He met all my expectations and even exceeded some by delivering only high quality candidates in a timely and painless fashion. He was instrumental in “closing the deal “because it was apparent he had the respect of the candidates and hiring managers. I would recommend Adam without reservation.

Adam Zak has become a relied upon partner for staffing my teams with expertise in Lean and Six Sigma. I prefer working with a firm that understands the unique skill sets for which I am searching. Adam Zak Executive Search can identify and recruit candidates with deep expertise in continuous improvement with more efficiency and effectiveness than a generalist firm.

Over the past several years I have had the opportunity to call upon Adam Zak for assistance in identifying and securing senior management personnel to fill various needs. We are a mid-sized manufacturing company and our executives are required to be highly strategic, yet able to function at the implementation levels of our organization. Adam has consistently matched skills with needs with 100% acceptable performance. I can honestly report that Adam is the most successful executive search expert I have ever used. In addition, I have referred Adam to a number of other executives who have reported similar results.

Corus plc engaged Adam Zak to search for two senior specialists in Continuous Improvement/Lean Enterprise – an area where the company recognised it had no home grown expertise. The choice of recruiter was influenced by the strong reputation Adam Zak Executive Search had established in this field, and Corus’ desire to spread the net internationally. In all respects our hopes were fulfilled and we achieved an excellent outcome – both on the skills profile of the successful candidates and their cultural fit within the organisation. The approach of the consultant was thoroughly professional; taking time to understand exact client requirements at the outset and then maintaining a regular rapport at key stages to finesse the tactical approach. Candidate screening was perceptive and reliable, enabling the client to focus their final selection in the most effective manner possible. The final result has been an unreserved success.

I have used Adam Zak for a number of executive searches in multiple disciplines. His firm has delivered, and exceeded my expectations on every placement. Adam is easy to work with, provides current information regarding search status and provides outstanding candidates who deliver results. He does all of this with a sense of urgency. What more could you ask? I would highly recommend Adam Zak to obtain talent that will make a difference in your organization.
