"We at Reliant Energy have been extremely pleased with the quality of candidates brought forth by TD Madison & Associates. We were also equally impressed with his ability to work effectively throughout all stages of the recruiting process, from position scooping and candidate identification to interviewing and final negotiations. On top of all that, he also offered his insights on the CLEC industry and helped us think through longer-term organizational issues. We would not hesitate to use Dean and his team again for another senior-level search at Reliant and would wholeheartedly recommend him to other firms seeking to build a topflight management team in the telecommunications arena."

"TD Madison and Associates originally approached me as a candidate over three years ago. Their professionalism, along with the knowledge of industries they serve ultimately led me to select them as my exclusive search provider for Radius Net. I have chosen to continue that relationship while currently serving as President of Matrics Technology Systems based on their dedication to quality. Despite their lack of experience in our industry, they demonstrated an ability to quickly learn new technologies, and identify candidates for our most critical executive level positions. Their work has been instrumental in helping us build a management team that will ensure our long-term success. Their ability to accurately understand our needs, and properly assess the candidates they represent is only surpassed by their responsiveness, efficiency and flexibility."
Laura Neuman, President
Matrics Technology SystemsMs. Neuman has been a long time client of TD Madison and Associates. In her previous assignment as Founder and Chairman of Radius Net, a telecommunications service provider, she engaged our services on CEO and CFO search assignments. She currently serves as President of Matrics Technology Systems, a Radio Frequency Identification solutions provider. Most recently we completed a search for a Vice President of Business Development with Matrics, and we are currently engaged in a search to fill the position of Vice President of Manufacturing Operations.
"My experience with Dean and his team covers seven years and includes me hiring them for searches and being placed in a new career position myself. Dean is simply the best I have worked with in the industry. To find the best candidates for a firm, he becomes familiar with the culture and personality of the leadership and finds candidates who are qualified and can fit in. I have hired around ten people Dean and his team have recommended, and they were all winners.
"On the personal side, when I was working with him in a career search, the personal attention made me feel like I was the only candidate with whom he was working."

"I want to thank TD Madison for all of their help these past couple of years. Their assistance has been invaluable in helping us not only grow our company, but also do so with outstanding personnel. I especially want to thank them for their help and persistence in locating, interviewing, and consulting with me numerous times on the hiring of our President/COO. He has been an incredible partner and a great leader for our team. With our merger, he is playing a huge roll in our direction of the combined company.
"I would most certainly recommend you to anyone looking for key personnel in the Telecommunications industry. Thanks for being an integral part of our success."
