Testimonials

"I know you always lean toward representing the client but I felt you were representing my best interests too and kept me focused on the big picture. I appreciated your frank and honest consultation throughout it all."

Jim Shaffer, placed candidate at Tosoh America, Inc.


bullet"Our company has struggled for many years to recruit and retain key management personnel, so when we had a critical need to find a General Manager, I decided to consider the retained search approach. A member of our Board of Directors recommended The ASLON Group based on his positive experience and, after meeting with Tim Smith, we selected them for this search.

I found the process to be much more focused and directed than what we had experienced previously with contingent searches or personal referrals. Tim helped us recognize the job characteristics that were most critical to this position and as the search progressed, our clarity about what we really wanted improved continually. Tim provided a truly professional dimension that our relatively small company simply does not possess.

I am pleased to say that we did fill the position, and we are extremely satisfied with our new General Manager. I would not hesitate to use The ASLON Group again and would recommend them for any position matching their areas of focus."

Joe Wright, CEO, Master Chemical


bullet"The Board of Directors were becoming frustrated in our efforts to find a new Chief Executive Officer who could lead us with conviction and commitment into the next 100 years of the bank. After we hired the ASLON Group to conduct the search, we realized that it was their process we were buying not their results. They were not a search firm with an extensive rolodex of senior bank executives, but rather an industry generalist who knew how to identify, assess and deliver high caliber leaders through their effective process. The ASLON Group's ability to build relationships quickly with us, prospective candidates and most importantly the finalist brought us the results our search committee was demanding. Their consultative, objective process was executed beyond our expectations and the results were phenomenal. Dan Klimas is our new CEO who is providing a vision that has everyone excited about our future. I would not hesitate to hire ASLON again for a senior executive search."

James R. Herrick, Chairman, Lorain National Bank Board of Directors


bullet"We had been engaged with another search firm that was providing us readily accessible, mediocre candidates. In our effort to gain momentum and raise the bar, we retained the ASLON Group who we knew would invest the time to find and qualify the candidates that our hiring process could not. They assessed these candidates with an outsider’s perspective and broadened our view. We could not be happier with the service provided and the results obtained. ASLON delivered a candidate beyond our expectations by allowing us to select from several great finalists."

Richard Hipple, President, Brush Wellman Alloy Products


bullet"I received world-class service from Tim and was impressed with his search team's collaboration and professionalism."

Jeffrey Tarr, CEO Hoover's, Inc.


bullet"Tim offers good personalized attention and advice beyond just the search."

Josef Mandelbaum, CEO, American Greetings.Com


bullet"Tim's search style is highly focused and dedicated to the client. He did not try to complete the sale without understanding the true needs of our company first."

Bathsheba Malsheen, CEO, Voxware, Inc.


bullet"Tim's search style is reliable, methodical and process-oriented with strong communication skills. His ability to communicate effectively with the candidates and with me on an international basis helped facilitate the projects."

Ken Holec, past CEO of ShowCase Corporation, currently SPSS


bullet"Overall, with Tim's thoroughness and Shirley's excellent support, the ASLON team is a strong one with a pragmatic, thorough approach to a retained search.

Phil Rapp, Dir. of HR, Tredegar Film Products
