Dear Richard,

Once again, you have aligned me with a position in a company which best suits my background and current capabilities, offers tremendous opportunities for mutual growth and fits well with my career aspirations.

In my opinion, your thorough research of the client company and position as well as your method for gathering in-depth knowledge of the background, skills and personal traits of the candidate result in the optimal "Winning" approach for both parties.

Ten years ago, as a young engineer, you recruited and placed me in a position with Mitsubishi, a progressive semiconductor materials company in which I experienced continual growth during the following 5 years through several positions. I gained a great deal of experience, and Mitsubishi was very happy with my work, as evidenced by the five promotions they gave me!

When I joined a startup firm 5 years ago as head of operations and needed to assemble a strong management team of my own, you recruited the most talented operations, engineering and management people I have worked with to date.

I was very pleased with your performance as a recruiter for me, and from this vantage point, I was able to fully experience the tremendous value of your expertise in the world of corporate recruiting and organizational development.

Last year, you successfully guided me through a career change into a position with a very highly respected capital equipment company, opening doors on which I would not otherwise have known. Through your interest in me and your acquired knowledge of my capabilities you were able to fit me with several separate and diverse opportunities with different firms. These have been very positive career moves for me.

Now, merely eight months after joining my new employer, I am facing promotion to an executive team position and will direct all activities of a corporate department running sales and product marketing, to span the entire United States. This is a sizeable challenge that I am personally now ready to undertake.

Thank you very much for your continued strong and supportive stewardship
of my career.

Sincere regards,


Mark C. Blythe
