I really want to thank you again for the great work you did in recruiting both Alan Bird and Gary
Cantor. Both are doing well and adding significant value to the company. It's not easy bringing
outsiders in to fill high level roles (Vice President of Sales and Director, Global Account
Manager)however, with your knowledge of Arrow's culture and the job roles, you brought us two great
candidates.
I will certainly come to you again as I have senior level openings.
Regards,
Jim Rosenberg

Thank you and your G4 team for helping Arrow OCS for being fully staffed throughout 2006 and the
first half of 2007. When I joined OCS the team consistently ran at 30% under full headcount. As you
know running a sales organization that is not fully staffed leaves little chance to meet quotas.
With your help we were able to hire Senior Managers to drive our business in the West region of North
America and the Mid Atlantic territory. Also, when we were short field sales throughout the country
your team recruited five FSR’s that are contributing to the success we have today.
I appreciate all your efforts and look forward to working with your team in the future.
Best Regards,
Tom Muldowney

I want to thank you and the G4 team for placing me as a Director with Arrow Electronics, back inearly
2006; it has proven to be that "right fit" just as you believed it would be from the very first time we
talked about the opportunity.
As a candidate I was impressed with the level of detail and energy invested by G4 in the process,I
know that understanding your client/Arrow's needs was critical, but your ability to ask the right
questions of me, my career achievements, goals and skills, how I like to work, the company ethics,
treating me like your client too, well this all weighed heavy as you earned my trust. It is a winning
formula in my opinion.
As I client / user of the G4 Recruiters, I have been impressed with your diligence in understanding my
business and this has enabled you to consistently bring forward and present solid candidates to meet my
needs. I am happy to say "I'm fully staffed", and I hope to keep it that way, but when the day comes that
I need help, I know you will be able to help me fill the gap once again.
Please do not hesitate to call me or use me as a reference any time in the future.
Very best regards,

In May 2006, I was considering adding a Vice President, Electronic Design Engineering within
Newark, a new position within the department/company. Positions such as this are difficult to fill
within the Electronic Distribution industry. You want someone with product knowledge and supplier
relationships along with managing a core team to support the company's sales and profit
goals/objectives. I informed our HR recruiting team that it would be to our advantage to contact G4
Recruiters, not only based on my past experience working with Kevin, Bruce, and Brett to place key
management positions at a prior company but also due to the database knowledge they had on top
professionals within the Industrial Distribution industry.
G4 Recruiters provided us with individuals within the industry that had solid performance backgrounds
that helped in our quick search to fill this position. Various phone interviews were scheduled before we
decided upon an individual that had over 20 years within the industry that met the profile of someone
that would perform well in the position.
I would like to thank G4Recruiters for making our experience one that was professional and straight
forward.
Jeff Shafer
Sr. Vice President Product Marketing
Newark Premier Farnell
My experience with G4 was a great one from the initial call. Being a person that has been in the
industry for over 20 years, I had been contacted numerous times in the past by recruiters. Your initial
call to me was quite memorable. The reason I remember it so well was that you didn’t beat around the
bush as most recruiters do. Trying to generate small talk like we were old college buddies does not
impress me. You identified clearly what you wanted to achieve and got right to the point.
Throughout the whole process, you kept me apprised of where we were at in the game and what the
next step was. Everything you communicated to me was accurate. 
All in all, a pleasurable process to a change in life that was borderline torturous at times.
Best regards and thanks for everything!

G4 recruiters were very helpful in positioning me within Arrow in a new business initiative that has
proved to be successful for both Arrow and myself. They were persistent in gathering information for
me, as well as, from me to make sure that both parties had the right match and could reach their mutual
goals. The due diligence to answer my questions, provide detail on Arrow such as their long term goals,
staffing initiatives, values, and references helped me to make the decision to join a world class
organization, as well as utilize G4 for my demanding recruiting needs.
Upon starting with Arrow, I was set with the goal of starting a new organization from scratch utilizing
only outside talent. G4 help to reach the goal of having 9 qualified sales people in place and
running within 3 months of my initial start. Their qualification process help expedite the hiring process
by finding qualified, interested candidates that would help me make our goals of rapid sales
growth within 6 months of project kickoff, full staff within 3 months, and profitability within 15
months.
Qualified, dedicated talent was critical in achieving these goals, and rapid placement accelerated this
process.

More Information
The reference from Jim Rosenberg is the President of Alliance, a division of Arrow Electronics
(Fortune 200 $13.6 billion in 2006) Jim’s division is the Global accounts, 40 customers that average
$100 million each per year in revenue to Arrow-$ 4 billion per year. I placed the VP of Sales who is
responsible for managing that $ 4 billion in sales and growing that number. We also placed a Global
Account Manager/Director responsible for $100 million at one account. When a client puts that much
trust in someone to acquire the best possible talent for some of the most strategic positions in their
company, you know that you’re perceived as one of the best. Arrow receives hundreds of calls from
recruiters/talent scouts, but they chose G4 Recruiters, here in Portland , Oregon . Arrow is located in
New York , where there are more recruiters per capita than anywhere else in the world. They chose G4
Recruiters.
How Can We Help You?

its hiring sales management team to do the job they were hired to do.
