David is by far one of if not the best recruiter I have ever worked with in my career. David placed me at Holland Mark Advertsing 10 years ago. When I found myself in a similar situation in 2009, David was my first phone call in terms of discussing my career goals and opportunities that were currently available in the Boston market. David understands the discipline of marketing communications and not only acts as a recruiter for his clients but also as a consultant. He works very hard on behalf of his clients to ensure that the fit between employer and employee is the right one. He is available to answer questions and guide the process flawlessly. I’m pleased to have known David for over 10 years now.
Liberty Mutual Senior Marketing Communications Manager
David did a terrific job in helping us to identify strong marketing candidates within a very short timeline. He was extremely positive, professional, and responsive. He was able to ramp up quickly and really understood our goals for the search, which resulted in a successful placement for us. I look forward to working with him again soon!
Bain Capital Lead Recruiter
I met Dave several years ago while he was conducting a search for one of his clients. While the position was not right for me, he did take the time to understand my career goals and we kept in touch. Last year Dave told me that he had the perfect job for me – and he was right. Dave listened to what I was looking for and didn’t waste my time with jobs that were not right. During the process, he was very proactive in keeping me in the loop and advocating my candidacy. Whenever someone tells me they are looking for a job, I don’t hesitate to give them Dave’s contact information.

Recently I have had the pleasure of working with David and through my experience it is apparent that David is a true professional whomever he interacts with and is highly skilled at locating talent and building the connection between the job description and the right candidate. He is a perfectionist with an abundance of industry knowledge and is willing to do whatever it takes to find the perfect fit. One of the rare qualities in his profession is patience and Dave has lots of it to wait till both the parties are satisfied with the decision. I really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend him for services on both employer and employee side.

Sam’s Club Head of Corporate Communications
The more time you spend in your career, the more important relationships will become in securing your next role. In working with a recruiter you’ll gain access to opportunities that you might not otherwise know about. But, not all recruiters are the same caliber. What separates David from the average recruiter is his relationships with the companies and candidates he serves. David takes the time to really understand what each group is looking for and what success looks like. This has many benefits. First, companies see David as an extension of their team which means if David recommends you, hiring managers will gladly take the time to meet you. Second, David is a great mentor and his in-depth knowledge can help candidates vet opportunities and ensure a good fit.

David is one of the best recruiters around. As a candidate out in the market, David really looked after my best interests.

I highly recommend David to both employers seeking good people, and candidates looking for the right job.
