Client Testimonials

When I joined BP as VP Procurement & Supply Chain Management (PSCM), I was tasked with building a world class procurement organization. This transformation would involve turning over 40% of my staff and upgrading over 150 PSCM positions across five continents. I knew, in order to be successful, BP needed to partner with a search firm that was the best at procurement and supply chain. That’s when I turned to the Teldar Group. I had worked with Jeff Flannery previously as a candidate. He impressed me with his knowledge, professionalism, and expertise in the procurement and supply chain arena. I have worked with all of the brand name retained search firms in the past. However, none of them have the expertise, ability to evaluate talent, and the focus for execution like the Teldar Group does.

Before we even started our transformation, Jeff became an integral part of our team, attending strategy meetings in Houston, Bogota, & London. He helped us think about recruiting issues and challenges we would face to accomplish our aggressive hiring plan. His input is an integral part in BP’s resourcing strategy. Although we are only 18 months into a four year journey, the Teldar Group has already placed many of our senior PSCM executives that are making a significant impact to our organization. We could not be successful without the Teldar Group’s help. I look forward to our continued partnership.  E&P VP Procurement Supply Chain Management at BP

I have worked with many recruiting firms in the past for various Supply Chain positions. Teldar Group was by far the most professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. My first experience with the firm was during a search for a key Senior Global Category Lead. I worked with several other recruiting agencies over the course of six months in an attempt to find the right candidate. After, six months and 16 candidates later, I turned to Teldar. Within a week they identified four potential candidates, all which were top tier. We hired their first suggested candidate and have been nothing but satisfied since. Some firms claim to know Purchasing and Supply Chain functions, some firms claim to have an extensive database of qualified candidates and some firms claim to interact well with executive management. I can tell you from experience, Teldar is uniquely qualified and the best at all three!  Global Director of Supply Chain at WR Grace

We have our own HR recruiting group, however, Teldar found 4 of the top five candidates that made it to final interviews. The person I hired was identified by Teldar and is a top performer in our Strategic Sourcing group. I would like to have 5 more just like her.  Every candidate that Teldar brought forward were strong. Most of them ended up in my final interview group.  Teldar took care of all the details which was important since I had limited time to find a great candidate.  They took time to find out exactly what I was looking for and only brought me highly qualified candidates so that I did not have to waste time on interviews. They also prepared the candidates well.  Teldar was much more thorough in identifying my specific needs. They also brought highly qualified people who were well prepared for the interview and knew what we were looking for. The Teldar process was very detail oriented which made it easy, fast, and brought outstanding results.  Teldar is very knowledgeable about Strategic Sourcing; more so than other Sourcing specialist search groups I have worked with.  Global Strategic Sourcing Manager at Medrad

My relationship with Teldar had been one of client seeking new talent during our organization transformation while with my previous employer. I found the staff to be very professional and responsive in meeting my recruitment objectives. As a result of my satisfaction with the service level received as the hiring manager, when a family decision was made to relocate to a warmer climate, Jeff Flannery and the Teldar Group were my first choice to provide their professional services in matching me with a first class employer in an area that my family had identified as a very desirable place to live.

With an established robust placement process, I received timely responses following each phase of the process and was always provided a very good briefing in preparation for the next phase. Now that I am settled into my new job, the Teldar group is continuing to provide a superior level of service for me and throughout the company in the placement of highly skilled individuals in key positions. Jeff and the entire Teldar team, thanks for being the superb matchmaker on both fronts.  Vice President of PSCM at BP

I have worked with the Teldar Group as both a hiring manager and a job seeker. I have also recommended many of my colleagues to Teldar. The recruiting professionals bring a rare and unique understanding of the challenges in the ever changing world of supply chain management. This knowledge allowed them to get the right candidates in front of my team quickly. The fact that they understand the profession enabled me to fill this position with the perfect candidate.  Executive Director of Procurement at A. H. Belo Corporation

