JOE COREY TESTIMONIALS
"I have known of Joe Corey's work since the early
80's when he found for our group an Industrial Engineer for our upstate
New York manufacturing facility. In the past two years Joe's quick grasp
of the Lean Six Sigma manufacturing arena led to his discovering and
placing with us two outstanding Lean manufacturing "stars" ...one for
our Corporate office and another for our Texas operation. Joe has the
ability to adapt quickly and comprehend the rapidly changing nature of
manufacturing techniques and philosophies."
--Sr. Director of Continuous Improvement for a major Beverage
manufacturing.
“I’ve known Joe for several years, and he has helped me find the ‘good
hires’ that have enabled my own career to progress. In my new role as a
Global Supply Manager, my first instinct to fill an opening was to call
Joe. However, after assurances from our HR group that they could find
skilled candidates, I agreed to let them handle the assignment. After
months of no results, I went back to my original instinct. Joe has a
keen sense for understanding the client needs and matching
candidates…when you need world class supply chain candidates, call upon
Joe Corey.”
--Global Supply Chain Manager of a $3 billion chemical manufacturer.
"When I received a call from Joe Corey a few years
ago, I realized I wasn’t speaking with your average search and placement
firm. I explained our immediate need for a very specialized Logistics
and Engineering Manager that had been near impossible to locate under
our methods. Joe took on the assignment and asked every conceivable
question and angle to really understand what we wanted in this unique
individual. Joe’s thoroughness and insight were beyond reproach. His
professionalism and follow-up are rare in today’s mechanized world of
recruitment. His style and manner instantly draws you into a friendly,
but serious relationship. One that I found very refreshing, reassuring,
and trustful. I felt when he presented the results of his thorough
search that we had found exactly what we were seeking--and we did. Joe’s
experience and complete understanding of his clients’ needs … are truly
unique and resourceful. My managers were at ease knowing we hired the
best candidate to fill that position and came to one of the easiest
hiring decisions. I would not only recommend Joe Corey……but do so
knowing that he will give a 100% plus effort with every endeavor or
challenge he may be given."
--Lee Figueriedo, Sr. Technical Recruiter, Nokia, Inc.
"Joe has a keen understanding of the talent needs for Corporate
America. He listens well to his clients’ requirements and does an
outstanding job matching high potential employees with the client needs.
His success rate is high."
--Art Schick, Vice-President, Purchasing, Pepsi Worldwide Concentrate
Operations
"My relationship with Joe Corey spans 20 years. He was the recruiter
that put me in contact with PepsiCo, where I enjoyed 12 years of career
growth. Joe did a bit of recruiting for me during my time at PepsiCo. He
consistently provided a stream of highly qualified talent. Joe placed a
number of the best technical people at PepsiCo. I left PepsiCo for an
opportunity on the west coast and when it was time to come back, Joe was
there for me. He placed me as VP of Engineering for Merck-Medco (now
Medco Health Solutions). And when I needed talent in to round out my
team at Merck, Joe got us the right people. Joe is a well connected
professional who can move quickly to fill your need with a quality
candidate. He keeps in touch with some of the best people and companies
in the fields that he services.” “From both sides of the desk, Joe’s the
best recruiter I know."
--Michael Brosie, V.P. Engineering and Technical Operations, Merck-Medco
"Over the past 20 plus years I have known Joe Corey to be extremely
adept in the recruitment of engineering talent for the Pizza Hut, Long
John Silvers, and KFC units of Yum! Brands, Inc. I am aware that several
of these individuals have risen to high level executive positions within
our organization and others, as well. Joe has an uncanny knack of
uncovering and attracting truly excellent technical and managerial
talent."
--Peter Rondot, Sr. Director, Global Engineering, Yum! Brands, Inc.
“Joe has a knack of finding the specific engineer to fit your
specific requirements. He has a rapport with both the job seeker and the
hiring management team, and has a good handle on both sides of the
equation. You might say he’s a great matchmaker. Why? He treats both
sides with respect, is a professional, has integrity, is at ease in
discussions, and follows up many years “after the sale”. So when I need
a highly qualified engineer… the first person I turn to is Joe.”
--David Turk, former Director of Engineering, Baskin Robbins USA,
and Senior Director of Operations Aramark Uniform Services
“In my experience in working with him from the perspective of a
corporate hiring authority I can state that Mr. Corey is the embodiment
of the phrase “results-driven.” He is energetic, enthusiastic, and has
the uncanny knack of attracting high caliber professional and managerial
talent. In addition, Joe Corey has the intellectual ability to very
quickly comprehend complex technical/scientific issues and requirements.
Compared to others I have known in the executive search field he is, in
my opinion, unique in his ability to perform successfully time and time
again.”
…former Senior Director of Technology, Product and Process Development
for the Pepsi-Cola Company.

"You probably do not remember me - after all we have never met. However, we did hold a conversation on January 6th. I called you from New York inquiring about your services as a matchmaker for manufacturing companies and engineers. You explained that I was not a good match for your particular clients. However, you did interrupt your lunch to advise me on a more successful job hunt procedure than the old 'send a resume and pray' routine. I took up quite a bit of your time, but you seemed more than happy to help. For that I am extremely grateful as I took your advice and recently accepted a position as Director of Manufacturing."
