Testimonials

Tom Kennedy

Vice President of Human Resources at SunSource

I strongly recommend Mark Bregman and Boyle Ogata Bregman! Mark has partnered with us on many assignments over the past 15 years and has always been the most thorough, insightful and productive search partner. Mark’s services go beyond executive recruitment; having sent two recruiters to LA to learn from Mark. To this day, I am convinced that their success is due in part to the direction and coaching they received from Mark.

Mark is a true professional who is open, honest and able to help you identify your needs, beyond what you may have thought were your needs!

Thanks Mark

I enjoyed working with Mark. He didn’t lose patience with us when we wanted to keep looking for more candidates, was always available and answered all our questions, his evaluations were spot-on and insightful, he worked hard to understand our needs and find the right candidates and he was always professional in his communications.

Reading your newsletter, I am in full agreement with how you describe your methodology, and the messages that Mike and Mark put forth in the video-you guys are the best in the business. We would not have achieved the performance levels that we did (in the time that we did) without the talent that your firm delivered. Let me express my gratitude at this time for your professionalism and your commitment to excellence.

CEO – Aerospace Component Mfg.

I have known Michael Boyle and the BOB team for a few years and I have found them to be very professional and they produce results! Their Search System is extremely effective and provides client companies the confidence that they are hiring the Right person for the Right role. I recently used BOB for a senior level role in our division and BOB commenced an exhaustive process that produced multiple qualified candidates (after vetting many others) and we ultimately extended an offer to one of the candidates which was accepted.  BOB was very diligent in ensuring they fully understood ALL the job requirements and the particular skills we were looking for in the candidate. They have a large network to draw from and this instilled confidence in myself and my staff that they had access to the total candidate pool.  The whole experience was VERY positive and I would recommend BOB without qualification. They are a true partner and can really help a business take the next step toward excellence.

I have known Michael for several years now, having sat on both sides of the table; from both a potential hiring, as well as a personal job relocation perspective.  Michael is a professional, and treats his contemporaries and clients in the same manner.  I hold Michael in the highest regard, and would recommend him and his company’s services without question.

Chief Executive Officer- Aerospace holding company for various aerospace companies

The team at BOB Search are expert headhunters in the Aerospace/Aviation industries, in addition to other technical sectors. I know from firsthand experience that this firm is exceptionally thorough on research and performance fit. Highly recommended; we’d consider it a privilege to work with them again.

Owner- Investment Banking/Corporate advisory firm

I have used executive search firms for C-level retained searches for over twenty years. Without a doubt, Boyle Ogata Bregman stands in a league of its own. I have never before received the level of responsiveness, intelligence, practical advice, and rigor they deliver in their process. Where many other firms go through the motions, seek “low-hanging fruit,” and hope something sticks that will generate a fee, Boyle Ogata Bregman digs in and does the hard work necessary to find the optimal candidate for the position. And they deliver phenomenal results. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Simply put, they are the best.

SVP Sales & Marketing – Aircraft Ducting/Vent Mfg.

During my tenure as the Sr. VP Sales & Marketing, I hired Mark for a total of 10 searches for positions at the Vice President, Director and Senior Manager level from 2003 to 2006. Mark was already familiar with the industry, and rapidly gained a solid understanding of us including the organization, strategy, and key goals and objectives. This gave Mark an excellent feel for the type of individual we were looking for, enabling a very efficient search process. Mark was able to consistently connect with the top companies in the industry, and all searches culminated in the hiring of high caliber talent. I highly recommend Mark Bregman.

Robert Wentlejewski

Senior Director Engines Product Center Site Leader

I am writing this paragraph for the purpose of recognizing a team of professionals for superior customer satisfaction. My experience was so good; I wanted other professional to have the same opportunity I had, which lead to being completely satisfied and impressed by the support I received from the Boyle Ogata Bregman Executive Search Team. The team represented itself in the most professional manner possible; the quality of the staff I dealt with, from Michael directly, through the organization, left the impression that both my professional and personal interests were their number one objective. They were genuinely concerned about my professional and personal objectives and not looking to just “MAKE A DEAL.” They were not looking to place a candidate in a position that would not be mutually beneficial to both parties in the future. Their goal was to make the organization and the employee both equally satisfied within the new the partnership, a win-win relationship for all. What really differentiated the team from others was the level of integrity and confidentiality the team operated within. At the end of the day, I walked through all the events that had occurred and was so satisfied with the outcome and results I could not have been happier. The difference is the team cares about its clients…… with that type partnership you don’t lose, you’re always a winner.

