Working with Dylan and the Kalmar team totally exceeded my expectations. They have saved my team countless hours and have produced candidates that fit my organization's culture and specific job requirements.  My company's success is the bi-product of our people and we lean heavily on Kalmar for our people. Kalmar is the most outstanding search firm that I have worked with over the past 25 years because of their commitment to excellence in everything they do.

I engaged Dylan to find our new marketing manager just 22 days before some extended time out of the office. I thought for sure we'd have to hold off until I returned. Nope! Dylan crushed it and found us the *perfect* person. I had a signed offer letter on my desk a week before leaving. The entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient. Highly recommend you reach out to Dylan if you're hiring for executive roles at your small business.

We had to quickly find a long-term leader who could hit the ground running in order for the business to not feel a lapse. Within a tight timeline, the Kalmar Group was able to share the company’s story and opportunity with a wide range of candidates, present a handful of qualified candidates to the decision-makers, and enable us to extend an offer to the best fit. The Kalmar Group’s ability to read people – not just resumes – put us in touch with candidates who were likely to fit into our “family” environment and excel in their positions.

Dylan exemplifies what it means to be a true leader, is not afraid to get in the mud, and encourages teamwork that drives anyone on his team to be better, and learn from one another. If you are looking for a leader, who drives numbers, serves as an example, and generally cares about his team, Dylan is your guy.

Dylan is a winner, plain and simple. He was instrumental in building our recruitment strategy and culture. He understands the complex dynamics of recruiting and how to build relationships internally and externally. I enjoyed my time working with him and would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with him again in the future.

I've dealt with many recruiters over the years. Dylan was the first one to actually deliver. Most recruiters work on a role or simply trying to fill a seat and will even try to fit a square peg into a round hole. Dylan got to know my skills, goals, and interests and matched me with an opportunity that aligned with all of that. I cannot recommend him enough!
