President and Chief Executive Officer for a Health Risk Contract Management Company in NJ

"Having utilized their services with very positive results in my previous company, I invited them to help our rapidly growing and changing organization to identify and leverage the unique productive talents of our leadership team.  First they helped us to establish a clear and common understanding of what the most critical performance expectations were for each of our senior team members.  Next they conducted highly-structured, personal interviews and administered objective assessment instruments with me and my team members.

The process provided us with a wealth of critical information about each person along with practical suggestions about how to align their primary responsibilities with their unique strengths and interests to maximize their productivity within the organization.  The Synergy Organization offered specific recommendations to facilitate each person's professional development.  It is important to note that these services were performed in a confidential, professional, and expedient manner and were well-received by all involved.  

As a result of these services, we have already seen some significant improvements in communications, productivity and professional relationships that exceeded our initial expectations.  On the basis of my positive experiences with The Synergy Organization, I would highly recommend their services to any organization that is serious about maximizing its leaders' performance."

President and CEO of a Hospital in North Carolina

It is a pleasure to write this letter of reference for The Synergy Organization regarding the search your firm conducted for our hospital for a Vice President of System Development.

The Synergy Organization was referred to me by a trusted colleague. Our hospital needed a firm that would not only forward resumes to us, but guide us in the selection process. We found your company to have excellent credentials, with an extensive network for achieving the best results in an expedient manner. Your firm was very responsive to our needs and helped us establish clear expectations for the executive level professional needed for our hospital.

We were impressed with your Synergy Screening System® that utilizes proven behavioral profiles and structured interviews to objectively match and recommend candidates who would best fit with our organization’s needs. Within one month of beginning the search process, the right person for us was identified. The Synergy Organization saved us time, costs, and the frustration often associated with screening applicants.

Overall, we were very pleased with the first-rate services provided by your firm and the communications maintained throughout the entire recruitment process.

Should there be another opportunity for placement in our organization, we would certainly contact The Synergy Organization.

Finally, you and your team made what can often be a tedious process just plain fun.

Chief Nurse Executive, Health System in Maryland

Just about a year ago, we engaged the services of The Synergy Organization to search for a Director of Perioperative Services. I chose your organization based on recommendations from colleagues at other hospitals and your excellent track record of providing well-qualified candidates for other management roles within the Health System. Despite your caution that Perioperative Services is often a very difficult search, you were able to find the perfect candidate in far less time than we anticipated.

Our "new" Director of Perioperative Services has now been with us for approximately nine months. I am extremely pleased with the performance of this individual and the way in which she has adapted to the Health System. I believe that her unique experience working within a two-hospital system made a tremendous difference in her ability to "hit the ground running" at the Health System. Truly, all of your focus on listening to the needs of your clients and finding a candidate that will be a great fit for the individual organization pays off! I believe that the time that you invest in screening and profiling candidates prior to presentation is both effective and an efficient use of valuable time.

Thank you, Ken, for all your efforts to make our engagement a positive one. I appreciated the constant communication from you and your staff to ensure that we were satisfied throughout the process. Based on my experience, I’d be happy to recommend Synergy to my colleagues and will certainly call you when I have future critical management needs!
