Why Synergy Search?

"I highly recommend Josh and Synergy Search for both employers looking for the right candidate and job seekers looking for their next opportunity.  Josh went above and beyond by providing insight and interviewing preparation techniques while staying in constant contact throughout the process.  I was amazed at his professionalism and commitment to make my job search his priority.  Josh even worked on improving my overall job search skills by making recommendations that led to a successful outcome.   This was amazing because I never experienced such dedication and commitment from a recruiter.  Josh has the exceptional ability to bring prospective employers and employees together while ensuring that both parties interests and needs are satisfied throughout the process.  The best decision that an individual or organization can make is to choose the right recruiter.  I highly recommend Josh and Synergy Search for these needs!"

"We were searching for two Divisional CFO's and nobody came close to delivering the quality candidates Josh and his team at Synergy Search brought forward. Josh took the time to understand what type of candidates I was looking for and quickly delivered. Josh had excellent communication from resume through start date and our HR team has been complementary of Josh as well. He has earned my full trust and we have since sent multiple roles to Josh and his team to fill and he continues to deliver. Highly recommend Josh!"

"Synergy Search is extremely responsive and professional.  They take the time to not only understand the position you need to fill but also the company culture, mission, values and goals.  Synergy Search is a valued partner of our company and helped us fill a critical position with a strong candidate.  We look forward to a long partnership with Synergy!" 

"I've had discussions with many recruiters over the past year and had my reservations when Mark and Josh reached out to me. From day one, they were real and transparent with placing me. I openly expressed doubts and that I was currently interviewing at another well respected organization through another recruiter, to which they genuinely listened to my concerns and emphasized exploring that opportunity as well. Each time we spoke, the emphasis was on me finding the right opportunity for me, even if it did not serve the financial gain of Synergy Search. This modest, client centric attitude was a distinct differentiator for me that I have not seen with other search firms. Through the interview process they took a proactive approach in preparing me, providing feedback, and continued transparency the entire time. In just under 2 weeks I had an offer in hand with a fantastic opportunity and salary and benefits in excess of my preliminary goal. Mark and Josh are fantastic people who know what they are doing and will make an incredible impact on the Nashville market."

"5 Stars all around for Mark and his team. Mark was the first recruiter who actively looked for roles I wanted on my next career move instead of just trying to put me in a role. It took time and several interviews to land me my next career move, but Mark was positive and professional through the whole journey. Mark is the first one I am calling next time I need a position filled, or when I am looking at my next career move."

"During my tenure as a CEO at two different startups, I worked exclusively with Josh and his team. In just a few weeks, they found us top talent, filling key finance and accounting leadership roles as well as senior and staff accounting positions. On a personal note, these home run hires will remain part of my professional network forever. You can demand, and you can expect to receive, tremendous value from this team."

"Hands-down the best recruiter I have had the pleasure of working with. They took me on as a client during a difficult time in my career and, even though my circumstances weren't ideal, he went above and beyond to present me with opportunities and sell me to his clients. Not only that, he always kept in touch and consistently reminded me of my value. He presents you with as much detail as he can provide about each opportunity and encourages you to ask questions. If you want a recruiter who truly has your well-being in mind and treats you like a genuine human being rather than someone to fill a role with, the group at Synergy Search should be your first call!"

"I would like to thank Cara, Mark and Synergy Search for finding me my once in a lifetime opportunity. Once an interview was scheduled, they gave me invaluable advice on how to prepare for my interview and indepth insight into the employer and people I would be meeting with during the interview process. Cara and Mark let me know that the most prepared candidate would get the position and made sure I was the most prepared.  Working with my new employer and joining their family will be life changing. I can't thank Cara and Mark enough for finding me for this position and for their tireless effort to help me ensure I presented myself as the best candidate."  

"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Synergy Search. I have never felt more prepared walking into an interview and the opportunity was exactly what I was looking for."

"I want to say thank you to both Matt & Mark! Synergy Search is by far the most professional recruiting firm I have ever dealt with. You made me feel comfortable by giving me the key points & knowledge on what the hiring manager is looking for. I also appreciate your pre interview calls, as I feel they really helped me ace my interview and helped me land the job!"  

"You understand not only the sense of urgency in filling vacant positions, but also the importance of connecting his clients with qualified candidates. I have worked with Synergy on several placements and each time he presented candidates that were highly qualified. In my most recent placement, they provided three strong candidates within a week. Their professionalism and communication skills were invaluable. I highly recommend working with Synergy Search."

"I cannot say enough good things about the experience that I had with Gary and Mark. I have worked with several recruiters from different firms in the past and have never felt more prepared or informed as I did with this team. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything that I needed for my interviews and were only a phone call away for any questions that I had. They did a great job getting to know me and my career goals, walking through my resume and talking through my experience, not just the titles that I have held to find me the best fit possible. I would 1000% recommend them to anyone!"

