Private Equity Executive Search

"Ruben is an outstanding recruiter and business partner. He worked to quickly understand our business. Ruben and the Blue Rock team have made a direct impact to our company’s ability to meet our growth targets, and he is able to work effectively in a fast paced, ever-changing internal and external environment. I appreciate his insight and partnership greatly."

"Our experience with Blue Rock has been has been a game changer with regards to HR talent. The team has been extremely service minded and demonstrated a level of flexibility and agility that has helped us land fantastic talent. Kudos to the team but Josh in particular for his nuanced understanding of our value proposition."

"I've known Ruben for 15+ years. He’s helped me professionally as a mentor and on multiple occasions helped me build my team or filled a targeted key role.  His network in the HR space is extensive and combined with his excellent approach to finding talent you’ll find he can present a great slate of talent in a very short period of time. Twice I started a new role and found myself with multiple openings and in both cases I was fully staffed in about two months time. The players I added went on to bigger roles, so he won’t just fill a role - he’ll find talent with great potential. I also value his high touch as he personally sees each candidate through to the final steps to ensure a smooth transition. If you have a need in the HR space, I highly recommend him."

"Ruben is a true business partner. He takes the time to get to know your business and how the role you are seeking to fill fits in to delivering against your objectives. He then challenges your thought process and opens you and your team up to candidates that might not have otherwise been on your list for consideration. The best talent for a role may not be in your industry, but could readily make the transition and be wildly successful if you are open to the possibility. Ruben delivers against his commitments in terms of high quality and timeliness and he is honest about what it is going to take “to get the deal done. It is a pleasure to work with him."

"Ruben's attention to detail, willingness to get to know me (and my family), and insights made him a pleasure to work with during my most recent job search. I'd suggest that he effectively balances being an advocate for candidates and a good steward for his client companies."

"Ruben is one of the most knowledgeable HR leaders I know. Over the past eight years he helped me build teams in multiple organizations, provided exceptional coaching, and is strategic. He will help you solve HR problems. He has a unique eye for great people and has an uncanny ability to assess those he meets. He will get to the heart of the matter quickly and find you the highest caliber of talent. Coupled with this, on a personal level, he is one of the finest people I know."

"Ryan is by far the most attentive recruiter I have encountered in my career. He has a deep respect for ensuring the candidate experience is well-thought-out and delightful. He cares more about making a great fit, rather than making just a placement, and that speaks volumes for who he is as a person. I would gladly work with him again if the opportunity presented itself."

“I was introduced to Blue Rock by a trusted colleague. I learned very quickly how much value they bring. Blue Rock has not only brought us high caliber talent but have been a great partner. They have taken the time to understand our business, our people, and our culture. This both enhances the quality of the candidates that we receive and enables Blue Rock to be a much broader resource for us."

"I came to know Blue Rock Search as a candidate and was impressed by their meticulous experience management and private equity expertise. I am now a client and have engaged them for multiple searches. Blue Rock excels at mapping talent markets, quickly identifying pipelines, and ensuring timely follow-up. Their industry expertise and passion deliver results consistently. I highly recommend them as a resource for executive search needs."

Blue Rock recently did a phenomenal job for Shoreline on a very important executive search. I highly recommend using them!

I was introduced to Blue Rock about a year ago and have used them (and referred them) multiple times since. Overall, their engagement is excellent and they show clear expertise when it comes to finding and placing strong HR talent. They do two things really well, which are essential for great executive search partners: 1) consistent, clear and through communication, and 2) high quality candidate pipelines. They clearly know the talent market well, and their comprehensive approach to a great search process is top-notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking high quality talent for their organization.
