Testimonials

We worked very closely with Jeremy to assemble a work-class team of thought leaders and high track-record executives for a game changing cyber market roll-up.  He is a person of unimpeachable integrity and deep domain expertise—second to none in his field.  It is astounding to observe the trust and confidence that he carries throughout the industry.  From luminaries to proven/rising top executives, professionals go to Jeremy to guide their talent strategy and execute organizational charts for the future.  Jeremy tirelessly and unselfishly plays it forward—his instinct to connect the right people who have uncanny chemistry and shared values seems to spawn tremendous commercial opportunities.  Jeremy is also a true patriot and the underpinning of his great success in his field is a commitment to protecting the nation’s assets and intellectual property.  If you need a guru for solving your talent needs, you go to Jeremy King.

We selected Benchmark through a defined vetting process and have now worked with Jeremy and his team across multiple (successful) searches for a variety of roles: CEO, President and CRO. Jeremy has a well-deserved reputation for integrity, excellence, and market insight. Benchmark’s end to end process is thorough, candidates are prepared and know what to expect, and the process is highly effective. We continue to work with Jeremy and his team on successive searches as he and his team deliver results.

We selected Benchmark due to their knowledge and network in the IC/DoD space. They submitted solid candidates and we closed on our top choice. They are not afraid to open their rolodex of advisors and influencers to continue adding value. They are now my new “benchmark” for any search firm we work with. Bottom line – they care, take pride in their craft and it shows. I highly recommend Jeremy and Benchmark.

Benchmark and Jeremy have been a creative and thoughtful partner as Premise has established its Federal approach. As we all know, Federal is a journey unlike any other: without expert advice, connections, networking help, and the passion for the mission, it can be brutal and unproductive. Jeremy and Benchmark are trusted guides and we could not imagine going it alone!

The team at Benchmark surpassed my expectations for my company’s first VP Federal search. He quickly understood our business and value proposition, and was able to clearly communicate them to prospects despite a technical product and platform. Jeremy is one of the best networked people I’ve met in the defense and intelligence communities, and has the reputation of a trusted broker making mutually advantageous connections between feds and private companies. I would work with Jeremy again in a heartbeat, and Benchmark would be my first recommendation to anyone looking to hire a senior public sector executive.

In my 18 year VC career, I never met a recruiter as strong as Jeremy King. He’s the humble connecter.  He thinks about both sides. People trust him 100%. I trust him 100%. Starting from a small base, he has built USA’s premier Federal/Tech recruiting boutique. Jeremy is by FAR the most trusted career advisor for senior execs & tech officials leaving military & intelligence agencies. And thus, he’s the only recruiter to use to hire them!

Benchmark is a true partner in building a world class team. They bring integrity, excellence, and deep market insight to the process and delivered great candidates. They do the extra work to make sure the candidate is both a talent and cultural fit so you end up with a leader and not just an ‘A’ player. Beyond the core executive search function, Jeremy King is a unique partner in helping executives find the strategic relationships that are key to growing value and providing a better service to clients- particularly in the Public Sector Market. This is a result of his diligent support of the most trusted people in our industry and their faith in his integrity. With regard to Jeremy’s leadership in MissionLink — Jeremy is a superb leader and connector performing a tremendous service for Government and Industry. His diligence, professionalism, and thoughtfulness shows in the strength of his relationships and the unquestionable respect that he has from people across the Defense and Intelligence Community. MissionLink has been a key supporter and enabler of our success in the Federal Market. Jeremy has been a substantial part of that.

They can be trusted with the most mission critical assignments. I found their integrity refreshing, and believe it’s one of the things that really set them apart.

We came to Benchmark for their strong reputation and understanding of the Federal landscape. In a highly confidential search, we were seeking a ‘needle in a haystack’ and Benchmark Executive Search helped us find exactly the right leader we needed to support Fixmo’s growth plans. Our ideal candidate needed to be a proven player in the IC/DoD and have the ability to create and implement a strategic plan to achieve significant growth. Their shortlist candidates all hit the mark and we relied on their unique dashboard feature and ranking system, which helped us determine the best fit for the job quickly and efficiently.

