Testimonials

I had left the industry to be closer to home while my wife was dealing with potentially devastating health issues, took a job locally where I was overqualified and grossly underpaid. Once my wife returned to good health I entertained the thought of returning to the Security industry and tried finding something on my own and with no good luck. After getting my resume, Josh had interviews lined up for me with companies I had only dreamed of getting in the door with. He worked tirelessly for me to find the perfect fit for myself and my family. He got me an interview with my current employer and turned out to be the best thing that’s ever happened to me and for my family. I am eternally grateful to Josh for his commitment and personal investment in getting me where I needed to be. During the final steps of getting me onboard with my new employer, he was dealing with wildfires, a mass shooting that involved some of his coworkers and family friends, and even after being evacuated from his home he still kept the ball rolling for me and helped get me my Dream Job! I highly recommend Josh to anyone. So from myself and my family Thank You Josh for your talents, time, attention to detail and caring for my personal needs in a career I love and getting me to a company I can see myself growing with and eventually retiring from. Thank You!

I was fortunate enough to become a client of Josh's due to a friend who recommended him to me as "...the best recruiter he had ever worked with...". This is underselling Josh's customer focus and follow-up. Put bluntly, in 15 + years of professional sales, I have never worked with a recruiter who is so invested in making sure that his clients are represented well, follow-ups are done in a consistent and timely manner, and where you know he is truly fighting to get you the best match for your skills and culture requirements. Josh found a position that is the best fit FOR ME, and what I was looking for. If you want the absolute best, Josh is where you should look. Most recruiters just try to 'fill a spot'. Josh goes to unbelievable lengths to find a match where the employer and the prospective employee are truly on the same page so that the opportunity is a proper fit for the long term. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Josh and his attention to detail and customer service. Please reach out to me at any time for a recommendation or feedback to this truly gifted professional.

Simply put: Josh gets it. From the first of our frequent conversations, Josh has quickly set himself apart, both in what he does and the manner in which he does it. His professional approach has been by far the easiest for me to work with. Josh is reliable and forthright. His patience is matched equally by his follow through and dependability. His one-two combination of tactful commitment and authentic interest has translated into tremendous results for us in finding and grooming the right kind of talent to join our team. We’re talking top notch, gainfully employed professionals who come to understand and believe in our purpose and vision, until ultimately they end up coming through our doors, where they make an impact on day one. Ask for Josh first, he has not let me down.

I think a better title for Heidi would be career/life consultant... and she’s a good one at that. When I began to feel as though it may be time to make a career move, I didn’t know how to go about it as I had been with my previous employer for many years. I wasn’t sure what opportunities were out there and, more importantly, how to find a good cultural and personal fit for me. From my first conversation with Heidi those concerns were put to rest. She cares about the people with whom she works and she cares about which companies she works with for placements. I don’t have much experience working with “recruiters” but I can say, with 100% confidence, that within the AV industry and whichever other industries she may serve, Heidi Garrison should be your first call if you are considering taking that next step in your career and in life. In addition to all the professional assistance, I’m happy to be able to call her a friend.

Tim is best recruiter I have had the pleasure of working with and I have worked on both sides in job seeking and hiring. He went out of his way to help place me in a new career and listened to me every step of the way, making sure I was happy with the companies he was connecting me with. He assisted me in upgrading and improving my resume, gave some great interviewing advice and suggestions, and called me right after the interview to check in. Tim had several opportunities lined up for me within the first couple of days. In a very short time, I was starting in a new and exciting career with an area relocation. Tim made my transition from Kentucky to North Carolina seamless on the employment end and checked in to make sure the move was going okay. I highly recommend Tim. He is an amazing recruiter and will become someone you consider a friend during the time you work together. I could not be happier with all the hard work he put into placing me!

I recently had a the pleasure of working with Heidi to get where I am now. She has a personality and attitude that makes the whole process as easy and stress free as it can be. She had originally contacted me on a Friday after recommendation from a mutual friend, I sent over my resume and by the following Monday she already had an interview lined up for later that day. I worked with her for a little over a month and through the whole process she was kind and professional, but also strait forward and would tell you like it is. She wasn't just a recruiter, she takes it to a more personal level to get to know you and about your family and takes it in to account when she would contact possible employers. Heidi is truly great at what she does and I am thankful I was able to work with her.

Derek is the example of which any recruiter should strive to be. At first I was skeptical of going with a recruiter that called me, especially someone on the opposite coast, but that quickly changed. Derek not only listened to my experiences, concerns, and desires regarding potential companies, but he also made me feel important. Throughout the entire process Derek worked diligently to communicate with the companies I had interviewed with and negotiated any requests I may have had. As a result of his diligence and interpersonal skills, I received offers from all the companies I interviewed with. When the time came to make a decision over the course of a few days, Derek was always there to take my phone calls or texts to answer questions, negotiate salaries, and ease any concerns I had nagging in the back of my mind. He stood up for me as a person, not just a number he was trying to place in a job. As a result of Derek's hard work I was able to advance my career at a reputable company and I honestly cannot thank him enough. While like anyone, I hope I may never need to find another job, but if I ever do, Derek Avery will definitely be the first person I contact.

Tim is more than just a recruiter. He is also a great professional coach and mentor. He went out of his way, seemingly working night and day, to help place me in a new career. He assisted me in upgrading and improving my resume, gave some great interviewing advice and suggestions, and even helped me study and prepare for interviews. Tim had several opportunities lined up for me within the first couple of days. In just two short weeks, I was hired and starting in a new and exciting career. A mid-life career transition can be difficult and challenging. Tim made my transition nearly seamless. I highly recommend Tim. He is an amazing recruiter.

Heidi is by FAR the best recruiter that I have ever worked with. I always been scared to work with recruiters just because of a few experiences I had in the past with someone being pushy, not looking out for my best interests, etc. But now, I will never look another direction when looking for a new position in AV. I felt like I was able to be myself around Heidi, and that decreased my stress and anxiety levels when talking to potential employers. She was really concerned about finding the best fit for me, and not settling for a spot that I could have gone to and finally had a salary. Heidi was invested in my future, trying to find the right company for me that fits who I am as a person, and she definitely found that for me. I appreciate all of her hard work and I will definitely recommend her to anyone in the industry looking for a position.

I had a LinkedIn contact with Tim and then sent in a resume on his company website as his profile impressed me. He contacted me within 10 minutes of filling out the Security Search & Consulting website profile. This is lighting fast in any industry. In our first conversation he had an great job opportunity for me that matched my work talents to a tee. He allowed me to complete the job search that I was already committed to. He did not pressure me to break my commitments that I had already started. He spent enough time on the phone with me to understand what type of work that I wanted and respected the conditions I required for employment. They were allot and rather detailed. If I were to be searching for another opportunity in the future, I can guarantee that Tim McCarthy would be the 1st person that I would contact. He is a man of his word and I find that to be honorable. In this dog eat dog world that is a quality that is rare to find. It was a pleasure to almost do business with you and under other circumstances I would have. I expect any employee to to his job. Mr. McCarthy went above and beyond regular job performance and that is why I am giving him a recommendation. If you are a talented employee this is the person to contact.
