PRAISE FOR JIM GILREATH’S SKIN IN THE GAME SEARCHES

“Metapoint Partners has had a relationship with Jim Gilreath for more than 17 years. We have never experienced anyone who does a more thorough and complete evaluation of candidates. Gilreath Consultantcy has handled 24 searches for Metapoint Partners. We are happy to recommend his services without reservation.”

~Keith C. Shaughnessy, President & CEO of Metapoint Partners

“In all my years of corporate consulting, I have yet to meet an executive search professional with greater integrity, diligence, or expertise than Jim Gilreath. Jim understands that every new hire ultimately contributes either to moving a business forward or holding it back. We’ve collaborated successfully in a number of critical hiring situations for companies whose prior selection errors had been costly. Combining Jim’s careful, exhaustive search discipline with expert psychological assessment technology, we were able to hire by design rather than by chemistry.”

~David Pellegrini, Ph.D., Principal of The Global Consulting Partnership

“Gilreath Consultancy has many years experience in matching up high performance individuals with high performance opportunities. Jim’s process is extremely thorough for both the client and the prospective candidates. It ensures that the clients understand the candidates, the candidates understand the opportunity and both understand what is required for success. I know because I am a satisfied hired candidate.”

~Gregory J. Biederman, former President and CEO of Nylon Corporation of America

“Jim Gilreath’s tenacity in pursuing candidates, the thoroughness of his reference and work experience checks and his patience in seeking out only the most qualified candidates separates him from the other retained search firms with whom I have worked.”

~Peter Bransfield, former President of Altair Avionics Corp

“The strength of a Gilreath Consultancy search is in the defined process they use to assure a good match between the private equity company’s desires, the portfolio company’s needs and the candidate. As a placed CEO, Jim did a great job in making sure that my experiences and professional strengths were the right matches for Roscoe Medical. He did this through a variety of steps that included traditional, but thorough, search steps (e.g. references) as well as ones that seem to be unique to Gilreath Consultancy. While unique, they were valuable in completing the match between Roscoe and myself.”

~Paul J. Guth, President & CEO of Roscoe Medical, Inc.

“Jim Gilreath sets a very high benchmark for retained recruiters hiring C-level executives. I learned this as a candidate when I was hired as CEO by one of his private equity clients. Jim works to really know the human being behind the titles and marketing. In his process of revealing my life, from youth through my formative years and education, to reasons behind career choices and decisions, we both learned a lot about me. He is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with.”

~Bob McKinley, former CEO & President of Sidump’r Trailer Company

“I have been through the Gilreath due diligence process twice. The thoroughness of the process impressed me as a candidate. Doing the biography that Jim calls the “Indiana Jones” provided me with an opportunity to summarize my career in the most advantageous light; answering the detailed questionnaire Jim put together about the position I was being considered for was a great help in preparing for the in-person interview. Several of my references commented about how in-depth the reference checking process was (the most in-depth that any of them had ever encountered). From the candidate’s perspective, this meant that there would be no surprises, allowing you to concentrate on preparing for the interview process.”

~Wayne D. Pedlar, former General Manager of Tower Industries, Inc.

“As a CEO hire and beneficiary of Gilreath Consultancy services, I have never participated in a more comprehensive or thorough vetting process. At the end of the day, both the candidate and company will have all the information necessary to make an informed decision.”

~Timothy L. Friedel, former President & CEO of Stone Panels, Inc.
