Frontrunner Executive Search

Recruiting for key talent for our growth-mode company has always been a challenge. Working with Kimmo Kartano at Frontrunner has allowed us to focus on our business. Kimmo takes the time to really understand the company, as well as the candidate profile needed to successfully fill the open position. When Kimmo presents the top candidates for a position, each have been fully vetted and are well matched to our business needs, whether that is from a technical or cultural perspective. This allows us to make the final decision quickly and efficiently. The candidates come into the interview process fully engaged, and those who are selected to join our company quickly become top-performing employees.

Our rapidly growing technology company has worked with Frontrunner on several searches. We’ve tried to do the recruiting ourselves but due to the difficulty of identifying qualified candidates which are in short supply in our field, we have at times engaged outside assistance. Kimmo Kartano at Frontrunner has consistently done an outstanding job to provide strong candidates with the appropriate leadership, management, and technical skills we need, and who have also been a good cultural fit with our company. The searches have been well structured and we have been kept well informed during the process.

In advance of commencing the search, Kimmo Kartano evaluated our firm, our products, and the strategic plan without wasting time, and throughout search engagements he has exhibited a thorough understanding of our industry segment and the key players. Kimmo has brought superior candidates into the process that have led into timely and high-quality recruitments of people who have delivered strong results for our company.

In my 30 years in business, I have worked with a lot of headhunters at large global firms and at small regional ones. Of all of them, Kimmo Kartano at Frontrunner Executive Search has impressed me with great results and outstanding service. We had several choices of excellent candidates and ended up with our ideal #1 choice. I was also impressed by Kimmo’s ability to grasp the fine details of our niche industry.