Our challenge to Benchmark Executive Search was very specific – we wanted to find a leader with the ideal skill set and culture fit for Narus. We needed to find a proven executive with a strong reputation and ability to walk the halls within both the Intelligence Community and DoD with the ability to build a team and grow our federal sales. Benchmark went above and beyond to present us with the select few candidates that met our needs, and their flexibility, customized and personalized approach really made a difference. I recommend them highly to anyone in the technology or federal arena, and especially to fast growing companies with game-changing technologies who want to penetrate or scale their federal operations.

Upon needing to find an industry leading general manager and national security leader, we engaged Jeremy King/Benchmark due to their strong performance for us in the past.  I was impressed at the number of key advisors from across Customer and Industry landscape who Jeremy called upon to help in the search. Jeremy provided a personal touch that was first rate and he identified candidates far beyond my expectations. He was instrumental in providing many quality candidates and helping me to down-select to three industry leaders before making the final selection. Jeremy was instrumental in helping me close the final candidate and I have been thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Jeremy and Benchmark.

When we had a critical need to find and hire one of the leading cyber security strategists in the country, we engaged Jeremy King and Benchmark for the search. We knew of the firm’s outstanding connections and they were highly recommended by numerous luminaries in the cyber world. Benchmark made it difficult to choose among the superstar candidates they presented.

Accenture Federal asked Benchmark to find one of the country’s top cyber security strategists and architects. Given this narrow pool of candidates to target, an additional requirement was the individual must be a world-class evangelizer of their new cyber vision to their customers, prospective customers, partners, and industry. Gus Hunt was the perfect fit.  We are excited that Gus has joined our team, as his expertise can help our federal clients identify new approaches to better safeguard their agencies. He brings the experience, vision and passion to help our clients better understand their highest-value assets, address their threats and vulnerabilities, and effectively protect themselves within their budget and technology constraints.

The board selected Benchmark for our CEO search due to their reputation for integrity, excellence, and deep market insight. Benchmark has a unique and proven alignment methodology that involves buy-in from all team members in the very beginning, constant communication and in-depth updates along the way. Jeremy’s ability to very quickly assess issues made the entire process run smoothly and efficiently. We got the result and leader we wanted.

I’ve worked with Jeremy and Benchmark for more than seven years.  Over those years Jeremy and Benchmark’s results, relationships, and successes have been impressive, but what is most impressive are the enduring values, passion, and commitment to success that Jeremy brings to everything he pursues. Jeremy gives from the heart.  His work as a connector has enabled America’s Warrior Partnership to benefit from thought leaders and technology experts who’ve taken our nonprofit to a higher level.  Taking his commitment to the next level Jeremy has generously given of his time, treasure, and talent to serve as a Director for America’s Warrior Partnership.  Jeremy is a leader who brings an incredible level of energy and strategic focus to our board and organization. Jeremy is a values based leader who easily builds relationships which result in cross-sector success for both individuals and organizations.

We had a great experience with Benchmark Executive Search.  We worked exclusively with Jeremy King who took the time to understand who we were, our culture, and what we were looking for in our SVP search.  From the first conversation it felt like he just got us.  He fully understood where we were as an organization, where we were headed, and the type of candidate that we needed.  Jeremy made our decision very tough by providing three equally strong candidates.  In the end we made our selection and she has turned out to be the perfect match, fully aligned with our culture and vision.  We will definitely use Benchmark again and strongly recommend them for any organization seeking their next leader.

While happily employed with a large publicly traded Systems Integrator I was contacted by Benchmark several times. I finally met with them to acknowledge their persistence but also their ability to show up at some very exclusive session in the DC area. Having experienced the big brands it was refreshing to work with benchmark and see how they applied industry knowledge, board-level relationships, and detailed method for aligning buyer to candidate. Soon after accepting the new post I hired benchmark to help me fill up a new team and they were superior to work with as the buyer also.

