Recommendations

Doug Merrill GM, Leica Systems, (formerly Continental Sales Manager and GM, Trimble Navigation)
GM, Leica Systems, (formerly Continental Sales Manager and GM, Trimble Navigation) We have hired Lisa for several recruitment's now. She has proactively asked all the right questions to make certain the requirements are understood up front (and even helped to define them at times), and has then proceeded to deliver qualified and vetted candidates while paying attention to every detail along the way. She follows up exceptionally well, taking a great deal of burden off of the hiring managers. Highly recommended!
Griffin Schultz CEO at Rapid Flow Technologies (former GM, Predictive Solutions)
My first call for my next hire will be to Lisa McDonald. She quickly helped us fill a position that was taking us WAY TOO long on our own. Not only did Lisa provide great value in helping us fill our open position, but she was great to work with and fit within our “humble, hungry, smart” culture immediately. I appreciated her candor and professionalism in sharing feedback to keep us on course and moving to our goal. She is an “A” player that you should get on your team!
Michael Shomberg Global Account Director, O&G at SAP (formerly VP & GM - Engineering, Construction, & Real Estate Business Unit at SAP)
If you have an open position, Lisa is the ONLY person to call. Her network, ability to match a candidate to the company’s needs, and her tenacity is EXCEPTIONAL. This translates into high quality candidates, that are great matches to your company, and they make immediate impact. I have worked with Lisa on numerous engagements, across multiple companies and her passion/skills are unparalleled. Highly recommended!
Vic Sanchez Vice President, Operations (Americas) at Invicara (formerly VP of Sales, Newforma)
In my many years of working with recruiters to help me build winning teams, few stand out as does Lisa. She's recruited for me some of the best people I've ever worked with by taking the time to build relationships to know both the people and stories behind them AND investing time to learn the business and market. She's a tireless, relentless, and tenacious professional that goes more than the extra mile to do the right things for both clients and candidates. She was and will continue to be my secret weapon for building great teams.
Scott Main, Sr. Director, Manufacturing - NAMER & EMEA at Autodesk Former Global Sales Director, Architectural, Engineering & Construction Cloud Solutions
We were having challenges finding a qualified candidate in a particular part of the country. We spent 6 months trying to locate this candidate and were losing money as we had no coverage in the territory. Having never used a recruiter before due to cost, it took awhile before we engaged Lisa McDonald. Almost immediately, Lisa provided us with two qualified candidates. We interviewed both and made an offer to one of them; frankly, if I had two positions I would have made offers to both. Lisa was a pleasure to work with and really understood what we were looking for in a candidate. My only regret is that I didn’t engage Lisa sooner so that we would have had a productive sales rep in the territory much sooner.
Mike Sabol, Director, Enterprise Sales at E-Builder Former VP Sales at Sightlines and VP Sales, Newforma
As a sales leader for growing companies, I was often asked to hire fast - and hire right. An open territory means bookings projections will be even more difficult to deliver. Hiring the wrong rep could be even worse. Lisa was my partner to help me move quickly while also lowering risk as to who I chose to hire. She's a strategic asset to me because of her ability to quickly understand key business objectives and an ideal target profile. Her instincts and communication style make her a critical component to any sales enablement program. Get her time before I do : )
Wendy Kotkosky Senior Managing Director, Venminder
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of having worked with Lisa as both a prospective employer as well as a professional seeking a new career opportunity. I can say, without hesitation, that she has exceeded my expectations in all the situations. She doesn’t view the hiring process as being a sporting event (“winning at all costs”); instead, she knows that looking for a good match should be the goal. Thinking out of the box and looking beyond the resume are some of her biggest strengths. She will open you up to new opportunities or candidates that you may never have considered. I highly recommend you call Lisa if you have ever wished you could work with a full service, knowledgeable, hard working, and experienced recruiting professional that has integrity and your best interest in mind.
