operating & Financial Officer

“Paige McCrossin is an outstanding recruiter.   I have had the pleasure of working with Paige both as a job seeker, and as a hiring manager.   She takes the time to really listen to, and understand her candidates, and then formulates the best approach for an upcoming interview.   As a hiring manager, the candidates resumes that I received were right on target for what I was looking for.   I always received resumes that had all of the qualifications a position required.   Paige ensures that her candidates are prepared for an interview with a wealth of company information, as well as her keen insights on the interviewers and departmental personnel a candidate may be meeting with.   Paige has the ability to make the normally uncomfortable new hire interview process to flow smoothly.”

- Rich, Tax Manager

“My experience with QUAD656 has been outstanding. Bonnie Wolf-Colalillo has been our primary resource for accounting and accounts payable staffing needs for the past 8+ years. What makes Bonnie a great resource for us is that she learns the company's needs before placing anyone to ensure the best match, not just a placement for the fee. Bonnie has always placed very qualified people for all positions and she keeps in touch on a regular basis, even when I do not have a need for temporary or permanent placement services. She makes sure that she is up to date on any business needs, as well as what may be coming in the near future.  In summary, Bonnie does a great job and makes me feel like I am her only client.”

-Controller, Major NJ Health System

"I am a consultant who has the privilege of working for CEO's, CFO's and CIO's as an advisor and a PMO Manager. In this capacity I have been in the position of hiring staff for my client. It was in this hiring role that I met Shari Handali. Shari provided me with professional advice, counsel and service well beyond my experience with other placement firms. Each candidate she provided was highly qualified and well worthy of the assignment, making for hard choices. She has an unflappable attitude and tremendous patience. 

QUAD656 has a very good reputation with my clients and I believe Shari is the chief reason for this. "

-Richard, Consultant

“I had the pleasure of working with Barbara Rader at Quad656 both as a client and a candidate for the past few years. As a client, our recruiting process is greatly enhanced by the relationship we have built with Barbara. I am extremely impressed with the recruiting services she has provided. I recently worked with her to fill a position within our Finance team that required a unique skill set that included financial analysis and systems experience. Within one day , she provided resumes for several top quality candidates that possessed the exact skill set that was requested for the position. Due to her professionalism and diligence , we were able to fill the position with an outstanding individual in less than two weeks. As a candidate, I worked with Barbara on my current position. I have worked with several recruiters in the past and their standards of service fall short when compared to Barbara. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable and informative throughout the entire process. She was instrumental in helping me find this outstanding opportunity. I highly recommend Barbara for all recruiting services and I look forward to working with her and Q UAD 656 in the future.”

-Manager FPA, Technology Provider

"QUAD656 is a wonderful resource for temporary help. Bonnie Wolf-Colalillo and Laurence DeLorme make it their responsibility to listen to what you are looking for and placing the best candidate in that position. If they don't think they have a good fit, they will not recommend a candidate. They always ask for feedback on candidates to help with fitting them with the next assignment. Their knowledge and expertise with staffing is first class. I have worked with Bonnie for over 10 years and it's one of the best experiences I have ever had with a vendor."

- Kelly, Finance Manager

I have used Shelley VanClief as a recruiter for the past two years. I initially engaged her services to fill critical financial roles within our organization. After successfully finding great candidates to fill the finance roles, I gave her searches outside the norm for QUAD656. Shelley has since done a magnificent job in recruiting great talent, allowing us to fill mission critical roles in the areas of product management, marketing, and technical sales. Shelley always pursues search opportunities with a sense of urgency, and has become my “recruiter of choice”. - Jeff, Head of Human Resources

"Mike Chaconas is not your average executive recruiter. He returns calls and emails, is not hesitant to speak the truth, is always professional, knowledgeable and especially sensitive to those who are between executive appointments at the moment. I am pleased to know him and recommend him without hesitation.”

-Rick, Vice President Client Services

What our candidates are saying...

