“We handed Mark a very difficult search for a C level executive with some very specific requirements, and of course a very short time line.  Not only did Ignition exceed our expectations by finding us the right person faster than expected, they actually found us multiple qualified applicants.  I won’t hesitate to engage Mark again on the next impossible search we embark on.”

Dave Smiddy, VP & GM, Hands-On Mobile

“Mark was retained to source top-notch talent to fill strategic roles in our social games start-up.  He was thorough and professional from the initial needs assessment, through calibration and closing.  Mark is a great listener who asks really good questions.  He learned quickly and brought forth insight into our business and culture as if he had been working for the company since day one.  Mark was a great advocate for our company and really took the time to probe and learn about our culture and needs each time we talked.  Mark is super sharp, organized and tenacious. Most of all, Mark is incredible at assessing candidates; he accurately and quickly identifies the right match.  This capability eliminated many unnecessary interviews, more importantly it ensured we would get the perfect fit.”

Bill Hildebolt, President, ExpoTV

“Mark did a great job with a search we hired him & his firm for. A great listener who understood our needs and worked hard to find the very best match. We felt at every step that he was only worried about getting the best result for us. HE was the one that would throw candidates overboard at the first sign of trouble. It wasn’t about AN answer, it was about THE answer. The end result was an out of the park home run….”

Mitch Lewis, VP Marketing & Product Management, Dilithium Networks (now GM WW Marketing, Communications Sector – Microsoft)

“Mark was the recruiter that brought me to Dilithium Networks from Ericsson in Indonesia. During a process where we were separated by 7,000 miles and many time zones, Mark was extremely efficient, true to his word and a pleasure to work with – as well as working equally hard for me (the recruitee) and the company for which he was hired. Mark exhibits the recruiting qualities that one would always want to see.”
