Tony Bishop is an outstanding recruiter, who I highly recommend to anyone looking for a job, or seeking to fill job openings in the healthcare industry. I utilized Tony and Connexis Search Group to recruit Sales and Corporate Account talent, and he and his associates efficiently filled six positions for me. Those six candidates turned out to be top performers who made significant contributions to our company and were quickly promoted. I have known Tony professionally for many years, and consider him to be an expert in judging candidates for positions in sales, marketing, service, R&D, executive leadership, finance, operations, and Customer Service. Tony’s expertise does not end with the recruiting process; he is readily available as a trusted advisor and assistant throughout the lifetime of every professional relationship. Without hesitation, I consider Tony to be one of the absolute best search consultants in today’s complex healthcare industry.
Tony is an outstanding sales leader and one of the few that understands the importance of understanding the customer’s unmet and explicit needs before engaging in a sales process to offer the best solution. He is able to energize others around common goals and consistently delivers on his commitments. He is achievement oriented and has the edge to make the tough yes/no decisions. He provides clear direction to his teams, which leads to confidence and commitment.
Tony is a very focused, strategic manager of people. He motivated his sales team at Dynamic Voice through a structured approach to goal setting, including developing stretch goals leading to exceptional potential compensation opportunities for his team. Tony is very articulate, very collaborative, and an honorable person who I really enjoyed working with. Any organization would be lucky to be associated with Tony.
I’ve used Tony over the years to help me fill more than a few assignments, primarily in the sales and marketing area. The first thing you notice about Tony is his focus on understanding the requirements. Then you notice his work ethic, which is impressive. Tony has become my go-to person, for time-sensitive, mission critical commercial executive roles – the area where I have found he excels. Tony has helped me recruit several outstanding individuals for VP of Sales and Business Development roles – these folks have all delivered exceptional results, and have gone on to have excellent careers. I recommend Tony without hesitation.
From early stage start up to Fortune 500 companies our experience with Tony and his team has been exceptional. Having always been focused on profitable growth, the quality of candidates, the timeliness of presenting the ” best few ” candidates has separated Tony from your typical search firm. A big part of our success over the years has come from the terrific talent sourced from Tony.
I was recently hired as the Vice President of Sales at one of the World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Health Care, an opportunity that came to me through Kevin. I have worked with many recruiters throughout my career to helping fill open positions within my teams, and also for getting notified of new opportunities for my own career advancement. Kevin is, definitely, at the top of the list as an Executive Recruiter, as he truly attempts to make the best fit for both the company and the candidate. Beyond that, Kevin is invaluable and exceptional as an executive coach in making sure candidates are thoroughly prepared for the high-level interview process. I strongly recommend Kevin, and I encourage all executives to connect with him, as he is a very experienced executive himself and will be an invaluable resource for all aspects of your future employment and your companies’ resource needs.