Mark is a highly respected builder of teams, organizations and businesses. I have been very pleased to do volunteer work with Mark in the area of teaching business people how to build great management teams. As a presenter and a teacher/coach, Mark is always in top form.

David Crivelli

Manager Sales and Marketing at Eaton

I would like to take this opportunity to endorse Mark Bregman as a leader in the recruiting industry. As an Executive Vice President in the Aerospace Industry, I turned to Mark to recruit key roles within my organization. Mark brought a process that resulted in clearly defined needs which ultimately led to excellent hires.

Mark Fogel

Vice President, Wireless at Websense Inc.

I was a candidate for a search Mark was leading. Having been a target candidate for a number of executive recruiters, I found Mark stood out for his exceptional understanding of his client and the position requirements, his candid feedback every step of the way, and his valuable advice as the process progressed.

I am pleased to provide my strong endorsement of Mark. I have known Mark for about seven years, having met as members of Tech Coast Angels. He has a keen understanding of the impact of business culture on a company’s success, the development of strong management teams and how to recruit the right individual for a key position, and equally important, how to avoid the costs of hiring the wrong individual. I have worked with Mark in several different settings and have always learned from and enjoyed the association.

Robert Kelle

Mark is a true professional and his approach allowed me to paint a clear picture for what I wanted out of a career change. Mark made the process painless and I would recommend him to friends and colleagues.

Strategic Account Manager at Endevco

Mark was retained by Endevco to acquire Key Account Managers for Endevco, a leading world-wide manufacturer of critical environment sensing products. He was instrumental in my decision to join Endevco. Mark’s background & knowledge provided expert advice on exactly how to go about securing this position. I would highly recommend Mark to any company and would not hesitate to utilize his services again.

Darron Collins

Mark is an extremely professional recruiter. In addition to placing me, he worked very hard to make sure I was comfortable with the Company and the position before the placement. I would recommend Mark Bregman to anyone looking to find the best person for the job. I would also recommend him to anyone with a desire to make a positive career move.

Patrick Park

Sr. Director, Business Development at Emcore Corporation

Michael Boyle served as our sole search professional for executive staffing for the former Tecstar Corporation. Michael brought to our team, numerous industry contacts and a reputation earned as being the lead executive search professional supporting the Northrop Grumman B-2 program during this projects key formative years.

Michael and his team keenly understood and bridged the gap between very large multi-national enterprises and high technology VC supported growth entities. Eight or more significant searches were successfully closed covering various aspects of the executive staff from VP/GM candidates to sales, marketing, contracts and program management.

Michael conducted his activities on our behalf with the utmost of discretion and privacy. His preparation to assure a successful search is impressive and his follow-up both with the successful candidates and the client after the close served to build both confidence in his process and his commitment to long-term success.

I recommend Michael Boyle without reservation.

VP of Human Resources & Organizational Development – Aerostructure Mfg./MRO/Spares

Being a Vice President of Human Resources for over 30 years and being with three fortune 100 companies, it was evident to the successful key executives that I worked with during these years, that selecting high-performance team members to the company was one of the most important tasks we as executives “must do” to effectively manage and profitably grow our business. In all my years of using recruiters (headhunters), retained and contingency, only one firm continually provided “A-team” executives on an ongoing basis; the retained firm of Boyle, Ogata Bregman. This firm found these talented individuals through a highly effective search, interviewing and screening process that measured past performance, followed by a thorough background and reference check. Thank you, Boyle Ogata Bregman for being our out sourced business partner that gives us a tremendous return on our investment.