"While I am a professional in my field, seeking placement in a new part of the country was not something I looked forward to doing. Fortunately, I met Randi Goltz and her staff at QUAD656. Within two weeks of my introduction to QUAD656, I was afforded interviews with two very attractive international companies. The results of these interviews was that within a one month period of meeting Randi and her staff, I received two excellent offers for key corporate management positions. As a matter-of-fact, they were both so good, I had difficulty in selecting one! Of course I did select one and I am now Senior Tax Manager with exciting duties that include international travel. This position also carries great growth potential within the corporate executive level. The wonderful work and support provided by QUAD656 made this opportunity happen for me. Thank you, Randi, for your excellence and professionalism."
- Brenda, Senior Tax Manager

"Patti Zajick was the answer to my prayers! QUAD656 truly cares about the individuals that they're dealing with, and goes out of their way to make the job search process a whole lot easier. They are professional, honest and compassionate people who've made finding people a job their career."
- Jennifer, Public Accountant

"Lori Marcus was very positive and helpful in her efforts to place me in a position that would be compatible with my current job skills. I was given an ample amount of information before each interview detailing the company and position for which I was applying. In addition, Lori was available to answer questions or concerns at all times. The experience with QUAD656 was a positive one, bringing about the feeling that someone was working for me, not working for a commission."
- Marcia, Senior Analyst

"Sheila Matthews provided me with the perfect opportunity!! The position I accepted is a great match to my technical skills and fits with my personal life perfectly. Instead of working in center city, I now work 4 miles from home, in a work environment which is truly family friendly."
- John, Inventory/Capital Analyst

"I am writing this letter to inform you of the outstanding experience I had dealing with John Harrison, who is one of your recruiters.

While going through this process, I dealt with several recruiting agencies and their recruiters in the Tri-State area, and found many of those experiences to be less than satisfactory for various reasons. Conversely, when I met John, he was the most professional and efficient recruiter I worked with. While John worked with me to find regular full-time employment as an Executive Administrative Assistant, he followed up on every issue, was meticulous to detail, and he kept me informed on a regular basis.

Having been removed from the full-time job market for a few years, the process of searching for employment became a very wearisome and frustrating experience for me. John encouraged me not to lose faith and worked diligently with me until we found the job match that bests suited my talents and skills.

I felt compelled to let you know what an outstanding recruiter John is and you are fortunate to have him as one of your employees at QUAD656."

- Susan, Executive Assistant

"For the past 2 1/2 months I have been working with Bill Reilly on your team to help me locate a new opportunity and challenge in the market place. I have worked with the same firm for the past 9 years and felt it was finally time for a change and to explore the current market. I wanted to share with you how much I enjoyed working with Bill and the positive experience I had dealing with the Quad Team.

From the beginning, through our initial conversations over the phone, Bill was nothing short of professional, responsive, courteous and most importantly listened to what I was looking for and what my career goals were. When we met in person, I had that same feeling and I knew Bill and I would work very well together and that he would be out for my best interest. I must say, that is one of the key areas of focus that I was so impressed with Bill early on. Throughout our entire interaction, it was never about finding me any job so he could "close the deal" and "get the commission". I felt all along that Bill was working with me for me and to ensure that we would work hand in hand in finding the right job for me, in the right salary range, with the right career opportunity. Never once did I feel pressured to interview anywhere or jump on an offer. In addition, Bill always ensured I had all pertinent information before each interview and that he shared with me as much literature as he had on each Firm.

I thought you should know what a dedicated employee you have working for you and know that I will share his name and your firm with my colleagues to work with Bill. His professionalism was first rate and it was a pleasure working with someone that had the professional and personal focus on what I was looking for and coming up with those jobs that fit my criteria. I will definitely continue to keep in touch with Bill and, without hesitation, call upon him again should the need ever arise."

- Vice President, JPMorgan

“I just wanted to say thank you for everything Michael Moore was able to help me with. This job has been great so far, and it has been a great experience finally being able to get back to work. I have told others how awesome Michael is to deal with and how much he really helped me through this situation in my life.”

- Joe, Mechanical Engineer

"John Ambrose is an exceptional recruiter. I have had the pleasure of working with him over the past five years and there is not one negative thing that I can say about him.  Not only will he find you a great job, but he will offer you excellent advice on professional growth and development.  Further, John executes his services with a personal touch. It is not about placing an individual anywhere just to meet expectations for the quarter; he is about long-term growth and stability. Aside from aligning you with opportunities for your growth and advancement, he will also make sure that it is in line with your personal life - particularly your family needs. In the years that I have worked with him, I have advanced, completed an MBA, and started a family. Throughout all of these events, John has worked diligently to match me with positions that meet my personal goals and family living!"