Teldar has delivered terrific procurement and supply chain search results for several of my clients. He is the ONLY firm I recommend to clients for several reasons.  There was a deep functional knowledge in procurement and supply chain: Jeff and his team know what the jobs really entail and what a really good candidate looks like from a CPO, VP or director to a front-linre buyer.  There was a rigorous, high-integrity process: Teldar does not cut corners. Hiring the right people is a serious business where the cost of making a bad decision can be enormous. They insist on and ensure rigor in their execution, but also that of their clients, and candidates. All parties have to function at a high level of discipline and integrity for the process to deliver value.  The team had candor and commitment and Teldar is absolutely committed to client and candidate success. This means being open and honest about expectations, compensation, interview performance and other aspects of the process—telling people what they want to hear or simply reinforcing what they believe ultimately leads to disappointments.  Founder and Managing Director at Tenzing Consulting

Mike Cassano was very helpful in reviewing my resume, and comparing it to a variety of positions known to Teldar. When I discussed different opportunities with him, he provided candid and frank advice on his perception of the role and how it compared either favorably or unfavorably to my career path and interests.  As time progressed, Mike provided frequent enough contact to let me know I was still in the pipeline, and made sure I was not lost in the mix among Teldar clients. Mike was not afraid to bring me more than one option at a time, ensuring the net was broadcast far enough to land a quality role. He sought information about my background as it related to each job so he could understand me and my knowledge, and represent me in a meaningful way to prospective clients or other career counselors at Teldar. I really appreciated that extra effort.

I was attracted to Teldar because of the number of quality career opportunities to which they seemed to have access. The most successful companies in Teldar’s line of business have more access to quality matches than others. I sometimes compare it to selling a house (an admittedly rough comparison). When I hire a realtor, I am looking for someone who has access to buyers – the house will sell itself if it matches the buyer’s needs. I just need my house to have a chance. Teldar did a good job of getting me in front of prospective buyers – hiring managers. Mike and Jeff did a great job of supporting me through the process and setting me up for the interviews (using the house selling comparison – giving me advice on making the house attractive to buyers).

I will recommend Teldar to prospective job hunters and plan to engage Teldar if at all possible when I need to staff my new organization.  Vice President of Supply Chain at Windsor Energy Resources, LLC

At a point in your career you often wonder if professionalism, integrity, honesty, and commitment is paying off for you. You may ask yourself am I in the right field, the right job, the right company? If these questions have plagued you and you have asked is it better out there… is there someone to trust to get me there… how do I get there…? And found that the normal recruiting firm finds a position and makes you fit… and you end up wondering is it really going to be better in a year… two… is this for me… I can say things are different at the Teldar Group.

I can honestly say being in the procurement and logistics business for nearly 15 years, that I have found drivers for success to be in great communication and firm processes based on people. The Teldar Group has incorporated these real world success tools into their recruitment efforts.

Thank you for all of your assistance with my recent job change. Your company was very professional and provided a great deal of valuable assistance with my job search. Not only did you provide me with an opportunity, you helped me brush up my skills prior to each of my interviews. You provided me with valuable advice and guidance throughout the interview process and I am certain that without this input I would not have secured this great opportunity.  Strategic Sourcing Specialist at Stone Energy

I felt that the Teldar Group did an excellent job of preparing me for the face to face interview with Enterprise. The packet that was sent out (including the STAR method) was well worth the read and I felt it helped me enormously in implementation. I have sent the packet to friends and co-workers who are also going through interview processes with other corporations. I felt the staff was courteous and always ready/available to assist.  Sourcing Specialist at TEPPCO

As a candidate, my experience with Teldar Group was a positive one ending in my acceptance of an attractive job offer which exceeded my expectations.  Teldar presented me to their client very professionally and throughout the interviewing process, offered just the right amount of representation while enabling me to interact one on one.  I recommend Teldar to anyone looking for professional representation in the Strategic Sourcing job market and would happily work with them again in the future.  Strategic Sourcing Manager at Paramount Farms

I very much enjoyed and valued my experience with Teldar Group. My recruiter did an excellent job of matching my experience and goals with his client’s requirements and expectations. I received various interview guides and tips which were helpful reminders of being prepared and making the best first impression. I was always kept informed during the process and was provided excellent communication about scheduled interviews and feedback. My job offer was 10% higher in salary than was originally communicated, which was refreshing that the recruiter did not exaggerate the opportunity!  Sourcing Manager at A. H. Belo Corporation

Working with Jeff and the Teldar team was a pleasure. They have an expertise in sourcing procurement professionals and specific to my case, was extremely knowledgeable in the marketing procurement space. Service orientation overdelivered expectations as they successfully guided me through the interview process at Nestlé.  Group Manager, Marketing at Nestlé USA