"You delivered 4 on profile candidates in under 3 days, all of which we were comfortable extending an offer too. I appreciated that you showed me candidates on the light and on the high end of the spectrum. We had another agency on it, but Synergy clearly out-performed them. You communicated effectively throughout the process which I appreciate and we landed our top candidate. You delivered and you delivered quickly. You can quote me on that!"

"I wasn't actively looking to leave my job but one of Synergy's recruiters called and dropped this in my lap. They listened to what was important and it matched up with where I am going! They secured me two quick interviews and I have never felt more prepared or confident going into an interview in my life. Thanks so much, I will be referring others and recommend Synergy Search 10 out of 10."

"It can sometimes be difficult to find that perfect new job - one that you love, that challenges you, and an environment that suits your personality. In working with Synergy, I felt 100% listened to and supported. They knew that fit was more important to me than a pay raise, and I never felt like my focus on culture over cash was an issue in finding opportunities for me to look at. I am so thankful to have worked with Katie - as I know I wouldn't be in the role I'm in currently without her. One satisfied customer here!"

"Alli is quite likely the most important connection I've made in my career.  She has been an incredible advocate on my behalf and really took the time to understand who I was and what I was looking to do.   I am starting a dream job next week and I couldn't have done it without her.  You need to have her in your corner!"

"Josh and Alli were amazing to work with! They were very professional throughout the entire process and they definitely know their stuff. They found me a great opportunity and then helped me with every single step of the process, down to the most minute detail. I ended up getting a job offer that was a perfect fit for me from the first company they sent me to. They also handled all aspects of the offer, negotiations, etc. and kept me appropriately informed throughout the process. Additionally, they assisted with resume preparation, emails, and thank you notes. I would highly recommend them to any company looking to hire great candidates and those looking for new opportunities."

"I am incredibly impressed with how fast you delivered multiple candidates for me to meet with. We had multiple firms on this search, you came in after the fact and blew them away. I appreciate your transparency and communication throughout the process. From now on, you will be my first call"

"Cara is a genuine and authentic person that truly cares about you and will be in your corner. How do I know this? I met Cara during my unemployment during the Corona Virus Pandemic and I was living in another state. She did not hesitate and immediately starting helping me in the job search. Within in a short amount of time, she presented multiple opportunities to me. If you want someone that believes in you and will help you land that next opportunity, I would highly recommend Cara as she is an exceptional recruiter"

"Josh and his team at Synergy delivered for us in a big way on our recent Controller search.  Josh spent several hours understanding what I needed from the role, the strengths and weaknesses in our organization, and my leadership style to ensure he was bringing me the right candidates.  Half a dozen of the people he brought to us would have been great in the role - that gave us the luxury of choosing the perfect fit!  Josh was a great partner during this process and I look forward to working with him again in the future."

"Synergy gave me the best recruitment experience that I have ever had.  Cara and Josh were very hands on and were there for me anytime that I called.  The interview prep that they provided me with was incredible and I have never felt so prepared for an interview.  I received a job offer from the first company they presented me to and I know for a fact that without their help I probably wouldn't have heard from the opportunity or received my job offer."

"Thankful to Gary and the Synergy Search team for aligning me with a great opportunity that checked all of my boxes. Gary was considerate of my personal and professional goals, and only brought jobs to the table that he thought would help me meet those goals. Once the best opportunity was identified, he helped me prepare for the interview, making sure I knew what to expect and he even made suggestions on how I could differentiate myself. Gary and Synergy Search did an amazing job staffing me in my current role, and I will continue to call on them in the future."

"When I was first thinking of finding a new career opportunity, Victoria came ready to help. She took the time to ensure that I was prepared for every step of the interview process. Her positivity and encouragement made it easier to feel more comfortable throughout this journey. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done."

"Having the chance to work with both Matt and Mark on the job hunt has been such a pleasure. Matt has been hunting down opportunities left and right as well as being understanding if it's not a role I'm interested in. They've made me feel like they genuinely care about my next career move. In just a simple phone call you can immediately tell that they are experienced professionals in this industry and they're there to help in any way possible. I couldn't recommend Matt, Mark, and those at Synergy Search enough, I will most certainly work with them in the future!"

"Matt Althoff was great to work with. He was quick to understand the kind of role I was looking for based on my experience and found exactly the right job that I was looking for. Throughout the whole process he supported me, prepared me for the interview, followed up after the interview to see how it went and was prompt in following up on feedback from the company. Within  in two days I had a job offer. Thank you so much Matt for finding the right opportunity for me. I would highly recommend him for any candidate. Great work Matt and you are the best recruiter I have worked with so far. THANK YOU!!"