As an advisor to Benchmark Executive Search, and as a client, I can state without qualification that Benchmark and Mr. Jeremy King will find you a Leader that surpasses all expectations. Jeremy understands the intersection of government policy, business growth, individual leadership styles that fit a company, company culture and goals, ethics in action, risk management, rapidly shifting political trends, and rapidly shifting technology trends, opportunities and dangers. He has all this knowledge at his fingertips and can overlay that highly unique synthesis as it applies to a position requirement and candidates. He will assist in framing the position requirement and he will deliver the best candidates, or he will not take the search if he does not think he can do so. His track record is one of unmatched success and commendations.

After a decade of positive interaction with Jeremy King and the Benchmark team for hiring critical positions in my own companies, I was surprised when approached as a candidate for a board position with a satellite asset tracking company. Seeing Benchmark from the other side of the table, I quickly recognized why their candidates were so strong in their loyalty and commitment to the Benchmark team. As a candidate I was treated with the utmost respect and information about the opportunity was constantly updated. I successfully competed for that board role and enjoyed a terrific exit outcome for a company that had struggled for years. I have seen Benchmark’s capabilities from both sides of the table – all very positive experiences.

Benchmark made it difficult to choose among the superstar candidates they presented.

Jeremy and the Benchmark team distinguished themselves in three aspects critical to our business. First, they have the most thorough understanding of the government sector, including customer needs, legacy and emerging technologies, and personal relationships with market leaders. Second, they quickly developed a very nuanced perspective of our business needs, from our technology through to our culture and worked tirelessly with us to get the right candidate in the right role. Finally, the value-add they bring with targeted introductions to potential agency customers, partners, and SME’s truly makes them unique. I would recommend the Benchmark team without reservation.

ATSC was looking for a senior executive who had both management and operational leadership experience, and specifically, someone who had successfully scaled government services organization’s under $100 million dollars. Benchmark Executive Search brought us a number of strong candidates, and the very first one was the perfect match for the position and our company culture. However, it was Benchmark’s unique profiling, targeting, and matching system for screening and ranking candidates that really provided the extra value to our decision-making process. Their network of elite talent in the DoD and civilian sectors is top notch.

Benchmark did a great job working with us to truly understand our needs and help us refine those needs as our confidential EVP Federal Sector search progressed. Their unique candidate targeting and benchmarking model produced an exceptional shortlist of executives and resulted in the hiring of our top choice.

By far the most important key to our success at Fortress is the quality of our employees, so we take our hiring practices and selection process very seriously. We know we can rely on Benchmark as a trusted partner because they understand our market and requirements, bring us the best-qualified candidates, and do so in a very efficient manner. We have been delighted with their results and I would recommend Benchmark to anyone but our competitors.

USIS entrusted Benchmark to lead a highly confidential search to recruit a Chief Information Officer/strategic business partner for our CEO, Bill Mixon. Benchmark developed a candidate profile that was on target, led a very thorough process, brought strong candidates to the table and helped us close our top pick. For government contractors seeking high-impact executive talent, I strongly recommend Benchmark for their professionalism, integrity and results.

First and foremost Benchmark understands the importance of a mission; the mission of their clients and our clients. The Benchmark team is both highly efficient and effective because they understand that every week in our business is a lifetime and that human capital is our most important asset. Their network of senior officials from government and industry are unmatched in my experience.

Benchmark has been a very valuable resource for brokering introductions to leading government contractors and promising startups. The partners understand the unique needs of companies looking to expand their federal presence and match them with the right talent.

The Partners at Benchmark are professionals with an outstanding knowledge of the executive landscape in the DC area. They helped us find and land an extraordinary individual to join our board of directors.

We retained Benchmark to recruit an impact player. They quickly introduced us to quality candidates. We not only hired the executive of our choice, we also hired a candidate presented for a different role. Their knowledge and network in the Federal space is superb. I recommend them highly.

Our experience working with Pete and Benchmark was very positive. Benchmark is more than a search firm, we received real strategic value from Pete and team that helped us think through a number of critical issues such as organizational structure and development, market positioning, fund raising and making key introductions, e.g. they introduced Zenoss to an important industry analyst with Gartner, a key influencer in our space. I highly recommend them for their strategic value, recruiting expertise and results as well as integrity, professionalism and responsiveness.

