"The thing I liked best about working with GRS is the pre-screening of candidates. GRS provides the right individuals for interviews who are qualified for the position" - Ted Frost - President
Voith 
"GRS presented pre qualified candidates who were then screened through a telephone interview. A face to face interview was only arranged with those candidates who fit our requirements and were likely to accept the position if offered. GRS quickly identified qualified candidates, and then served as a valuable link between the candidates. This ensured the position was only offered to a candidate we were happy with and who would accept the position." - Ron Wilson - Senior VP Sales & Marketing

“GRS listens to and understands what we are looking for in a candidate. With their detailed understanding of the industry they are able to find qualified candidates quickly, allowing us the ability to fill our positions quickly. Other firms do not listen to us as well as GRS. The candidates are often not qualified according to the job description laid-out from the beginning. The 45 minute interview with the hiring managers at the beginning seems to give GRS the edge.” – Marc Arnold – Human Resources at South Bend Controls

IBT 
“We believe that GRS was able to make contacts with people that we would not get to, which increased our ability to have a more successful search. We have used another firm in the past that worked on an hourly basis. We did not feel that we got to some of the better candidates because the individual did not have the stature that GRS does in the marketplace. “ – Mark Byrne – VP Sales at IBT

With GRS I could openly make the comments I wanted to and felt they were taken into account.” - Brandon Loftus – Business Unit Manager at ZF Industries

Fluid Handling
Service Pump & Supply 
“GRS found two very qualified candidates very quickly and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. My experience working with recruiters in the past is very limited so I was not sure what to expect going in. I can’t think of anything that GRS could do differently to better serve their clients. Overall, it was a very positive experience. I will use GRS for future hiring needs and recommend GRS to other hiring managers in the Fluid Handling industry.” - Scott Smith VP of Sales at Service Pump & Supply Co , Inc.

They seemed to truly understand our needs and the type of candidate we needed.” – Marty Moffat – VP Sales and Marketing at Cyril Bath Company

