Our Client Testimonials

“Tony and his team at SRI are pivotal in providing us high caliber staffing to fill critical roles for us at breakneck speeds. In a satellite office where we have less than 20 people on site, skill is just as much a qualification as personality fit to the organization. In today’s job market, it is very time consuming to find the right fit to fill multi-faceted, niche positions but I can always trust Tony and his team to provide me with the best available candidates in short order. As an example, we lost a buyer-planner in the midst of our busy season, the SRI team had three excellent candidates to me in less than a week. As a result, we were able to keep the process running with no expensive hiccups and go on to our highest grossing year in production by +25%!! “

Former Director of Operations, Global Outdoor Products Manufacturer
“Nick Cooney and the SRI team helped place me with my career/future working for a Medical Device Contract Manufacturer back in 2012. Today, I am still with the same company. I started as a Quality Specialist, and now, a Global Quality Director managing multiple sites. Because of the validated experience that Nick and the SRI team has with sourcing the RIGHT candidates for the positions, we rely and trust Nick and the SRI Team to deliver. Nick has sourced me with my entire Quality Assurance team which consists of 4 experienced Quality Engineers, 1 Quality Supervisor, and many other temporary contractors within the past 10-12 years, let alone he has also sourced some key leadership positions within the business units.”

“I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Tony Agnello for over 20 years through 3 different organizations and 2 vastly different industries. Tony has been our HR team’s go-to recruiter and the first call that we make when we have a difficult position to fill. He’s been able to quickly understand our needs and the skillset of candidates that work best in our organization. We’ve thrown some tough and very niche positions at him throughout the years, and he’s come through every time with incredible candidates. I couldn’t recommend working with Tony and the SRI team more!”

CHRO, NBA Franchise
“As my company’s HR leader, I have used SRI, Chris Murray and Chris Glanzman for a number of searches over the years. The search firm and Chris M and Chris G, have understood the company culture, listened to our needs and developed a compressive search strategy delivering many qualified candidates. I highly recommend SRI and their team If you are searching for manufacturing leadership or front of the house supervisory/management team members.“

-Executive Director Speciality Services, $383.5M, Automotive Industry

HR Leader, Food Manufacturer
“Having worked with Tony at SRI since arriving in Chicago 17 years ago, he has placed many candidates with me over the years. Unlike many recruiters, Tony prefers to work with a tight brief and take a targeted head-hunting approach to finding and pre-qualifying relevant candidates. This enables me to invest time focusing on a smaller group of suitable candidates – it’s an efficient and successful process. From heavy-hitting Business Developers to mid-weight Concept Designers and everything in-between, SRI has placed tons of candidates with me, many of whom are still in place. I would (and have) highly recommended them to connections inside and outside of my industry.”

Ryan takes the time to study the opportunity and his client. This is the personal touch that ensures the right candidate for the job. We look forward to working with them in the future.”

“I have been working with SRI since 2016 and they have consistently helped us source and place high-quality candidates at our company. When I think of our highest performing team members and longest tenured team members, most of them were referred through SRI. SRI partners with us throughout the entire search process and even when we are not engaged in an active search, they reach out to stay in touch so they truly understand the ebbs and flows and needs of the business. It has truly been a pleasure to work with the SRI Team and I look forward to our continued partnership in the years to come.”

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Tony Agnello for the last 14 years. Tony and SRI literally changed the course of my career. It was through Tony and SRI's recruitment that allowed me to join a company that I love working for. I've been able to promote at various levels to where I am currently and without that fateful conversation with Tony 14 years ago, I know I wouldn't be in the position that I'm in now. In addition, I've worked with Tony and SRI to assist in filling open positions at the same company with successful results. Tony always periodically checks in with me, so I have a deep respect and gratitude for what he and SRI have done for me personally. I'd recommend SRI and Tony in a heartbeat."
