“Frank understands our industry…”
“I’ve been in the LTC business for 35 years. As a Senior VP of Operations, I have built several companies ranging from 2M to 200M. Regardless of the size of the business, one of the biggest challenges was and continues to be: recruiting strong talent. I have been on the recruiting side most of my career and found it difficult to find a recruiter who was committed to understanding my company’s actual needs and spending the time to diligently find us, qualified candidates. Most recently Frank recruited me for a new position and he was just as diligent on this side of the table. I accepted the position and have again reached out to Frank to find my team the strongest talent available. He has presented me with several candidates which were all highly-qualified. Frank understands our industry like no other and has a highly-valued and productive Rolodex. When I have recruiting needs I do not hesitate in reaching out to Frank and I always have confidence Frank will deliver the results I need.”
–G. Duty, SVP of Operations
Frank Carieri is the best in the business…
“With his many years of experience and key insight and matured relationships with the top members of many different organizations, Frank has an exceptional ability for matching the perfect candidate to the perfect job situation. I have personally worked with Frank for many years both for recruiting and as a job candidate. Without Frank, I would never have had an opportunity to network with some of the highest-level members of large and esteemed organizations, or interview for opportunities to potentially join their teams. Frank takes the time to analyze and understand your desires as a candidate and works to find the right opportunity for you. When that opportunity arrives, Frank is quick to reach out and open the key doors that provide you the opportunity to interview. My personal growth and career acceleration would be impossible without Frank’s expertise, insight, and assistance.
From a hiring manager’s perspective, Frank also provides exceptional candidate resumes for his clients at times where it may be difficult for an employer to find the perfect candidate. He gets to know the candidate and uses his many years of experience to determine if and where it’s a good skill fit and organizational fit.
I cannot thank you enough Frank!”
