Dear Donna:

It was a great pleasure talking with you the other day. Please accept my sincere appreciation for taking the interest and time to learn about me. As I mentioned, one of your associates, Bill Dawson, worked with a friend of mine, P___ C______, who spoke very highly of him and Protis Executive Innovations. The Protis website was interesting, informative and user friendly. The core values of the firm are admirable and attributes that I value as well. I have enclosed my resume for your review.

I am sorry that my contact with _________ precludes us from working together; however, I would be interested in exploring the opportunity with __________. I would derive great satisfaction from utilizing my skills and experience to contribute to the profitable growth of __________ while serving the financial needs of my community,

As a seasoned commercial banker and an accomplished business leader, I could leverage my solid experience and business acumen to grow market share and enhance revenue streams. My thorough understanding of the entire range of corporate finance products combined with a strategic approach to the target market has been the basis for my success in developing and enhancing the long lasting business relationships that drive and secure an expanded customer base. As a strong advocate of the team approach, I work well with the other areas of the bank to identify and explore every opportunity to cross sell products and services while providing excellence in customer care.

Once again, may I express my thanks for your time and courtesy, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Hi Mel !!

We talked a few weeks ago. Just to jog your memory, I am a loan officer at _______ Bank (adopting two children from Russia) and referred ___________ to you. She spoke very highly of you and thought that you provided her with a lot of assistance. You also impressed me in our conversation, so I thought I would send you a few more referrals. Please keep this confidential; as neither of these people are aware that I have spoken with you or that I am passing on their names. I have just recently heard them talking about their open mindedness to opportunities and I know they are both ready to look, if not already actively looking for something.

Tom -

It was my pleasure spending time with you and Chuck and I consider it a high priority to build on our relationship. Finding top notch talent is critical to our success particularly in markets outside of Indiana where our networking is limited. I would consider your company one of our truly valuable assets as we continue to execute our business model.

Thanks again for lunch.
Mike

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my compliments and pleasure in dealing with one of your executive recruiters.

Chuck Combs at Protis is far and away the most professional search consultant I have experienced. He contacted me from afar by phone, he helped recreate my resume, he consulted me on the interview process, he was responsive and flowed up in every stage of the process. He is obviously intelligent, friendly, and successful.

I congratulate you on associating yourself with such a professional. I hope I have the pleasure of shaking his hand one day.

Dear Chuck,

Let me begin by saying, "Thank you". My recent job change has been a wonderful experience and breath of fresh air into my career. Your expertise and guidance has allowed me to expand my career to another level that I was seeking.

I would recommend your services to anyone looking to change jobs or careers, because you add a high level of professionalism to your field. You made me feel as if I was being recruited for a much more prestigious position with a top Fortune 500 company. The follow-ups and telephone conversations we had made me feel, as if you cared as much about me obtaining this position as I did.

I appreciate your hard work to enrich my life, as well as forward my career in banking. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call me. Again, Thank You.

Sincerely,
J___ H______

Dear Steve :

I would like to take this opportunity to convey my satisfaction with Mr. Chuck Combs and his organization, Protis Executive Innovations. Due to growth and reorganization, M____ Bank was in the market for three senior officers this past year. We used Protis's search and recruitment services and I am extremely pleased with the results.

The first step was for Chuck to learn all he could about our business and our community. He then quickly supplied well qualified, but also culturally compatible candidates, so we felt we were able to choose the individual that best suited M_____ Bank's needs.

In all three cases, we were able to find the ideal officer within a few weeks of listing the position with Protis. All three candidates are highly qualified, extremely professional and have been able to fit into our organization very easily. I am extremely pleased with each of the individuals and feel they will contribute to the future success of M______ Bank.

I can assure you that if I find myself in search of other qualified officers for M_____ Bank, I will contact Chuck Combs.

Please contact me if you have additional questions.

Sincerely,
M_____ D. B________

Thank you for taking the time to help me prepare for the interview process with N____ W___ & S___, Inc. While the outcome of the interview process was unexpected, I do believe that you assisted me in making a favorable impression on Mrs. M_____ and Mr. T_____.

Additionally, I would like to thank you for your follow-up phone call this evening in which you were candid in discussing the day's events and opportunities for improvement in the future. As you discovered during my interview, I am a very candid individual. Therefore, I greatly appreciate honest feedback in return! I know that your analysis of the interview process will be useful going forward.

Upon reflection of today's events, I remind myself that "all things happen for a reason." I understand that matching candidates with companies is a complicated puzzle, involving skill sets, personality traits, corporate culture, etc. With that in mind I thank you again for allowing me to be a part of this recent process. I have gained tremendous insight regarding the recruiting process and will be more prepared when another good opportunity arises. Until then, I will return to my work at ______________ with the same passion and energy I had prior to hearing from you, with a continued focus towards my MBA. Until we speak again I wish you continued success, both personally and professionally!

Kind Regards,

"I just started my third week with ------. I wanted to let you know how impressed I was by the service your company gave me. Brian Farrow and Mike Bitar were a pleasure to deal with throughout the process.

Brian contacted me and did a thorough job collecting my personal information and background.

Mike followed up and explained the opportunity in greater detail and what the process would entail. We spent a great deal of time on the phone before I flew to Chicago for my interview. It was as prepared as I had ever been for an interview.

The preparation, professionalism, and attention to detail helped me write you this note today on ------ letterhead.

We live in a world that is quick to complain and slow to compliment. I like to compliment people as much as I can.

If Brian and Mike's efforts are any indication of the organization that you run (I am sure they are), you have a lot to be proud of."

Field Service Liaison

"CPG team provides impeccable follow up!"

"I just wanted to write to let you and your company know how much I appreciate your efforts on my behalf. The whole experience from start to finish was easy, comfortable and highly professional. The initial phone call between us was regarding a different position, but due to the in-depth process your company uses, you were able to determine that [B2B Internet provider] was the perfect match."

"The preparation work regarding each phase of the interview process was extremely helpful. The follow-up was impeccable. So much so that I am truly comfortable working with you to hire the newest three employees for [my new employer]. I look forward to doing this in the very near future. Again, thank you so much for your time and efforts. "

Regional Director

"I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the considerable time and effort that you invested in pursing the ------ opportunity on my behalf. As I told you before, you have a style and attention to details that is unique to your industry and a pleasure to be associated with.

By the way, in case you didn't get my voice mail, one of my references has asked for your name and number, which I gladly provided. He has a colleague that is in need of your services.

I look forward to working with you in the future in pursuit of other opportunities."
