We Make Clients Happy

Chris Cole

Everyone knows that the search for a new role can be a long and arduous process.  Phil and the New Way Search team helped make that process a lot easier.  Phil had superb knowledge of the role in question as well as the company and industry as a whole which helped solidify my decision to pursue the opportunity. He also had the necessary connections and kept me updated every step along the way so I wasn’t constantly concerned where I was in the process.  Truly a class act and a joy to deal with Phil and New Way Search Partners.  I highly recommend New Way Search Partners to anyone seeking a new sales position.

Bill Beattie

During a very difficult transition in my career, I looked to Phil and Ted for both guidance and advice.  I was dealing with several recruiters at the time, and none gave me the time or attention provided by Phil and Ted. From interview preparation, to compensation negotiation, they focused on my needs, not theirs.  I could tell that they truly believed in me and my abilities, and they weren’t just trying to push me into any open position.  They took the time to listen to what I wanted, what would be the best fit for me and what I would be happiest with – and did they ever deliver.  Thanks to Phil and Ted, I’m at a company that I really believe in, and one that believes in me.  Put your trust in Phil and Ted, you’ll be glad you did!

Over the past 23 years, I have had the pleasure of working with Ted & Phil both as a candidate looking for a sales position and as an employee of Ted in multiple roles. They have assisted me with several job searches during which they have both showed the highest degree of integrity, skill, insight, and perseverance.  It is my honor to consider both Ted and Phil as accomplished business acquaintances and also great friends. I highly recommend New Way Search Partners!

In a sales career spanning 20+ years, New Way Search Partners is one of the very few recruiting firms I’ve partnered with while changing positions. Phil is very thorough in his approach, and has an excellent understanding of the companies and managers he represents. His preparation sets both the company and the prospective employee up for a successful process. By the time I had accepted my offer of employment, I felt as if I were working more with a friend than a recruiter.

This was the first time I have worked with a recruiting firm over my 25+ years in the channel business and I have to say, New Way Search has set the bar extremely high. Phil was an incredible asset in the entire process and his background in the technology industry as well as personal network paid off. His guidance throughout the interview process was invaluable and spot on. I can’t thank Phil enough for the assistance and follow-up at every stage of the process. Well Done!

I have worked with many recruiters, but none have been as professional as Phil”. He truly listened to what I was looking for with my search and made certain there was a career match. I have had the pleasure of working with Phil on several searches and I consider myself the fortunate one with those experiences.

Ted is one of the most detailed oriented and professional sales executives I have know in my career. I have had the pleasure of working with Ted as a peer as well as working for him as my sales manager. Ted has applied the same level of professionalism and attention to detail as an executive sales recruiter. When Ted placed me at my current position, he made sure that it was a mutual fit for my employer and myself. During the interview process Ted made sure that I was prepared during each stage of the process. I highly recommend Ted and New Way Search if you are considering a career change in software sales.

New Way Search offers a potent combination of industry expertise, contacts, and positions unavailable anywhere else, and a genuine desire to create a solid match between employer and employee. Their guidance and insight provided a successful placement and NWSP is definitely the first call I’d make if I was considering a strategic career move.

Lorraine Mann

Ted placed me at my current position, and I was extremely pleased with his high level of professionalism and his hard work throughout the entire process. Instead of simply matching my resume with an open position, he invested a considerable amount of time and effort into ensuring that the position and company were exactly right for me, and that I was exactly right for them. Ted is just not willing to place a candidate to fill a position, but to insure success for both the individual and the employer. That kind of integrity and commitment to long-term success are exceptionally rare. Ted is one of the best recruiters around, and it was a pleasure working with him.
