Please accept this note as a token of both my and my family’s appreciation for your work, support and guidance. We are grateful for the good fortune of having connected with your firm at this opportune time. Additionally, please allow me to highlight the importance of what you helped our family accomplish. First and foremost, the Lonza position presents a momentous professional opportunity but as equally important, this opportunity has given us a second in a lifetime a chance to return to California. After a long 5 year departure and detour through the Midwest and Southeast, we were beginning to believe we would not see another chance to return again.
Furthermore, please let me say that this opportunity was only possible because of the excellent follow up and due diligence performed by your associate Marie Lombardo. To back track, I originally spoke to you many months ago upon the referral of a friend. Your team follow up on that original information produced the phone call in November connecting my experience to this opportunity with Lonza. Knowing that you and your team make and field hundreds of phone calls everyday, I find it to be just incredible that you can somehow connect my information with this job; whatever system you are using, thank you for using it. In addition and even more impressive is the commitment to think outside the box. In reality, we all recognize that Lonza was looking for a representative already in the West, however, and as a testament to Marie, she asked all the questions, and provided all the details leading to the opportunity to extend our discussion with Lonza to include the possibility of consideration for their needs in the West. The results led to an opened window of opportunity.
On another level, thank you for your continued support and professionalism. It would have been easy to say you do not have enough experience in their end use market or that you simply are not in the right location, but instead you not only gave me the opportunity to present myself, but you provided excellent direction and insights which were right on target. This includes adjustments to the original resume, to interview techniques and prep, and most importantly, exceptional commitment to continued due diligence on the people and personalities that we were to be meeting with. I personally believe that this last point and associated push to understand your customers sticking points and how to address the hard questions made all the difference in getting across the finish line.
Thank you again for everything.
Sincerely,
Gary Arbizzani
Just wanted to thank you again for helping me land my current position with BASF. I have been enjoying this opportunity ever since I was hired back in December of 1998. Your support really paid off: all the way from helping me update and fine tune my resume to interview tips and techniques. I would also like to thank you for coaching me with my transition from job to job. I was able to leave my former company with class and dignity. You’ll be pleased to know that shortly after I was hired, I received a promotion to Sr. Sales Representative II.
Al Abrusia’s industry contacts are invaluable. He helped me find the right position to advance my career, in the right geography to meet my personal needs . Throughout the process he followed up professionally and worked hard to close the deal.
The service I received at Al Abrusia associates was professional, courteous, prompt and exemplary. Al was personally involved in providing a great link between me and my potential employer. He had a good grasp of the employer’s needs and spent time in understanding my skill set and a potential fit. This sort of an approach is very important, particularly when one is performing mid-career changes as I did. I would strongly recommend working with Al in achieving your set objectives with job / career changes.
Marie: Thank you so much for all your help and dedication in finding my current position. You are truly an excellent recruiter that listens to the clients needs and tries her best to fulfill the client’s goal.

It makes a world of difference when your recruiters places you in the right position and the right company, and for me you did all that and more.

Our recruiting and search experiences with Abrusia and Associates have been excellent. You have always represented both the candidates and your company in a professional manner. The candidates are well screened and qualified prior to the interview cycle. You have provided our company with qualified individuals that have enabled us to continue to differentiate ourselves from our competitors. Thank you for providing us with excellent people. Good recruiting firms are hard to come by…you always place our needs first and are not only interested in closing the sale today.
Al Abrusia was very instrumental in helping us quickly find the right person for a critical position in our organization. He took the necessary time to understand the requirements of the position, the characteristics of the “ideal’ candidate, and an overview of our business and organizational climate. As a result, he was able to effectively screen candidates prior to presenting them to us for consideration, saving us invaluable time and effort.
I had the pleasure pf working with Al Abrusia for eight years. Al was always the consummate professional. He lead by example, always near the top of our sales production numbers, and approached his responsibilities in an ethical and efficient manner. Al took the time to mentor new employees and always placed the needs of the client first. He always had a positive attitude and a focused “can do” mentality. Al treated every placement like it was only placement we ever worked on.

“Here is what I like about working with Al Abrusia. He is a great screener, extremely tenacious in a very professional manner, and is excellent in following up and not dropping the ball. I will continue to use his service for any position I have and I recommend him highly.”
