"Simon is a true professional and does a great job locating strong sales talent. I first worked with Simon as a brand new sales manager back in 2001. Simon found out about my search and introduced himself to me. Within 1 week of the initial introduction, I had 5 superstar candidates to interview. That first hire has been followed by more than 20 plus sales professionals hired to date. All hires have been solid hires and the majority have been P Club winners as well. I highly recommend using Simon McCune in your next sales recruiting cycle."

​C.P, Area Manager

"Recently, I had the pleasure to work with Simon during a recruiting experience for a specialized leadership role in a new customer engagement model.. The new "disruptive" model requires unique talent and skills. Simon was excellent at procuring the right candidates by clearly understanding and articulating the job scopes for all levels of the new organization and effectively linking talent to these individual roles. His attention to screening while educating candidates, then aligning the best candidates to the right geographies was exceptional - what I would deem "top tier" execution that I have experienced in my ~20 years leading teams. Simon communicates extremely well; very efficient and effective; he is strategic in his approach; he spends a lot of time to getting to know the candidates. If you are challenged with a tough position to fill or looking for top talent to enhance your organization, I would highly recommend working with Simon."

R.A., Director Market Access


"I have had the pleasure to know Simon for a number of years. I have referred a number of people to Simon and he has never been anything less than a great professional. He not only cares about his corporate clients, but he also takes his relationships serious with potential candidates. He takes the time to really understand his candidates. He spends time reviewing resumes and makes recommendations for improvements, provides excellent preparation and coaching for interviews and does a great job matching skills with potential opportunities. He works relentlessly day and night and works with the highest ethics! Simon does a great job networking with top companies as well as top talent from across the country which gives him a diverse corporate and candidate pool. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone, corporate client or potential candidate."

T. M., Marketing Principal
"I worked with Simon on a leadership position for a company that was completely overhauling their commercial model. He helped me navigate the interview process in a way that I have never experienced from a recruiter. He was incredibly well informed about what the company was looking for and was able to answer all my questions. He offered invaluable advice about how to prepare and helped connect me with others that could provide a different perspective. Essentially, he made me feel like he really believed in me and insisted that I believe in myself as well. I enjoyed his respectful challenge and tenacity. He definitely has a gift for matching candidates with the right role. I ended up getting the job and have never been happier!"

D.D., Healthcare Director


"Simon is one of the most sincere, hard-working professional recruiters in the business. His client organization and industry knowledge is exceptional. His approach is deeply thoughtful and aimed at matching the right candidate, with the right organization, with the right opportunity, at the right time. I keep Simon on speed dial because someone I know will eventually benefit from Simon's very strategic professional insight or need his services. He's a great guy who is always willing to help. Simon is absolutely top-notch and exemplifies world-class excellence!"

D. H., Regional Account Manager

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Simon for several years and most recently partnered with him as I made a career transition. Simon's a trusted confidant who was supportive as I made a difficult, yet exciting, career move. He keeps his clients best interest first and helps navigate the entire process to ensure a smooth experience. Simon's a true professional and simply a wonderful person!"

C. D., National Sales Director


"The consummate professional, Simon helped me through each stage of the process. From initial discussion regarding the position to interview follow-up, Simon and his team always reached out to provide feedback and coaching when needed. You'd be making a mistake not working with Simon and his team; I'm a better candidate and professional having engaged with he and his team"

C.W., Account Manager
"In my 18 years experience in the health care space I have worked with many recruiters. I recently was approached for a new position by Simon and was overwhelmingly impressed with his professionalism from the first time we spoke until I got an offer letter. Simon was responsive, thorough, helpful and walked me through all the steps in the hiring process... and most of all was my biggest cheerleader. I highly recommend working with Simon and his staff as both a hiring manager and a perspective job seeker."
