#1 As a busy HR Manager for an organization that has over 13,000 employees
in 70 locations, I rarely have the time to personally screen candidates for open job requisitions at the corporate headquarters. I often retain Linda to do the initial candidate qualification and interviewing work
for us so that I and my front line managers can focus on making strategic decisions instead of weeding through resumes.
Since 2006, our corporate offices have hired 40 new employees that were sourced by SearchBuddy. The position descriptions Linda filled were varied and included positions in Accounting, IT, Transportation,
Customer Service and Legal.
In situations when Linda was not familiar with a specialized role or its technical requirements, she brought herself
up to speed quickly in order to accurately identify viable candidates for us.
Linda’s ability to discern a candidate’s potential and fit for a position has resulted in a tremendously
successful partnership over the years. Linda is a reliable and trusted vendor
and her opinions on candidates are valued and respected by my front line managers.
If you are overwhelmed by candidate volume or in a time crunch and need a service that you can trust to qualify candidates
accurately and in a way that fulfills your needs, I would highly recommend SearchBuddy.

#2 Since 2000, Linda Tindal of SearchBuddy has successfully
completed over 25 hiring projects for our firm. I continue to recommend her to my senior management when they have a need
to fill. All of them enjoy working with her and are able to rely on her judgement and feedback when making hiring decisions. Director,
Human Resources US Hdqtrs Payment Processing Solutions, GA
#3 Over the past three
years, we have used SearchBuddy to help us with a tremendous variety of openings, including a Chemical Applications Engineer,
Warehouse Manager and Marketing Manager. Linda’s ability to discern a candidate’s potential beyond the immediately
obvious has resulted in a 100% success rate using her service. HR

Early in 2004, our organization began a period of growth and expansion following a merger in 2003. As the Manager of Corporate Human Resources in an organization that had doubled in size during the last
6 months, the demands on my time were extreme. I needed a reliable, cost effective
recruiting solution and a resource I could trust to work with minimal input from me due to my schedule. Since we had used Searchbuddy successfully in the past, I turned to Linda for assistance. Linda’s attention to detail and broad range of recruiting knowledge enabled her to accurately identify
high quality candidates for a wide array of positions. In addition, I felt comfortable allowing Linda to interface directly with our hiring managers
while I was traveling, knowing that she would keep me in the loop and display professionalism and integrity. Searchbuddy’s candidate qualification services have been an invaluable resource for my managers and
me. Director, HR Manufacturer, Headquarters, GA
#5 My business relationship with Linda began
in 2004 when I was HR Manager of one of the largest paperboard converting facilities in North America. Since then, I have repeatedly engaged Linda to assist me when our manufacturing plant has needed to fill
a managerial or supervisory role that we felt could be successfully filled through an internet posting.
Since 2004, my facility has hired 9 employees through SearchBuddy for various process engineering
and production supervision positions. In the manufacturing field, there are a
tremendous number of supervisory candidates available for hire with qualifications that look very similar on paper. Often, it is difficult to differentiate one candidate from another.
During the telephone interviewing process, Linda evaluates the candidate’s work ethic and determines their potential
to be a cultural fit with our highly process improvement driven organization. This
ability to go beyond simply “credentialing” a candidate has generated trust in Linda’s judgment and we often
rely on her to evaluate employee referral candidates as well as those sourced from the internet posting. She delivers great value to our organization. HR Manager, Manufacturer in GA

Since 2005, my facility has hired 4 supervisory level employees through SearchBuddy.
Because we are located in Ohio, a part of the country that has experienced economic downturn as a result of failing
automakers, there are an extremely large amount of people on the job market. This
makes the task of sorting through resumes overwhelming when we need to hire a supervisor.
Linda “stands in the gap” for me and fields the high volume of email response to our posting, screening
the resumes to find good fits. She also conducts the preliminary interview for
us, narrowing the group down even more so that when we meet the candidates she recommends, we can be assured that we are looking
at the cream of the crop. I find
her services to be a great time saver and highly recommend SearchBuddy if you are seeking to streamline your hiring process!