There is no comparison between GRS and any previous firms I have tried to work with (without success).” – Jim Carse – North American Sales Manager at Bijur Delimon
Seepex 
"GRS found two good candidates very quickly. They were much faster than other firms we have dealt with in the past. The recruiter we worked with is a bulldog, but in a pleasant way." - Mike Dillon - General Manager
"We are an aggressive, sales oriented company and have found it difficult to search for highly motivated sales professionals with a solid track record in our industry. GRS saved us time by prescreening and delivering candidates that met our criteria, thus ensuring the future success of seepex. The audio based references were helpful in reinforcing our decision." - David Heigl - Sales Manager
“Joe Bertolami has a good understanding of our hiring practices, our business and the pump industry, which makes it easier to communicate our hiring needs. Also, Joe is quick to respond to questions and supplies requested information in an efficient manner. Most other recruiting firms do not take the time to learn about our needs. Instead, they send resume after resume without really understanding the type of candidate we are seeking. Many other firms are "resume pushers" who submit resumes mined from online data bases. We enjoy working with Joe and appreciate the services he provides.” – Ginger Brooks – HR Manager at Seepex
Ingenuity IEQ 
"Aside from just working with kind and knowledgeable people, it just saves time, time, and more time! We do not have a dedicated recruiter/HR individual on staff. And our employees have other "day jobs" so, in essence, it distracts them from doing what they are best at! This brings me to the next point which is that the people who step in to fill the void are not educated, trained, or possess the skills necessary to pre-qualify candidates, etc. That's what GRS excels at!" - Lori Richardson - VP Finance
Flair Corporation 
"I have worked with a number of unprofessional recruiters, this was not the case with GRS. GRS worked at filling the position with tenacity. This was a difficult hiring situation due to a number of issues, although at no time did I feel that the level of service slipped. In fact it was the reverse, activity increased with each set back. GRS provided a spreadsheet of the candidates interviewed, potentials and ones contacted. This was a great reference to understand where we were in the process." - John Caris - VP Sales Administration
Roper Pump 
"GRS is very professional. They are very good compared to other recruiting firms that I have dealt with." - Richard Milsap - Human Resources Manager
Atlas Copco 
“I like working with Joe Bertolami. He follows up and always has good feedback. I feel that I can trust him, and that is really the most important thing. When he sends a resume to me, he also sends their salary expectation and reason for being open to a new opportunity. Joe was extremely helpful through the whole process, from finding the right candidate to helping us close the deal. He always performed.” – Stewart Friddle – Sales Manager at Atlas Copco
Kaeser Compressors 
“The GRS recruiters understand our industry and what we are looking for in an applicant’s background. We don’t need to spend time educating GRS on our product/industry.” - Lauren Trievel – HR Manager at Kaeser Compressors
Sundyne Corporation 
“GRS did a good job listening to my requirements and bringing me qualified people. This significantly reduced my stress level and the amount of time needed to hire a new employee. “ – Keith Thompson – Sales Manager at Sundyne Corporation
ProcessFlo 
“When the first hire turned out to be less than what he presented himself to be during the interview process and quit, GRS worked diligently to find a more suitable candidate.” – Doug Vagell – Owner of ProcessFlo
Sulzer Pumps 
“Your evaluation of our needs with thorough questions and follow up helped to identify the successful candidate.” – Tony Fandetti – Sales & Marketing Manager at Sulzer Pumps
Sihi Pumps 
“GRS keeps us informed of their progress throughout the search process. They have a good understanding our business which helps in the selection process. They provide us with what we generally feel are quality candidates, in a timely manner. We are very pleased with our first hire, one of our best employees. We have just hired our third and are very optimistic we will have a similar result with this individual.” – Janet Astins – Human Resources Manager at SIHI Pumps
Dresser ROOTS 
“GRS was very attentive. It showed that some thought went into matching the candidate and their skills to the opening. We were given three candidates who all had good experience and fit to our very special (broad and varied) needs. I was impressed with GRS. I admit that I have had minimal exposure from a hiring side of these things - this being my second time. This was handled much better than my other experience with another firm.” – Ron Kelly – National Sales Manager at Dresser ROOTS
Wilden Pump 
“GRS eliminated the need to wade through many resumes of unqualified candidates. GRS accessed candidates that were not searching for a new position and would not have been available to us.” – Greg Duncan – Engineering Manager at Wilden Pump

"GRS was able to bring good people to me without the need for me to weed through a bunch of resumes." - Mike Klarner - Operations Manager

John seems to find more qualified candidates than other firms. He also is much more aggressive than other firms' individuals.” – Dom DeBaggis – West Coast General Manager at Rotork
Swagelok 
“With GRS, a team approach is taken to fulfilling on recruiting needs. I had multiple points of contact within the GRS organization depending on what stage of the process we were in with candidates. They offered best practice concepts I had not considered to aid in landing us a currently employed individual. GRS made a very professional presentation upfront on their recruiting capabilities, and the process GRS employs led to qualified candidates in a short timeframe. GRS pushed our organization as well as potential candidates at the right pace for the process, and we are excited that the candidate we landed has potential to be a long-term valued associate within our organization.” - Brian Stevenson – President of St. Louis Fluid System Technologies / Swagelok St. Louis
K-Tek 
“I was most satisfied with the way John Rachel listened to our requirements for the posted position as it related to experience, travel requirements and range of salary, etc. He then worked to find only those candidates that fit into what we were looking for so as to not waste time. I appreciated that. Most recruiting firms like to throw many candidates at you with the hopes you find the right one in the stack....or should I say, the best of that bunch. That is why we have stayed away from most recruiters in the past.....thanks to the GRS team for being different!” – Rick Ayers – VP Sales at K-TEK

Parker
"GRS brought qualified candidates in a timely fashion. In my situation, I was presented with 7 candidates of which 2 were highly qualified, 2 were not considered and the others were close to what we were looking for. The quality of candidates was much higher than I expected. The time in which they were found and the planning/scheduling of interviews was especially helpful. “– Cliff Austin – Sales Manager for Parker Automation Group