Benchmark’s ability to understand our technology and markets had a material impact on the accuracy and quality of their results. Benchmark recruited a proven and talented executive for our VP of Marketing role. I will use them again and definitely recommend Benchmark to companies looking for a partner to build out their executive team.

Educate’s business is one where we needed very specific experience not readily found in the area.  Benchmark was a very professional representative of our firm, ran a strong process and recruited a VP of Marketing that hit the mark.  I have worked with Benchmark before, so can say that they are adept at managing client and candidate communication and closing the candidate of choice.  I strongly recommend them for attracting A–players.

Benchmark knows the search business, are highly responsive and get strong results in a timely manner. They filled two critical executive positions for us: SVP of Product Development and VP of Product Management. The candidates we landed had direct experience and are impact players on Netcordia’s executive team. We would use them again and highly recommend Benchmark to recruit ‘Top Performers’.

Benchmark understood our needs and fielded a very high quality short list of candidates. We were able to find the perfect candidate from that list and we completed the search in two weeks. The partners at Benchmark are experts at understanding early stage/emerging technology companies and how to attract and close A–talent. I was very impressed by the entire experience and would use them again.

The team at Benchmark quickly understood our business and specific position requirements, bringing us top notch executive candidates that really hit the mark.

The team at Benchmark understood our very specific needs, introduced solid candidates that fit the profile, and helped us close the candidate of our choice. Their network of senior business development executives within the Federal sector is outstanding. I would recommend Benchmark to Government IT firms looking to add A–players to their team.

SkyBitz turned to their team to help us with key executive positions. They located and landed experienced players (Chairman, CFO, CTO) and managed the recruitment process with particular expediency, skill and diplomacy. They are more than a recruiting firm, in that they are a true business partner providing relevant business advice and additional valueadded introductions. I most strongly recommend them to CEO’s or Boards looking to attract worldclass talent in a timely fashion with a close fit for the specifications of the search.

The level of service we receive from Benchmark is unmatched. After developing an in-depth understanding of our personnel needs, Benchmark manages the entire recruitment process from beginning to end. I appreciate how Benchmark quickly, professionally and thoroughly, brings Brabeion the very best candidates.

The firm is savvy, insightful and scrappy. The partners clearly are experts at understanding early stage/emerging technology companies and how to attract A–talent.

After considering a number of firms to help build our senior management team, we chose them. We could not be more pleased. They worked hard as an extension of the Scentric team. Their strong network, responsiveness, persistence and ability to articulate our opportunity succeeded in landing four all star SVP/VP level executives from the well known companies in the data management space. We highly recommend them as a partner you can entrust to exceed expectations.

The team went above and beyond to find me a worldclass CFO with multiple successes in venturebacked companies. They get a letter of commendation from me for their persistence and patience during the whole process. They helped me land the very best of an impressive group of candidates. I am very happy with their service.

Their experience, expertise, track record (and resilience during the process) created a very successful CEO search for Newmerix…we fully endorse their capability.

I’ve worked with a number of executive recruiters, and I know that these partners are the crème de la crème. They took the time to understand our business, the chemistry we were looking for and presented a quality group of candidates in a very short period of time. They managed our recruitment process in the most organized way I’ve experienced, and went the full distance with us as we closed the candidate of our choice. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to recruit the very best talent.

They found the perfect candidate in the first two weeks. He is the impact player we were hoping to land.

They took the time to understand our business, and immediately produced the quality candidates we were seeking. Being very handson and aggressive, they managed the process until we closed the candidate of our choice. I recommend them to any company who wants to recruit the best talent within their industry.

As part of our global growth plans which entailed entering the US Federal Market for technical engineering services, exp Federal engaged Benchmark to source several strategic candidates to lead our business development efforts and the basis of our US leadership team. They quickly knew the candidates and markets we were targeting and were able to source excellent candidates with backgrounds in all of the relevant fields that we were interested in pursuing. Their partners fostered on-going communications with the candidates throughout the selection process and helped exp Federal define their growth objectives to these candidates in order to become part of the story and future growth of our new executive team.

