What People Say
Greg Ready has been my mentor for several years. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has amazing insight. He has the ability to bring out the intangible qualities that enable you to put your best self forward. He is an incredible motivator and truly has the people at the heart of everything he does. His logic and methods of questioning are incredibly thought provoking. He provides undivided attention and truly listens. His customized approach shows that all people and situations are unique. If Greg was not my mentor, I can confidently say that I would not be where I am today. I recommend him to everyone I know and I have even applied his principles to my own mentees.
Megan Weinland – Network Order Fulfillment Manager
My experience with Greg met every expectation. He knew exactly what questions to ask and how to facilitate our conversations to determine our hiring needs. It was important to us, as a family business, that the person we hired, not only possessed the knowledge required for the position, but also, had the personality and integrity to fit in well with our existing employees. The candidate we hired exceeded our expectations and is instrumental in our business growth.
President, Multi-Generational Family Business
We have worked with GAR Associates on two separate occasions. Greg puts in the time and effort necessary to fully understand exactly what we are looking for when we have open positions. He keeps us up to date on how searches are progressing and when we can expect to have results. And the candidates he sends to us are top-notch. The extra time and effort he puts into our company’s best interests go beyond what we have experienced with other recruiters.
Family Owned, National CPG Company
Greg’s experience and knowledge are invaluable. He has a good grasp of the different channels, customers, and trends in the industry and he understands much of what has made our business successful. His ability and willingness to learn not just about an open position, but about our organization, culture, strategic plans, etc., have been key factors in his success in recruiting people who match up well with our needs.
Nationally Branded and Private Label CPG Manufacturer
I am a friend and colleague of Greg Ready. Greg and I met over a phone call approximately 25 years ago. He was one of the first members of the Nabisco sales team that reached out to me during my transition to the new location. He was gracious and offered whatever support my family and I needed. Since that day, we have become great friends and I can always count on Greg. We worked at Nabisco, now (Mondelez International) for many years and in several sales and management roles. Greg has a great passion for detail, perfection, and he consistently provides colleagues and employees with positive reinforcement, good judgment and encourages them to always do the right thing. His values, attention to detail and support of others will prove to be successful in his venture as a recruiter.
Bob DeFeo – General Manager,Burdette Beckmann, Inc.
My experience working with Greg was a pleasure every step of the way. He spent a great deal of time with me, explaining the position I was recruited for, as well as the expectations of the employer. Greg made sure that the position was a good fit for both sides in terms of knowledge and personality/culture. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone seeking employment or new hires for their business.
Mary Thomas – Account Manager
I recommended Greg to a friend of mine who had been looking for employees for his business. Greg was extremely professional and helped them find the ideal employee in a reasonable amount of time. Much more effective than an online search.
Dave Bass – Regional Executive
Greg Ready has been an amazing mentor to me for many years. His skill, experience and guidance is invaluable. He not only helped me with resume writing and interview coaching, but also gave me the confidence and support I needed to take my career to the next level. He truly invests his time and interest in everything he does. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to be a cut above the rest.
