Success Stories: About our clients

Kristen H., Virginia

Kristen found her dream job at a charitable organization within a research hospital in Tennessee. Transitioned from Consultant to Non-Profit. She did very well with TBG recruiter introductions and published market support programs. Had 5-6 interviews. Going from Consultant to Vice President of Strategy and doubling her income from $150K to $300K.

Jeff D., Virginia

Jeff had recently retired from the military. During the past year we helped him pull in over $150,000 in 1099 income. As his search for permanent employment took hold, we helped him to decide between four offers. With our continuing coaching, he has since received a major promotion and is working directly with the owner now.

James J., New York

James credits our interview coaching and skillful authoring of marketing materials as the major keys in overcoming age discrimination as he launched his search at age 63. His background academia was rewarded with a Dean of Education position.

Gary M., Quebec

Gary found great value in our databases, providing him the ability to get to people he wouldn’t have been able to contact through regular channels. He was able to do a major industry transition, maintaining his CEO role while moving from telecom to software.

With a comp package exceeding $1 million, he heads up a VC-backed firm in Calgary.

Eugene Q., Minnesota

Eugene landed three jobs with us so far through Circle of Influence and Recruiter processes. He came to us as an unemployed executive. He first landed a transition job with an agro conglomerate as a territory sales executive, ($165K comp) and then a VP of Sales position at a nationwide distributor ($196K), then, most recently, as General Manager of Global Sales for an industry leader ($225K).

Cindy R., South Carolina

Cindy was between opportunities when she engaged us. We found her a job as a COO in the unpublished market by making direct introductions to CEO/Chairmen at companies. She became a COO at an electronics firm in Rhode Island due to our efforts. When she decided to relocate to California we assisted her in opening her own consulting firm.

Brian H., Virginia

Brian received great response from the recruiter community once we did a full strategic rewrite on his resume and provided targeted introductions. We created numerous interviews for him, researching all companies and helping him with all leads. Brian’s Barrett Team delivered case-by-case interview coaching.

He landed at a 100% woman-staffed company and is loving the new position. He just moved his family out to Iowa and they are settling in nicely. His title went from SVP to CFO and his comp level is around $300K.

Brad W., New York

Brad came to us after being relieved of his VP position for a major retailer. We launched the processes in October and Brad landed his new position at the EVP level for a highly prestigious luxury retailer the following February.

We had introduced him to a recruiter who knew of a position that was open but there was little chance of him being presented. Under our guidance, Brad mined his reputation within the company and was able to get an interview. With our coaching, he was successful in the interview and negotiation process and he is now heading up a major corporate expansion nationwide.

Paul A., Montana

Paul had interviewed with a company eight months before coming on board with us and, at that time, turned down an offer which was well below his market value.

When they could not find a qualified candidate of Paul’s caliber they came back to the table, but this time Barrett was at Paul’s side! The new offer was negotiated up over $30K, well into the six figure range. Paul cinched the deal and more than recouped his Barrett fee through just our negotiation counseling.

Lena P., Florida

Lena went through a complete life change with Barrett at her side. After being laid off, she sold her house and followed our advice, enrolling in and completing a Masters program in Advanced Project Management that she would need for her next position.

With our assistance and guidance, she then launched her own consulting business, relocated to Maryland to start her new position, Senior Development Officer for a local university. Her compensation is in the six figure range.
