Testimonials

Scott Healy

SVP Structured Finance

“I was extremely pleased with the work Seth did in representing my business unit on some retained search engagements for Vice Presidents and Senior Financial Analysts of Structured Finance. Seth did a thorough job of identifying qualified and interested candidates on a timely basis, of clearly describing the job requirements of the target positions to those candidates and of providing critical feedback from the candidates.”

 

Louis Rivera

Vice President of Estimating & Bidding

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Seth De La Riva. I have been in the industry 32 years and have worked with numerous recruiters over the years. Seth was different. From the start I felt that my best interests were also Seth’s. Seth made the transition to my new company seamless and painless. He is a top-notch recruiter and person, who I trust implicitly.”

 

Rick Hohenstein, C.P.M.

Supply Chain & Procurement Manager

“I have had the pleasure of working with Seth on both side of the recruitment desk. I found him to be a consummate professional. He clear passion for a job well done, apparent in his every telephone conversation, email and letter. His understanding of the industry offers him a unique advantage to help the hiring manager find the right candidate and not just any candidate. He searches are laser focused thus not “spamming” you with resumes to comb through.“

His desire to place his prospect is also clear when he is presenting you to hiring managers. His direction and follow up was comforting as an applicant. He has a gift on his ability to get to know a company, allowing him to pre-screen people and only those people who will have the best fit, academically, skills, and team membership.

In short, I would highly recommend Seth for your next career search or move.”

 

Sohan Das

Director of Solar

“Seth is a top notch recruiter/leader and he had placed me at Wanzek Construction. He really cares about the companies he works with and the individuals he recruits. He gave me a few tips on communication which I thought was very helpful. I have no reservations recommending Seth and I’m sure he will deliver to any company’s utmost satisfaction…”

 

Matt Buchanan

Senior Business Development Manager

“I had the pleasure of working hand in hand with Seth leading up to my position with Wanzek. He was very thorough, personable and you could tell that he had true passion for his business. It’s very easy to feel like a number on a board, but Seth took the time to get to know me and wanted to make sure that Wanzek was as good a fit for ME as I was for them. I highly recommend him for any executive placement positions.”

 

Mark Czap

Sales Director – Eastern Region

“Seth helped place me in my current position. He was great to work with throughout the process. He did a great job preparing me for the interviews, educated me on the interview process and the company history, and helped negotiate on terms that both the company and I were quite happy with.

I would recommend him for anyone looking for a new position.”

 

Miguel Guerrero Jr., P.E.

Senior Solar Project Engineer

“I had the pleasure of being represented by Seth during my most recent career switch a little over a year ago. He displayed the utmost professionalism throughout the process and even “went the extra mile” for me. He was always available to answer any questions, kept me updated and even negotiated in my behalf with my current company. Needless to say, I am extremely satisfied with the outcome; I am currently working with a great company in a great industry. Thus, I have no hesitation in recommending Seth to future clients.”

 

Travis Schricker

Senior Engineering Manager

“Seth created a smooth process to place me as a EE at Q-Cells. From the initial point where Seth first recruited me and accurately presented the opportunity, Seth is a good communicator and was able to properly manage my expectations through the entire interview process. Once I was selected as the wining candidate for the position, Seth negotiated to put together an acceptable employment offer that both sides were very happy with. Prior to my first start date Seth stayed in touch to answer questions, provide assistance, and ensure that the transition to your position was seamless. Seth took the time to check in several weeks after I had been at the position to ensure everything was working out well.”

 

Jose Escudero-Gines

Construction Management Consultant 

“With the support of Seth I was introduced to the Solar Energy business as Project Manager when I had over 25 years of experience in my traditional field of action, the Industrial Construction. Seth always goes beyond the limits, working out of the black box, looking for the real talent of the people, and understanding their capabilities to diversify their experience. He is an uncommon professional with the capacity to determine the potential gifts of their people. I strongly recommend him.”
