Richard led the search for our head of Operations Research at Homer Logistics. This was a very technical hire, and it required a recruiter with the ability to understand and differentiate the technical challenges we were facing in order to bring qualified candidates through the door. Richard not only grasped the business and technical challenges effectively and communicated those to candidates, he also put us in a position of choosing between multiple, extremely qualified individuals at the end of the search. Our interaction with Richard has been the best compared to multiple retained recruiters we have used in the course of senior hiring. I would emphatically recommend Rich to anyone looking to hire a technical leader at their company.

Rich and his team at Vantage have helped us fill several VP and Senior Director level roles at both Zone Labs and MarkMonitor. Rich listens well, runs a good process and has helped us land key players. I’d gladly recommend him as a tier one recruiter in the tech sector.

Rich Lear has always been there to help our teams get top talent when we needed it. He is a trusted though leader and a true professional. He brings his clients so much more than great talent. He helps guide, direct and evolve the executive/tech recruiting solution and in turn you get a lot more than you pay for! Rich and his exceptional team(s) are committed to a true partnership that will always set you up for success.

Rich is one of the best in the industry…dives into a search with real vigor, intellect and thorough understanding of the needs of the clients.

Rich built out a tremendous, entrepreneurial management team for Betfair USA. He is a super business partner who understands the kind of person it takes to grow a startup. Rich is a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to working with him again.

He was very quick to clarify our needs, and delivered highest quality candidates.
