Hiring Managers
"I have used The Rockland Group for years, and Dan Murray is one of a select few recruiters I recommend when it comes to building a world class team. Dan is extremely responsive and has shown a consistent ability to recruit "A" players for sales, technical, and marketing positions. The candidates recruited by The Rockland Group have been a key ingredient for closing strategic sales opportunities with Tier 1 mobile operators globally. I plan to continue to work with Dan for years to come."

"The Rockland Group has shown a consistent ability to hunt, qualify and deliver senior level sales and sales engineering talent across several regions of the US. Dan has a unique gift for understanding the complete candidate profile, and relentlessly hunts for highly qualified candidates. I have yet to meet another search firm that continually produces A-players. "

"Working with The Rockland Group for the first time this year has been a very positive experience. As a hiring manager for the past 15 years, it was refreshing to get a steady flow of consistently qualified top candidates to interview and hire. Dan does an exceptional job of listening to requirements, finding qualified candidates that meet those requirements, and routing them through the interview and hiring process. I highly recommend working with Dan Murray to meet your hiring needs."

"The Rockland Group's professional, honest and direct approach is very refreshing and ultimately delivers outstanding candidates. With their database of strong candidates and ability to effectively network within the industry, we can always count on them to introduce us to top performers."
Al Monserrat
CEO
RES Software
"I have known Dan the past 15 years as a colleague and in his current role as an executive recruiter. Dan’s passion and responsiveness are what most people notice first. However, it quickly becomes evident that Dan’s character and ethics are his strongest qualities. In my most recent search, the candidate unfortunately didn't succeed as planned. Without me asking, Dan offered to find a replacement candidate at no cost 7 months later. Without hesitation, Dan not only stood by his word--but replaced an under-performing sales executive with a VP of Operations. It is without hesitation that I recommend Dan Murray and The Rockland Group. "

"I've worked with Dan for years and have found him to be professional, enthusiastic, and dedicated. Dan continues to provide "A" players for any and all opportunities I've presented him. Dan also stands behind his work and is willing to put guarantees in place that others in the business will not. It's always a pleasure to speak with him because I know he is nothing but honest. I appreciate the uniqueness he brings to the table."

"I've engaged The Rockland Group for numerous projects over the years and consider them a highly trusted advisor for talent acquisition. The difference between Rockland and other search firms is simple yet compelling. Dan Murray understands his clients, takes time to listen to their needs, and always works hard to find the right candidates. When working with Rockland, you feel like you've inherited a team you can trust, someone who always looks out for your best interests, and cares about the results of the search, long after the search is complete. Dan Murray and The Rockland Group get my highest personal recommendation."
Brian Espy
SVP of WW Sales

"I have worked with several search executives in recent years and Dan is the only one who I really felt was on my side working with me to help me get the right person, not just the first available candidate. Dan always makes me feel I am his number one client, is always available, and stayed with a search that took many twists and turns before we got the right person."

Equally important, I don't feel the need to screen his candidates like I do with other search firms.

"Dan is by far the best recruiter with whom I have worked. Dan started his career as a highly successful sales executive, which not only lends credibility to me as a candidate--but translates well with his current business. Dan forces the company and the candidate to really examine the skill set needed to do a job. He makes sure the fit is right from both sides or he won't allow the conversations to continue. In my experience, discussing a potential opportunity with Dan is more challenging and forces more introspection than the interview process itself."
Tim Winter
Federal Sales
Arista Networks
"I was very impressed working with The Rockland Group. Very few recruiters understand the market like Dan, and even fewer are willing to go the extra mile to help you succeed. Dan’s professionalism and attention to detail are superior--and he does business the right way. Whether you are building a sales team or looking for a position yourself, I highly recommend The Rockland Group."
Chris Jungles
Director of Sales

"I have known Dan Murray for 10 years, and he has always kept me informed and provided great guidance. When matching me with opportunities--its clear Dan takes my skills, experience, and career objectives into consideration. Hence, our conversations are always on point. The Rockland Group is refreshing to deal with not only because they are extremely knowledgeable, but have very high standards...each of which are essential in trusting the next step in my career. I value my relationship with The Rockland Group."
