"I would highly recommend Thom Sheils. I was first introduced to Thom in 2006, as he contacted me about a position he was trying to fill for APAC Customer Services. Since that time, I have worked with Thom on numerous opportunities both for myself and too also fill positions I had open within my organization. Thom always provides very qualified candidates, which makes the hiring process that much easier. Thom is the utmost professional and is excellent in managing clients, due to his vast experience in the call center industry. I would highly recommend Thom as a go-to person to help you with your hiring needs."

"Thom Sheils & Associates is a world-class executive recruiting/placement organization. I have had the pleasure of working both sides of the matrix with Thom. He does a tremendous job matching candidate skills with the job specifications. As a result he is consistent with placing the right skill-set and experience with the appropriate executive opportunity. It is with this in mind that I give Thom Sheils the highest recommendation possible."

Rob Sutton

“Thom was and still is a strategic partner in helping me and my organization find strong candidates to fill our human capital needs. Thom's extensive network combined with specific knowledge of industry vertical's operational needs enables him to find 'A' players that typical recruiters will not find.”
Tom DeCarlo
UBS - Managing Director, Head of Client Services
“Thom is both a trusted business partner and very close friend. I write this recommendation only because of how close we have become in the last year and a half as Thom is not only responsible for placing me at the executive level with Morgan Stanley, but he is my primary choice for recruiting as his talent and professionalism is matched by no one else in the contact center industry.
I can say that Thom sets himself apart from the competition by treating each open position as the most important position he is working on. His personal attention to every detail is second to none.
On the personal side..... Thom and I speak a few times a week, share family stories, holiday cards, and career advice.....all of this and we have not had the opportunity to meet in person to date as I have been so busy with my new role at MSSB after relocating back to the east coast from California last year.
Thom ensured that my personal and professional best interests were his primary focus when total compensation was discussed in my deal and finally accepted.
I cannot think of a better person to write a recommendation for, as Thom is a true gentleman, family man, and a professional! ”
Do yourself a favor and get to know him!
Doug Charles
Call Center Operations & Management Executive
“I have known Thom for over a decade and cannot say enough about his abilities to find the right talent for my needs. Thom takes an active approach in learning the requirements of the job, but goes beyond that in understanding the total "fit" requirements for the candidate to be successful. This personable approach enables Thom to deliver strong candidates for the jobs I had have to fill.
Secondly, I have also had Thom help place me in the right job and the right time as my career has progressed. Much like he builds a total "fit" requirement for the placement, Thom spends time getting to know you as a candidate to help you identify the right opportunity and to present yourself in a manner that highlights your strengths.
In closing, whether you are needing to hire someone or you are looking for the next right opportunity, Thom is someone I personally trust and would recommend to anyone in need of a recruiting partner.”

His knowledge of the business and extensive network enable to find the best talent and opportunities. I appreciate his consultative approach and creativity. He is an excellent partner that cares about his client's success.”
Mark Anderson
Principal at Conger & Elsea
“Thom is one of those "utility infielders" that can execute at so many positions- learns quickly and most important gets results. I do mean results! Not many leaders could do that. Since working with him at MCI, I have used Thom's recruiting savvy on several occasions to find the very best winners that has Thom's attributes. Thom can!! His eye for great people is amazing and will continue to be called upon numerous times when any of the organizations I am associated with needs "talent." When you run into someone with Thom's recruiting abilities, you quickly add them to your team, and let him loose on your issues and needs. I am confident you will NOT be disappointed. I remain a fan of his abilities.”
