What Our Clients Are Saying

"When working with a search group, the most important things to us at FirstMerit are results, credibility, integrity, responsiveness, and a strong customer service focus. Carlson Search Group scores high in all five categories. Gregg's careful attention to our needs has helped his firm successfully interview and place candidates time after time. His firm is truly an extension of our company. Because Gregg remains involved in the research and the interviews, when we sit down with him to discuss the candidates, he can always offer important additional insights. And, when I ask CSG for something, I know I'll get it. They abide by time constraints, know our business inside and out, and are entirely reliable. We have a consistent, trustworthy consultant, and we plan to continue that relationship." Executive Vice President for Human Resources, FirstMerit Bank

“Our experience with the Carlson Search Group was highlighted by their exceptional professionalism. They established excellent credibility with the hiring executive, were very knowledgeable within their industry sector, and provided timely, quality feedback throughout the duration of the search. I was placed by CSG myself, and I am pleased to share that the entire process went well, from vetting my experience, to coordinating the initial interface with their client, to finalizing the details of the employment offer. Then, from the other side, I selected CSG to complete a search for us. The search was a great success and reinforced the confidence I have in Gregg, his firm, his credentials and work ethic. Having sat on both sides, I trust Gregg and greatly value his firm. I felt that CSG struck a perfect balance in their obligations to both client and candidate in both scenarios.” Director of Staffing and Associate Relations, Jackson National Life Insurance Company