As a senior executive working in the federal/security sector, it has been my privilege to work with Jeremy King and the team at Benchmark.  Over the past 15 years, I have been presented opportunities that are totally germane to my area of expertise, and represented by Benchmark with exceptional professionalism and expertise.  Benchmark’s “differentiator” is their commitment to fully understanding a client’s needs, then matching it to ideal candidates at the A level.  This is achieved by extensive research, market/product knowledge and relationship intimacy that is rarely found in other executive search firms.  This affords both the candidate and the hiring entity, a swift and very precise engagement, that reduces hiring process cycles and produces highly effective results.  My experience with Benchmark also includes guidance and interpretation of the match, such that all parties are confident the right choice is mutually beneficial and destined for success.  I have the utmost respect and confidence in the Benchmark team and am proud to be part of their candidate network.

When I first connected to Benchmark, I was happily employed as the COO of a great mid-sized company in the GOVCON space and had never envisioned myself leaving.  Jeremy understood this dynamic and helped me understand what it was I wanted out of my career.  As I reflect on my transition to the new opportunity, it really was Jeremy’s candor and transparency that facilitated the move.  It wasn’t just about whether or not this particular opportunity was the right fit for me, but rather finding what it was that makes me tick.   As it turns out, the initial opportunity turned out to be a great fit, and I’m happy with my transition on both a personal and professional level   I am deeply appreciative of Jeremy’s guidance, and I highly recommend Benchmark and look forward to a long-lasting relationship.

Benchmark contacted me in December 2017 and his timing was perfect.  From my first interaction with Jeremy, I knew he had my interests and his clients’ interests at the center of his efforts. His approach gets beyond the resume and to the heart of what matters to all parties. This led to the perfect, dream job for me.  My advice—if you are contacted by Jeremy, listen!

My experience with Benchmark and Jeremy was first class from the very start. He was extremely thorough which gave me confidence that the process would ensure success for both myself and his client(now my employer). I truly felt the partnership where his goal was to make a successful match versus just another placement. I will work with Jeremy in the future and would certainly recommend his company to anyone.

Jeremy and the Benchmark team are consummate professionals who take pride in bringing the right people and businesses together. Jeremy is committed to ensuring that they provide the best possible candidates to fit his clients respective role. Before Jeremy wouldn’t even think about presenting a potential candidate to a client he does do extensive reference checks as well as put them through his own rigorous selection process to understand every aspect of how the candidate thinks, performs, strategizes, leads and managers, all traits that will ultimately reflect the reputation he has built in the market. Jeremy owns this process and makes no exceptions to simply speed up a process, he is all about quality not quantity which speaks volumes in his business. Once Jeremy places the candidate he also works tirelessly to extend his extensive network to ensure again that the right people are connected and ultimately driving organizational success. It’s no wonder that military and organizational leaders choose Benchmark Executive Search time and again.

The process that lead both parties – the KEYW Holdings Board of Directors and me, mutually – to come to the decision that joining the company as the next President and CEO was the absolute right move was thorough and engaging. Perhaps the greatest statement I can make about Benchmark Executive Search is their commitment to alignment – that both parties needed to make informed decisions to ensure ideal fit. Personally, I could not have asked for anything more. I cannot say enough about Benchmark’s role in that process – search should always work this way.

When Jeremy first contacted me about an executive role with a premier cyber company, I was impressed by his exceptional candor and responsiveness. Jeremy was a true pleasure to work with through the entire process. There was no pressure at any point, and there was also complete openness about everything to consider in making this career move. Jeremy surpassed all of my expectations regarding the process, and I would highly recommend Benchmark to any prospective candidates.

I’ve had literally 100’s of Exec Search consultants contact me over the years. No regrets on the path I chose but I do wonder what might of been had I met Benchmark’s Jeremy King earlier in my career. He ‘placed me’ for the first time in my career. What struck me from start to finish with Benchmark was that Jeremy knew me better than I knew myself after he took me through a 360* analysis! His attention to detail is impeccable and gave me the confidence to put my trust in his hands because he was a relentless advocate for BOTH ‘Buyer’ and ‘Seller’ which is rarer still.