-Ronnie, Senior Staff Accountant

“Jill Kraus, I want to thank you for all of your efforts regarding the Public Savings opportunity.  Your feedback and assistance with trying to make it happen was a breath of fresh air.  I had some experience working with recruiters in the past and you have outshined them all. I look forward to working with you again on the next potential opportunity.”

-Robert, Operational Risk and Compliance Manager

“Mike Chaconas is an awesome recruiter and has a great personality. He is honest and helps to find you the ‘perfect fit' job. His knowledge in the business is leverage for any candidate. Once you get the job, he negotiates the right price and things for you. He has been my recruiter for many years now. Although I don't need a job at present, I can call him when I am interested in looking and he's right there searching for me! How much more can one ask for? He is a valuable asset to the company and treats his clients as valuable assets when working with companies. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent recruiter! Thanks Mike for all you've done for me.”

-Tracy, Senior Financial Analyst

“I wanted to thank John Harrison for working with me and finding this wonderful opportunity.  I appreciate all your help and guidance through the entire process. I already have former colleagues asking me for your information, so I'm sure you'll have other qualified candidates to work with in the near future!”

- Christine, Administrative Assistant

"Paige McCrossin has been a complete professional in my dealings with her over the years.  Unlike some in the placement profession, Paige does not try to 'shoe horn' you into a position just to collect a fee.  She listens to your needs and preferences, as well as matching your skills to the needs of the prospective employers and then provides you with the potential positions that meet your criteria.  She helps prepare you for the interview by providing background information and personal insights that make the interview processs almost painless.   Post interview, she works with you to give you feedback, both good and bad, and acts as a non judgmental sounding board to help you with your decision making process.  After placing you in a position, she checks back in with you to make sure you are settling in and then keeps in periodic contact to make sure all parties involved are happy.  In closing, Paige is an absolute professional who keeps your needs in focus when you work with her.   I would not hesitate, and have not hesitated, to recommend her to friends and colleagues.

- Tom

“I would like to most sincerely thank you for introducing me to John Harrison. I have had the pleasure of working with him for several months now. Today he gave me the most wonderful news - that I will be starting tomorrow at prominent service company in Philadelphia!

Shari, since he is your co-worker, you are already aware of his talents.  I simply felt compelled to let you know how very much his professionalism and support have meant to me during my arduous job hunt. He is absolutely the very best of the best. Of all the recruiters I have spoken with and worked with, he stands far above them in customer service and sheer client understanding. In short, he's been just great.

Recently, I have become involved with several networking groups for professional job seekers. I have already given John's contact information to several fine people who, like me, have been frustrated in their job hunt. I know that if they work with John, or other recruiters from QUAD656, they will quickly discover the superior difference a true professional can make.

Finally, thank you again, Shari, for introducing me to John - and thanks to QUAD656 for helping me back into the work force!”

-Christine, Executive Administrative Assistant

“Chuck Logan, the way you approached the acquisition of this job was well thought out and had a strategy to it.  It wasn't just "let's throw your resume at them and see if it sticks" as is the philosophy of most recruiters.  You helped me position myself appropriately to show the hiring team how I would best meet their needs.  You followed up and verbalized any misgivings so we were able to address and counterattack them.

Your understanding of the interviewers and their objectives was key.  Going into the interviews I felt more confident because I knew what pitfalls to be aware of.  Your openness about your desire to get the best salary possible instilled trust and confidence that you were looking out for the best interests of all concerned.  Your follow-up after the interviews helped us evaluate the corporate climate and set me up for success.

Chuck Logan is a trustworthy asset to have on your side when seeking employment.  He has put a lot of effort into knowing his clients (both the employer and the applicant).  He is available for consultation and offers valuable assistance in the interview process and salary negotiations.  I would be happy to send applicants his way as I am sure they would be successful in their job search efforts with Chuck by their side."
