“Steve and his recruiting model is beyond good. He is attentive, and delivers time after time after time. He listens, he gets it, he knows how to produce results. I have been in this business for over 20 years, if i need quick, focused results, i will call Mr. Ganesh, period. No further endorsement needed, he gets it done. Also, he is very aware of the customer and if you need solid results Ganesh is your man. As for volume, he can outstrip any of the known agencies i know. He is forthright, will tell you if he cant deliver and also tell you if he can. Steve has spent a long time getting his solution right, and it works. As a vendor to me at Amazon, he met with huge success, because he knew what we wanted, and met the high bar required for candidates. I recommend him as a recruiter and as a professional business man. James Mitchell.” ”

Carl Coppadge, Staffing Manager at AOL
Steve was a Sr. Technical Contract Recruiter (6 mth)
“Here’s are my brief highlights: - Steve came on board to head up west coast recruiting efforts for mobile arm of AOL - Pretty much filled all allotted software engineering positions on my plate, before the re-org - Steve came fully loaded with his own resources, and introduced his own powerful sourcing tool, which outperformed all our other sourcing resources combined in a bake-off - Steve may not be the most conventional Contract Recruiter for a large organization like AOL, but he gets the job done, and done really well …his way, his style! Great Sourcer too.”

Tony Shelton, Recruiting Manager at Front Range Sol.
Steve was a Headhunter (1 year)
“Our business was in the process of shifting to a SaaS business model during a time where we had increased pressure to hire quickly and staff up teams across functional areas in a business climate with pressing revenue targets and project timeline demands. Steve and his team of recruiters helped us quickly implement a staffing strategy and solution that enabled us to quickly identify and successfully recruit talent and appreciably reduce our time-to-fill and cost-per hire metrics. The service they provided was felt across the enterprise and was rolled out across VP areas. Against every open requisition, we had 4-6 qualified candidates that VP's wanted to interview within 7-10 days. Steve is an exceptionally strong staffing strategist and equally strong in execution.”
