I have worked with Ed-Exec for many years. They have always worked closely with me to find out exactly what I am looking for in candidates for which I am recruiting.

I have been working with Ed-Exec Inc. for over 10 years. In this time, they have become a support system in my career choices and have provided guidance when needed with honest communication. I have appreciated their consistent professionalism throughout the years. I also appreciate the vast relationships they have developed in the higher education industry. Vincent and his team make your professional goals come first and truly listen to what you want to accomplish. They are selective about their partnerships and want to present you well to respectable companies. They negotiate on your behalf and become your biggest advocate during a very life changing event - changing careers. I highly recommend, if you want a search firm that puts your needs first and provides transparent communication during your career search - that you look into partnering with Vincent and his team. Alec Barman, am Ed-Exec Advisor, has been in my corner for over 9 years. I trust his judgement and take his guidance like I would a mentor. He is the best! He follows up consistently and has mad negotiation skills with a warm touch that is needed during your time of change. Thank you Ed-Exec for all you do for your clients!

New client but pleased with the results. Prompt, professional, got the job done. Every candidate he sent us was a good one and folks we likely would not have found on our own. Quite good with the communications and follow up. Recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed-Exec and I was thoroughly impressed. From the first conversation, I was met with professionalism and efficiency. Every aspect of their recruitment and negotiation process was managed with ease and I felt extremely comfortable allowing them to manage the job transition on my behalf. Should I need to make a career change in the future, I would not hesitate to utilize this firm once again.

My experience with Ed Exec was exceptional! I worked with Alec who was professional and knowledgeable, as well as being consistently responsive and attentive to my individual needs. Alec was the perfect catalyst, coach, mentor, and friend during my recent career transition. I am now in the job of my dreams and I could not have done it without him! I was incredibly grateful to have Ed Exec on my team throughout the process. I enthusiastically recommend Ed Exec to anyone looking for a new position or career change, or looking to recruit a new team member in the field or higher education. You’ll be in good hands.

Ed-Exec was extremely professional in my interactions with them. I found them to be honest in their communication and very prompt in responding. They provided good interviewing tips and reminders. They represented the companies well as they were knowledgeable about the organization and when they did not know something they found out and quickly disseminated the information. Definitely a firm I would recommend to any employer looking to find a quality recruiter and for those who need a proponent in landing a great position!

Vincent is a true professional. As a client for many years, I speak from experience when I say that Vince takes the time to get to know his client’s needs and the cultures of the organizations he supports. In my experience, Vince is adept at finding employees who have the necessary technical and soft skills as well as the cultural competencies required for an appropriate fit with our institution.
