Working with Dylan and the Kalmar team totally exceeded my expectations. They have saved my team countless hours and have produced candidates that fit my organization's culture and specific job requirements.  My company's success is the bi-product of our people and we lean heavily on Kalmar for our people. Kalmar is the most outstanding search firm that I have worked with over the past 25 years because of their commitment to excellence in everything they do.

I engaged Dylan to find our new marketing manager just 22 days before some extended time out of the office. I thought for sure we'd have to hold off until I returned. Nope! Dylan crushed it and found us the *perfect* person. I had a signed offer letter on my desk a week before leaving. The entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient. Highly recommend you reach out to Dylan if you're hiring for executive roles at your small business.

We had to quickly find a long-term leader who could hit the ground running in order for the business to not feel a lapse. Within a tight timeline, the Kalmar Group was able to share the company’s story and opportunity with a wide range of candidates, present a handful of qualified candidates to the decision-makers, and enable us to extend an offer to the best fit. The Kalmar Group’s ability to read people – not just resumes – put us in touch with candidates who were likely to fit into our “family” environment and excel in their positions.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the Kalmar Group to find the perfect VP of Sales for my software company. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to bring a fresh perspective to recruiting really set them apart. They understood exactly what we needed and found a candidate who fit the role and our company culture. The process was seamless from start to finish, and their work ethic and commitment to a successful search were inspiring. I can't recommend Dylan and Kalmar Group enough if you're seeking a recruiting partner who goes above and beyond to deliver results.

I had the pleasure of working with the Kalmar Group during my job search, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment they reached out to me on LinkedIn, their professionalism and enthusiasm were immediately evident. They took the time to thoroughly explain the role they were presenting, making sure I had a clear understanding of the opportunity and how it aligned with my skills and career goals. What really stood out was their responsiveness and eye catching messages. They were always available to answer any questions I had, providing helpful insights every step of the way.

"I owe a ton to Dylan for helping connect me with a company that has been transformational for my career. Dylan cares deeply about people and is a hustler (in the best sense of the word!). What stood out to me when we worked together was how intentional he was to understand who I was, where I was looking to grow in my career and what type of people I wanted to surround myself with. He took that seriously and only connected me with companies that he had a high degree of confidence it would be a good fit. He fully understands that great cultures are rare and only works with companies/founders who focus on building great teams, cultures and businesses. If you are looking to make a career change, make Dylan your first call."

I've dealt with many recruiters over the years. Dylan was the first one to actually deliver. Most recruiters work on a role or simply trying to fill a seat and will even try to fit a square peg into a round hole. Dylan got to know my skills, goals, and interests and matched me with an opportunity that aligned with all of that. I cannot recommend him enough!
