Employer Testimonials

Kim Sasseen

“I have worked with Bruce Marx and Insurance Staffing Consultants for approximately five years. In that time, Bruce has made several successful placements with our company. Bruce does a comprehensive job of aggressively recruiting excellent talent. I like the fact that he does not waste my time with candidates that are not qualified for the position. He and I have a strong working relationship and are both very honest with one another which helps save time. He initially took the time to learn about our company and now finds the type of people that work well in our culture. I am also impressed because Bruce has such a thorough understanding of the property and casualty industry. I would highly recommend his services to any employer seeking recruiting services.”

Sandy Kuhlman

“I’ve worked successfully with ISC over the last couple of years due to Bruce’s in depth knowledge of the carriers in the marketplace and the people in the industry. Bruce does a great job of screening candidates. He has a good understanding of the knowledge and skills required for technical positions. His experience extends to understanding the various ‘cultures’ within the industry and being able to appropriately match up companies and candidates. Bruce does not waste my time, but rather he facilitates the recruitment process. I have recommended him to both companies and candidates who are in need of recruitment assistance.”

Ginny Scruggs

“My employer has been working with Bruce Marx for over 10 years. Over the years I have developed an excellent working relationship with Bruce. The difference between Bruce and other recruiters is evident by the quality of the applicants that come through the door. I have experience with other companies and have not had the level of service that I receive from Bruce. Not only does Bruce find the best applicants for the job by thoroughly screening them prior to the appointment, they have sufficient information about our company to make the interview time productive for both parties. Bruce was instrumental in the setup of our Pleasanton office. We have retained 80% of the employees that he originally referred and have had many great hires since. As we expand our business we continue to use Bruce because of his commitment to quality and his excellent customer service.”

Sue Carline

“I have worked with Bruce Marx to meet my recruiting and placement needs since 1995. My long-term relationship with ISC is due to a common set of values – truth, trust, teamwork — culminating in many successful placements. Bruce is a professional who possesses integrity, respects client/candidate confidentiality, and is flexible and resourceful in working with his clients.”

Kevin T. Duck

“I had the opportunity to work with Bruce while working in California at Hartford Insurance. Quickly Bruce separated himself from the other recruiters looking to do business with the Hartford. Bruce soon became Hartford’s exclusive recruiter. I found Bruce to be a person of high integrity and dedicated to those he served, making sure the placement was right, a win for both the employee and the employer.”

Cate Leppert

“I have worked with Bruce on many occasions over the years. Bruce is an expert at managing all of the intricacies of recruiting, every single last one of them. He knows his clients, his people, and knows the market well. In fact, after first working with Bruce as a vendor, I decided to make him my mentor and went to work for him, too! When I need to go to market Bruce is my first, and often my only call.”

Malaika Kattke

“When I was the Senior HR Generalist at SRS, I successfully used Bruce to fill various difficult to fill positions. Bruce was very good about presenting only qualified candidates and did not waste my time presenting numerous resumes that were not appropriate for the position. Some of his strongest attributes were he listened to my needs, took the time to understand our organizational culture, and was very honest….a rarity to sometimes find in this business. Bruce was a diligent, hard working, resourceful, personal, yet business-focused recruiter. He was very successful in finding hidden talent, knew his candidates well, always followed up on our search projects, and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to any employer seeking the services of a results driven external recruiting search consultant.”

Brian Esparza

“Bruce is an effective and detail oriented executive recruiter who listens to his clients’ needs and then executes accordingly. He is very assertive and has the ability to search and seek out hidden talent for a variety of difficult to fill positions. Bruce is a hard worker, is very customer focused and takes the time to understand his clients and their individual culture. He is one of the few third party executive recruiters who, from a client’s prospective, really earns his fee. I would highly recommend Bruce to any employer seeking the services of a high caliber third party external recruiter.”
