"Mike has produced several candidates for me over the years, not one of which failed to meet expectations when hired. The reason is that Mike takes the time to listen and truly evaluate not only the skills but also the type of personality that will provide the right chemistry for the opening." - G. McCammon

Testimonials

"I've continued to work with Mike McDonough for over twenty years simply because he knows the insurance business. Our company has been in business for forty-one years, and it's critical to know our insurance model and understand our culture in order to get the insurance people we need. For instance, last year Mike found us an outstanding telemarketer, a top sales producer, and a high level claims manager. Mike's process is thorough; he only sends me the right candidates with the exact skill sets I need. I trust Mike and his integrity, so I can't imagine working with a placement service that would offer less than GSR does."

"Mike McDonough and GSR have proven to be a valuable asset in recruiting quality talent for our organization. They have come to know our culture and our needs as if they were part of our Human Resources staff. There is nothing louder than success and of our two most recent hires, one earned Employee Of The Year her first year, an unheard of feat with our company; the other is on his second promotion in less than one year!"

"Mike McDonough and GSR turned out to be just what we needed in Chicago. We discussed the profile of the candidate and the scope of their future responsibilities. More importantly we spent a lot of time on chemistry, our business mission, vision, value and our people. Mike keyed right in and within a few days we were meeting individuals who were all winners. GSR listened, analyzed, and delivered an individual who is a great match for our organization."

"Mike, I just want to thank you and commend your operation. You and your firm are professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun to work with! Your experience and understanding of the business and your ability to communicate it, makes you so effective at bringing people together. When you combine that with great attention to detail and follow-up, you get a top-notch firm like yours."

- Dennis Hovde

Director
AON Risk Services, Glenview. IL

"We have worked with Mike McDonough and his firm several times, and each time we've been very satisfied with the excellent candidates he has sent us. I'd recommend General Search and Recruitment for two reasons: Mike is skilled at finding candidates that fit our needs precisely, and he is prompt in his screening and selection process. Mike has never sent us a candidate that was not a great fit for the role we needed to fill."
