TESTIMONIALS

As our tag line, “Executive Search Built on Relationships”, says, our client and candidate base comes from those relationships.  Here’s what they’re saying:

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

“The Devoto Group has been one of our primary sources for talent. They are adept at listening to our needs, providing guidance, and engaging candidates from outreach through post-employment. They consistently have been able to fill key product management, product marketing, and systems engineering roles at an expedited pace and with stellar hires. They have worked with us over the past 3 years and we value their services. I would recommend Jeff and his team to any high tech company looking to build out sales and marketing teams.”

Scott Gordon, Chief Marketing Officer, Pulse Secure
Sonatus

“I have worked with The Devoto Group for over a decade. Jeff helped me land my first VP role as VP, Product Management at Citrix Systems, where he also placed many product managers and product marketers. I heartily recommend The Devoto Group if you are looking for your next, great product management hire, or opportunity. In fact, I recently retained Jeff and his team to fill a key product management role at Sonatus. Also, they sponsor and host an excellent luncheon program — which I have attended many times and thoroughly enjoyed the discussions with the featured guest and other executives.”

Troy Trenchard, Chief Product Officer, Sonatus, Client

Whether you are looking for a job or planning to hire for your team, I would highly recommend Jeff.”

“The Devoto Group did a fantastic job in bringing in our VP, Marketing. Working on a retainer, The Devoto Group was very professional and brought us two quality candidates within the first week and continued to present highly qualified applicants throughout the process. We filled the position within 60 days and couldn’t be happier with the quality work from Jeff and his staff. The winning candidate has been doing a stellar job over the past 9 months and has proved to be a critical hire for Pulse Secure. I would highly recommend The Devoto Group if you are looking to fill a key executive level marketing or product management role on your team.”

“This guy is a Legend! He is an excellent hire, already providing some great ideas for product development and direction, and I am very pleased that we have him on board. Thanks go to you and your team that helped to secure the hire.”

Miles Martin, Sr. Director, Pulse Secure, Client

“Working with Jeff at the Devoto Group was an exceptional experience. From the initial contact, to follow up calls even after starting my new role, Jeff moved the candidate experience to a whole new level. His questions were well thought out and relevant to the role, and I felt that my 1st interview would be a positive experience. It was. His follow up calls added a personal touch that is rare these days. After working with Jeff on the candidate side, if I find myself looking to source a great fit from the hiring side, Jeff is the 1st and only call I will make.”

Sterling Gee, Systems Engineer, Zix Corporation, Candidate