When it comes to understanding and conjoining the needs of the organization with prospective talent, Benchmark Executive Search epitomizes these values. My recent experience was nothing short of exemplary; Benchmark served both parties with the level of attention and detail as if it were serving only one account. Further, Benchmark possesses a deep knowledge of the functional space around National Security while masterfully managing sensitive information with effective communication and appropriate discretion. I highly laud Benchmark and would recommend their expertise for any commercial organization seeking to make an impact.

Benchmark is the best Executive Search firm I have encountered. Their passion, integrity and commitment to excellence are unmatched. Jeremy King is a trusted professional of character and expert in national and cyber security. I value and seek his advice. Benchmark is my #1 choice to find the right talent to meet any mission need.

Look folks, over the years I’ve worked with Korn Ferry, Heidrick Struggles and Russel Reynolds. I found Benchmark’s process to produce the best results for both client and candidate in the US Federal markets. They perform a thoughtful career assessment of each candidate to help the C-suite hire the best candidate in terms of personality, operational excellence and cultural fit. Jeremy is a strong and respected business leader that has dedicated his career to this market and will make thoughtful recommendations to ensure your business grows.

Jeremy King/Benchmark is leading the way in bringing together expertise from private industry and the government to deliver national security solutions. Jeremy’s understanding of innovative companies and cutting-edge technology allows for meaningful placements with companies that are making a difference. They were a true partner in helping to make my next career move. Jeremy leveraged his network to open doors across a range of innovative companies. After my successful placement, the Benchmark Team transitioned from helping to find opportunities to ensuring immediate success through regular follow-up and introductions across industry.

To describe Benchmark Executive Search as merely an executive recruiting firm would be understating the total value they bring to their clients. Their network of candidates is top notch. Their expertise in the government sector is unparalleled and their strategic executive relationships are critical to building success for their clients. Not only will they find the right candidate, they will help you shape the go to market strategy and targets to ensure success.

As a candidate, I found the process with Benchmark to be unique.  The first step involves a deep understanding of the intricacies of a candidate’s career and qualifications.  This results in a thoughtful fit for both the candidate and the hiring organization, based on a true understanding of needs and capabilities.  Jeremy connected me with a firm that I never would have found on my own and I am truly pleased with the outcome.  He represented me well throughout the process and I was always informed.

The process that lead both parties – the KEYW Holdings Board of Directors and me, mutually – to come to the decision that joining the company as the next President and CEO was the absolute right move was thorough and engaging. Perhaps the greatest statement I can make about Benchmark Executive Search is their commitment to alignment – that both parties needed to make informed decisions to ensure ideal fit. Personally, I could not have asked for anything more. I cannot say enough about Benchmark’s role in that process – search should always work this way.

Benchmark is the best Executive Search firm I have seen. Their passion, integrity and commitment to excellence are unmatched. Jeremy King is a trusted professional of character and expert in national and cyber security. I value and seek his advice. Benchmark is my #1 choice to find the right talent to meet the mission.

As governments and businesses “connect” and grow, adversaries and competitors are watching and exploiting our “inter-connectedness.” This growing cyber threat, the associated business risk and “what to do about it” are now becoming regular discussion items at all corporate board meetings. Chief Risk Officer (CRO) reports and recommendations are more critical than ever. Nonetheless, it is clear that most companies, Boards, CROs, CISOs and CSOs are not prepared to address this challenge. We need to identify executives who understand this threat and can translate cyber threats and proposed corporate response into risk mitigation, business continuity and growth. Finding this executive talent for different corporate cultures is rare. In my experience across government and corporate America, there is none better – in leading this executive search process – than Jeremy King and the Benchmark team.

After a career in federal government service, I have benefited enormously from my association with Benchmark. The company has an enviable network of friends in both the private sector and the federal government, particularly the National Security Sector. I have shared my experience with friends and colleagues by introducing them to Benchmark, and I am no longer surprised when years later they inform me of their continued valuable dialog. Benchmark is a unique search firm, led by a highly respected CEO of impeccable integrity and character.