“Matt was rock solid during my job search. From day one, he made sure he knew what I wanted and gave me roles to interview for that fit my mold. With patience and help from Matt and Mark, I found the role that fit me well. Matt answered the phone and was two steps ahead of other recruiters in his communication skills. The combination of knowledge and overall drive to find the right fit for me made Matt the best recruiter that I have found.”

"Our search for a staff accountant through Synergy Search was an incredibly quick, easy and painless process. I reached out via email, we had a zoom call the next day, interviews with prospective candidates within days and a new hire in less than 2 weeks. We couldn't be more impressed with Synergy Search and we are thrilled with our new hire."

"I have met and talked with several other recruiters, none of them compare to Jessica and Synergy Search. They were extremely professional every step of the way and contacted me daily to keep me updated. They treated me with respect and made sure I was finding a job that I wanted, even if it wasn’t the best financially for their company. In other words, I wasn’t just another client that they checked off their list. 

I had several interviews and offers from firms within days of meeting with Synergy Search. I highly recommend Jessica and Synergy search for anyone looking for a job!! Thank you so much!"

"Jessica has made the entire job search and application process such a great experience! This is my first career switch and when I first started I had no idea what I was doing. It was stressful, confusing, and I felt like I was alone. After applying to one of Synergy’s roles, Jessica, along with Gary, helped me every step of the way to make sure I was comfortable, prepared and excited to grow in my career! With their help and connections I was able to get not one but two amazing offers from highly regarded companies. I can’t recommend Jessica enough and can’t wait to see where my new role takes me in my career!"

"Kelly exceeded all of my expectations. I will admit that I was hesitant to work with a recruiter, but I am glad I chose Kelly. She was conscious of my time and worked around my schedule. She helped me set realistic goals and encouraged me to make the best decision for me. Kelly helped me secure the job of my dreams and I am excited and grateful!"

"Cara was the first recruiter that I have worked with that makes me feel confident in their understanding of what I am looking for in my career. She set up an initial interview with me, talked about my skill sets, my areas for improvement, and what I would want in an employer. She is always organized and well equipped to explain current opportunities and how they align with my career aspirations. I often feel like I am getting a customized service that I should be paying a lot of money for. I have referred a few candidates to her as well. I will continue to use Cara for any opportunities, whether that is as an employer or prospect myself. "

"I recently discovered Kelly, a former colleague of mine, had joined the Synergy Search team. When I asked what opportunities Synergy Search had for me, Kelly understood my career goals, and presented me with a job opportunity that was the best fit for me. Kelly walked me through the interview process, providing me with great interview tips/questions, and continued great professional service through the offer and acceptance phases. She even stayed in touch in the days leading up to my first day and checked in with me AFTER I started! Kelly worked around my schedule throughout the entire process. She always made me feel like I was her only client. After I started my new job, I also worked with Kelly and the team at Synergy Search to fill a vacancy. Again, the Synergy Search team understood our needs and found us a great candidate! Thanks Synergy Search!"

"My entire experience with Alli and Synergy could not have gone better. From start to finish, Alli was extraordinarily professional and sharp.  It’s easy to tell from the jobs she presented that she listened very well to what I was looking for in a new career opportunity. Her interview preparation absolutely put me in a position to perform my best in each interview. The questions she asked me after interviews helped me get better and more confident as I went. I have already recommended her to a friend, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a positive job hunting experience!"

"Jessica went above and beyond in helping me find a role that was right for me. In the midst of dealing with a family emergency, and despite a 3-hour time difference, Jessica still kept in frequent contact with me and was incredibly responsive. She was also very understanding of my work commitments and hectic schedule (she found me at a busy time of the year) and worked around them. 

During the interview process, she prepped me very well and gave me live updates to keep me in the loop. I appreciated her transparency, down to earth personality, and commitment to landing me a job that not only met but exceeded ALL of my specifications (remote telecommuting, type of work, work culture, pay, etc.). I was pleasantly surprised to land an awesome job in less than 1 week. Thank you, Jessica! I could not have done this without you."

"I highly recommend Kelly, Josh, and the entire Synergy Search team. They were a 10 out of 10 across the board. They understood what type of candidate we were looking for and consistently delivered very high-quality candidates for our role. Towards the end of our broad recruitment process, each of the candidates in the final round was a Synergy Search candidate, validating the value they brought to our search. They effectively advised me throughout the process to ensure we met the goals that I outlined on our first introductory call, and they delivered an absolute rock-star of a candidate! I can’t give them a strong enough recommendation! Job well done! Count me in as a client for life."
