Lander's success rate is astounding: more than 82% of the candidates placed are still moving up within the companies where Lander placed them five years ago.

"Thanks again for all of your help! I really appreciate the time you have spent coaching me through my job search. I had about 7-8 people helping me in the beginning; and your firm was the only one that stayed with me throughout. Going back to your analogy from yesterday pertaining to the Warriors, it would have been easy for me to become complacent in approaching my interviews, (and I was just about there), but under your leadership I was able to maintain my focus and not underestimate the value each organization brought to the table. I am looking forward to working with you for many years to come as I continue to build my career in the auditing profession. "

"I've recently had the pleasure of working with Caitlin McGaw and would like to take the opportunity of complimenting her exemplary service and knowledge of 'the business of' auditing. She truly adheres to Lander's philosophy - providing candidates with the best career advice. It's no wonder she was awarded Recruiter of the year."

"You scored the winning goal in sudden death overtime!!!!

"Thank you again for the great position you landed me. It is a perfect fit with my background and skill sets. Plus I get to work in the greatest city in the world, New York.

"Your services were above and beyond the call of duty and I am grateful to you. Looking forward to seeing you in the Big Apple.

"God Bless you"

"From the beginning of my association with your company, I have been consistently impressed with every member of your team with whom I've dealt. I do not consider the Lander team just as recruiters, but rather, I regard them as good friends, one of very few sources on whom I can always count for honest and substantiated advice, empathy when needed, and wise counsel in general. I have referred several people to Lander for career assistance and everyone of them has been pleased with the service they received."

"I just wanted to say a big Thank You! to everyone at Lander International. All the hard work and dedication on your part has really proven itself. I am so very happy to be back at work and am even more heartened that I have a job at a terrific company working with some very awesome people. I'm starting to feel stable with both work and home and I have all of you to thank. You all worked so hard on my behalf and I truly appreciate it. And you taught me a lot which means the world to me.

I love my new job. I had told you that a healthy work-life balance was important for me. You found me the perfect opportunity. Two weeks ago my department was forced to take the afternoon off and go race go-carts, play bumper boats and play laser tag. We're going to the zoo in September. Yes, they expect us to enjoy our work, have fun, play and play well with others. Just in the short time I've been here, I can see the team building effect it is having. We're getting to know one another, we're building trust and we're learning each other's skills and abilities and how we can use that knowledge to enhance our projects."

"I wanted to send you a note to let you know what a positive experience I have had dealing with the people at Lander International. As you may know, I have just been offered two very good positions because of Lander, one in Delaware and the other in Denver. I have accepted the position on the East Coast and will be starting there as a Vice President - Information Security next month."

"I have dealt with many recruiting firms and Lander is, by far, the best. All of the people I have dealt with at Lander have been exceptional. The Lander recruiter who handles the Southern Region submitted me for the interview in Florida. He provided assistance and encouragement that was second to none throughout this process. He was instrumental in negotiating for a job offer that was on par with the higher cost-of-living of the Northeast. He was concerned that I made the right decision for me whether it was for his job or the other. It was a difficult decision and I wish I could have said yes to both job offers. When he learned that I was not accepting his position, he did not make me feel like I had let him down. He only congratulated me. He is an outstanding member of your staff."

"The Lander team worked really hard for me. When I received the actual offer, I almost fell out of my chair. I never felt like anyone was pressuring me in any way to accept the offer. The Lander recruiters were always concerned that I made the decision that was right for me. This is a quality that is rare among recruiters."

"Lander is very fortunate to have people of this caliber working for them. I feel like the recruiters at Lander are friends that I can count on. I will definitely recommend Lander to friends that are in the job market, and will contact Lander first the next time that I am looking."

"In April of 2003, I started a new IT Audit Manager position with one of the nation's most renowned research universities in a location well known for scenic beauty and a fitness-oriented culture. This "dream" position would not have been possible without the assistance of Lander International and their fine team of recruiters.