Perhaps the greatest attribute of the Benchmark team is understanding. Having worked with them on both the candidate and client side, it is my experience that Benchmark – more than any other Executive Search resource I have come in contact with – takes the time to understand what the client needs and where the candidate’s passion and skills reside. Working with Benchmark is not a force fit, there are no square pegs in round holes – they understand that this connection is vital to the long-term investment of building a great executive team.

I was very impressed with the diligence process that Benchmark Executive Search undertook in seeking out a key leadership position for ATSC. I truly felt that they listened, verified my requirements, kept me informed, introduced me to some terrific candidates and became a true partner. They focused on trust and delivery, understanding that’s what will lead to a long-term mutually beneficial relationship.

My experience working with Benchmark during the search process for the Fortress VP of Sales position was great. Their partners did an outstanding job balancing the requirements from Fortress while working with me to determine whether this opportunity would be a good professional and cultural fit. Jeremy clearly had a great understanding of what the Fortress Exec team was looking for as well as a thorough understanding of our marketplace.

My interaction with Benchmark was a positive experience from beginning to acceptance of the position. They were knowledgeable about the position and market, upfront, very professional, and kept me well informed throughout the process. Even for those not seeking new career opportunities, a relationship with Benchmark is of great value.

The Benchmark team has impressed me with their down to earth style, integrity and connections in the government contracting business. I met them soon after retiring from the government, and they provided great advice that helped me get acclimated to private sector life and introduced me to prospective consulting clients. Benchmark is a great firm whom I highly recommend.

Working with the team means working with an honest broker and partner that has complete involvement with the search from beginning to end — that is something that you don’t get with larger firms.

I appointed Benchmark to secure a Chief Executive Officer for a high technology business in the U.S. They executed with precision throughout to identify and secure a high-quality candidate. The attention to detail for both the candidate and the client is a significant benefit of working with Benchmark.

The seasoned partners at Benchmark very quickly found the perfect fit. One of the most organized, focused and best results on a CEO search I have seen.

Heather and the Benchmark team reached far and wide to bring us an amazing stable of candidates, thoroughly vetted each one and then helped us select the best all around CEO we could have hoped to find for TerraGo.

The team has impressed us with the quality of candidates they have been able to provide that meet our specifications – and they deliver on their engagements with the kind of speed emerging companies require.

I have personally hired Jeremy four times in the past year and a half for portfolio companies. Each time, we closed on an exec who was better than we needed or expected. They are not afraid to aim high.

Their partners have a history of delivering high impact players for Core Capital portfolio companies and we will count on their expertise in building our management teams of the future.

After 10 years of venture investing, I have found this team to be the highest quality executive recruiting firm I have worked with over the years. They have always successfully placed excellent candidates in my portfolio companies including CEOs, VPs of Sales, VPs of Engineering, etc. I would work with them again and highly recommend them constantly to other venture capitalists and boards.

These partners have the intensity, persistence and knowledge, which is exactly what you need for your executive search. They delivered quality candidates in a timely manner and they kept our search process moving quickly. They knew when to step back and when to add their two cents. I’d definitely use them again.

They exceeded expectations on an important CEO search. They introduced many strong candidates and they helped us close our top choice. Great job and I highly recommend them.

I was impressed with the caliber of candidates they brought to the table and we got the CEO we wanted in less than 60 days. We are looking forward to building our relationship with them.

I have worked with Jeremy King many times over the past five years and have found the firm to be very dependable, knowledgeable and quick-moving. They are able to get the right candidates to the table in a short time rame, and work cooperatively with management and the Board to make sure only the best candidates are taken through the process. I would without a doubt use them again.

The team did an outstanding job in finding qualified CEO candidates in a short period of time as well as helping us close the candidate of our choice. They continued to surface high-quality candidates until the search was completed.

We have used them for a number of important executive searches. The reason we keep coming back is consistent high quality of performance. They work a tight process – position specification, candidate qualification, process management, etc. It would be a lot harder to build successful companies without them as a partner.

Mid-Atlantic has entrusted them with some of our most challenging and sensitive CEO and VP searches. They have not disappointed and I highly recommend them.

I was impressed with their ability to quickly find an A+ CEO candidate right on spec – and they did it at a cost effective price – which is a breath of fresh air in this market. Overall – a great experience!
