What Clients Are Saying About Us

I have had the pleasure of utilizing Ron and his firm throughout my 26 years in Information Technology in the DFW area. I have employed both full-time employees and contractors from Ron. The FTEs that were hired through Ron at my current employer are still with us after ten years. I think you find that Ron and his team are very ethical and provide you with valuable resources in an almost immediate timeframe due to his vast knowledge and network of professionals in our Metroplex. Ron takes great pride in understanding your needs and ensuring the match is rewarding for both parties.

Jim H. Davis III, Senior Vice President Global Networks

Fidelity Investments

Over my IT career, I have worked with many executive recruiting firms. However, yours stands out as one of the finest. Your ability to respond to Levi’s demanding staffing requirements, by far, outperforms other firms that I have engaged. Another attribute is the quality and in-depth experience your candidates have. Their technical ability and IT knowledge is far superior to the candidates submitted by other recruiting firms. I also appreciate your price competitiveness and ongoing support of the candidates that you deliver. Thank you for making this part of a difficult process simple.

Ron Koehler, previously Director: Global Server/Storage Technologies

Levi Strauss & Company

Ron is a consummate professional, with an extensive network of contacts, and a work ethic that places him well ahead of the competition. He has performed very well for me at both the personal and corporate staffing levels. I have hired ten candidates from Ron’s firm, and they have always exceeded my expectations.

Mike Soulakis, System Manager

Citigroup, Inc.

I have worked with Ron Ritchey since 1995. Organizations that I have led have hired over 50 professional and management people using Ron’s services. He always finds a number of qualified candidates in a timely manner. I’m confident that every candidate that Ron presents to me is qualified, sincere and understands the position. They have all passed his very thorough screening prior to him ever presenting them to me. When my employment situation put me on the market, Ron represented me to some of the finest employers in the D/FW area. He is highly respected by these companies due to his professional ethics, excellent results and superior knowledge of these clients and their business.
Twice he was successful in placing me in very rewarding roles.

Ron Ritchey is the finest Professional and Technical recruiter that I have worked with during my 28+ years of Information Technology within the Financial Services industry. He was the first recruiter that I had ever personally used and is the only one that I will ever use. He was the only one that ever exhibited strong morale ethics, superb integrity, and maintained high value and trust with his clients and the companies he represents. He does a superb job of matching the requirements of his clients to a pool of very reliable, capable, experienced support team members. He utilizes his own ethics, values, and technical and professional experience when selecting potential candidates for his client companies. He values this relationship with his client companies by consistently providing candidates that are the best in their field of expertise.

Ken Clarke, previously Vice President

Fidelity Investments

Ron has been a trusted business associate of mine for over 20 years. Unlike many recruiters I have worked with he has always represented candidates or positions accurately and is highly credible in matching positions and talent. Ron’s professionalism, integrity, and quality standards make him a top choice for me whether I am hiring or conducting a search of my own.

Brian Bilodeau, previously Vice President

Sterling Commerce, Inc.

I have worked with Ron for more than 15 years and in that time, he has always demonstrated the highest degree of professionalism and integrity. Ron has always represented potential candidates and employers accurately. He always follows through and delivers on requests in a timely manner. I have always felt that Ron’s goal was to provide a mutually good fit between a potential candidate and employer. Ron’s highest interest has always been to serve his clients well and to establish mutually beneficial long term relationships. Ron uses his thorough understanding of the IT recruiting industry, flexibility, patience and low-key approach to establish a good rapport with candidates. I have hired many of Ron’s candidates and all of them have turned out to be excellent employees. Furthermore, I have found out that all of them have the same respect and appreciation for Ron as I do. I highly recommend usage of his services and establishing a long-term relationship with him.

Elliot Weitzman, previously SVP Technology

MBNA

I’ve used Performance Recruiters for over 15 years and have always relied on the quality of candidates presented by them. Performance knows the market and has a proven track record of ethics and professionalism which keeps me going back to them when my requisitions open. I’ve used other recruiting firms, but none have delivered with reliability and quality like Performance.

Tony Ulichnie, previously VP

Fidelity Investments

Ron Ritchey is the most professional and ethical person that I worked with in this field. In all my experiences with him, he presented a clear understanding of my recruiting needs and provided me the right candidates with requested skill sets. During the process he continued to follow up with me to make sure all goes by my expectation. I really enjoyed myself with him and will continue to work him for my future recruiting needs. I have been recommending Ron to others when I see the opportunity.

 

Ron, I much appreciated all your work helping me finding the strong people for my team.

Fereshteh Abadi, Database Manager

Rent-A-Center, Inc.

Ron Ritchey of Performance Recruiters is one of the most knowledgeable IT recruiters that I’ve dealt with. He’s not only knowledgeable of the IT job market in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but he understands the IT profession. I’ve found this to be invaluable because I didn’t have to explain every facet of what I do and what my skill sets are, like so many recruiters who are just sales reps selling the product of the month. In addition, this means that his clients will have a greater respect for him as well. Also, Ron proved that he was like a bulldog with a bone in working with his client on my behalf. He kept me up to date on the status of the process and always kept me in the loop. There’s no doubt that if I’m in the job market again I want Ron Ritchey working for me!