"Lander is truly a nationwide recruiter. Each recruiter is assigned a different region of the country. They get to know the companies in their regions and the particularities of the region itself. To leverage their nationwide presence, the recruiters communicate regularly with each other about the opportunities and the candidates they are working with. Since I was considering many regions of the country, I had the pleasure of working with many of the recruiters.

"Even though 2002 was a slow year for employment opportunities, at least one of the recruiters at Lander would call me on occasion just to touch base, or help me revise my resume for better impact. No other recruiting firms I worked with kept in touch as often or provided me with as many potential opportunities as Lander. Many of the other recruiting firms were "one opportunity wonders." When I didn't get past the phone interview, I never heard from them about any other opportunities. I usually never heard from them at all! After first contacting Lander, it wasn't very long until I realized the futility of intensely searching the web for opportunities. Lander's recruiters were calling me with more and much better opportunities than anything I found on the Internet. Lander really distanced themselves from the other recruiting firms and the online job banks because of their coordinated, professional approach, their exciting opportunities, and their ceaseless dedication to finding the right position for me.

"The position that I did accept was not easy to secure because of the specific requirements that the client was looking for. If not for the dedication and insights of the Lander team's experience, I would not have this position. They were familiar with the client because of previous placements and understood the qualifications and unique type of person that the client was looking for. My Lander recruiter believed that I had the proper professional qualifications and that I possessed the personal traits that the client was seeking. However, it took him several phone calls, a few even on the weekends, to coach me and help me to be able to articulate who I really am and what motivates me. When the phone interview came, I was prepared. I was even more prepared for the on-site visit. The end result of all that work and preparation was a great job offer that I accepted.

"I really can't thank the fine recruiting professionals at Lander enough. If it weren't for their hard work and professional dedication, I wouldn't have had this opportunity in the first place, and if I did, I wouldn't have been prepared for the unique interview style of the client. I highly recommend the services of Lander International."

"This last January I was laid off and began immediately doing everything I could to return to the world of the employed. My efforts included contacting several recruiting firms, placing my resume on Monster.com etc., scouring corporate websites and sending out my resume like mad.

"One of the byproducts of my efforts has been an increased understanding of how different recruiting firms operate. Some firms act solely as resume shoppers, some use candidates just to find other job seekers, and a very few show a real interest in the people that they are trying to help find jobs.

"However, my experience with Lander International has been a wonderful exception to the norm. Lander is the only (and I mean only) recruiting firm that performed the job as I feel it is meant to be performed balancing the needs of the hiring company with the wants of the job seeker. There were several things my Lander recruiter did that no one else did. These included: spending a lot of time up front getting to know me so that she could not only identify companies that I would consider working for, but to be better able to tell those companies who I truly am and what I have to offer. This effort to ensure a mutual interest showed a respect for both sides of the hiring process that I have not experienced anywhere else.

"My Lander recruiter also put together a suite of references for me that were detailed and comprehensive. Not only did these references help paint a better picture of me to potential employers, it taught me a few things about myself that I didn't know. And finally she became a friend to me, adding a little bit of sunshine to the challenge of finding a new job. If everybody in other recruiting firms put forth the effort that she does, doing the job the way it should be done, I wouldn't be writing to single her out. Lander International is wonderful."

"The bottom line is that Lander International was successful in finding employment for me; I started work in May. Lander handled everything exceedingly well. The Lander recruiter found the employer and coached me through a tough, long, trying process. When I wavered and was thinking of taking another position, he convinced me to stick with it. I'm now glad I did."

"I will be forever grateful for the manner in which Lander handled my job search process. You made the whole process less stressful, a notable experience, and fun to say the least. You have an excellent team and you should be proud of them."

"Through your initiative, foresight, proficient guidance, and untiring efforts to achieve perfection in all phases of the interview process, I was able to land the job of my dreams. Your team inspired me to such an extent I was able to handle any interview with ease and the ultimate goal of getting the job. My association with your company is one that I will cherish for a long, long time."
