Other Testimonials

Brent Furse | President & Chief Executive Officer, GeNO

“The first time The Medicines Company (~$1B) used Jackson Stevens was in 2013. Candidates landed within 120 days. Now The Medicines Company uses Jackson Stevens exclusively for any high-level transitions for multiple executives, all of whom were very complimentary of the outcomes.”

Kevin Hornish, SVP, Talent Acquisition, QBE North America (Insurance Industry)

“Most accomplished executives don’t build their careers by honing their résumé writing, interview, and job-seeking skills; they do it by delivering results. If you want to be absolutely certain you want to be presented to the market in the best possible way, engage Jackson Stevens.”

Dr. Naoki Sawada, Assistant Professor (University of Chicago Medicine & Award-winning R&D Executive)

“It is difficult for non-medically trained people to grasp many of the scientific and academic aspects during an interview. I was able to articulate my experiences in both arenas in such a way that employers could understand, regardless of their background, and I have achieved great results.”

Joe Coffey, Vice President, Alere Inc. (Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry)

“Jackson Stevens has an arsenal of vast experience, and the team at Jackson Stevens are “wizards.” If you want to differentiate your candidates and make it easier for hiring executives and top-shelf recruiters to find them, Jackson Stevens and their executive job search coaching services are an essential part of your strategy. It is a good investment.”

Jason McCleish, Azure Cloud Senior Executive, Microsoft (Technology Industry)

“Jackson Stevens has been an incredible asset in many areas. They are experts in advanced résumé and LinkedIn strategies using the 7-dimensional construct. They have a charismatic approach to executive coaching and are the consummate professionals who know how to get C-Suite candidates in front of the executive search industry.”

Shaun Jacob, Chief Revenue Officer, Ortholive (Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry)

“We conducted exhaustive research and found that firms focused on resume, interview, and networking, not marketing. We chose Jackson Stevens and couldn’t have been more pleased with the final result. They have the same services as others, but also connect the candidate to top executive search firms, which shortened transitions. We give Jackson Stevens our highest recommendation!”

Jeff Sandbothe, Chief Executive Recruiter, GRN of Lake St. Louis

“I have had the pleasure of working with Dean on several executive searches, and he has done an impeccable job. The Jackson Stevens 7 Dimensions have been instrumental in allowing my executive candidates to fully understand and communicate the value they have delivered throughout their careers. By having a résumé that speaks to the client’s needs, I have a candidate that outshines the competition, allowing the discussion to move to matters of substance, and away from a “résumé review.” Dean’s résumé & candidate preparation, vast network of executives across industries, and executive search experience combine to create a significant value-add to the services I provide my clients and candidates. The proof is in the profit.”

Denis Bilodeau, Managing Partner, GRN Bridgewater | Healthcare

“I wish I would have had the good fortune of meeting Jackson Stevens about 10 years ago. The clarity and succinctness of the Jackson Stevens 7 Dimensions and how it conveys the quality and talent of candidates I submit to employers is unmatched. Employers find out up-front, before even meeting the candidate, that he/she can do the job and how well. That means more interviews, more placements, and more revenue. It’s refreshing to finally have met someone who writes résumés and presentations and who is also an expert on executive search. If you are an executive or leadership candidate reading this and need a referral, please contact me. I will be happy to connect you.”
