To potential client of Best 1 Recruiting Methodology
"My name is Jack Hillon, I am the CEO of ComPeople Source, Inc The ComPuter Staffing Professionals. We are Accenture’s Premier Preferred Provider since 3/02. This past July 2009 we brought Ron Kronen to Jacksonville, FL to conduct his “Best 1 Recruiting Methodology level 1” (a 2 day intensive seminar). This was an in-house seminar for our staff which is comprised of 12 recruiters and 2 business development associates. The class was nothing short of spectacular! Ron is surely a subject matter recruiting expert, but it’s his delivery that sets him above the rest. Not only was this a great curriculum; but the way he manages his audience is awesome. It was not only a fun seminar but the content was of great value to how we now do business. This is potent seminar which has leveraged our abilities to source and close additional revenue. If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Ron, then you understand what I am referring to. He brings a unique set of tools and excitement to the classroom. I highly recommend “Best 1 Recruitment Methodology”, but more so Ron’s ability to bring it to 'life'."

"Dear Ron:
We have known and worked with each other over the last 4 years
and I can not state enough just how valuable you are when it
comes to staffing critical ERP resource needs. You and your
staff bring a level of experience, knowledge and skills that
significantly reduces the recruiting and retaining time and
costs for valuable employees.
Each time I have reached out to you and your staff for critical resource needs, you and your team have never failed to produce at least 2 to 3 very qualified candidates. I have yet to experience a bad hire or non-committed resource that you and your team have provided.
In addition to providing very dedicated and qualified resources, your network of qualified resources and clients is incredible. I plan to utilize you on my next search for that next great position!"

"When I am asked to describe Ron, a couple of words come to mind that I feel describe him very well: tenacious, respectful and damn-good recruiter. He has built an impressive career using those three skills to ensure the service he provides each client is at a level far surpassing expectations. I have worked with Ron and continue to work with Ron knowing that I still have much to learn and working with the best will help make me better. He pushes to build the relationship with both the candidate and the client and everyone knows that he is looking out for each person's best interest.
Ron is very adept at finding the candidate that not only
can do the required work, but is also a cultural fit for the
company. He knows that it is not worth making a placement just
to make a dollar; it is about building
the long term relationships that last throughout a person's
career."

"Ron Krönen brings a unique perspective, a seasoned repertoire, a laser focus on results and the ability to bridge the needs of candidate and employer to a successful conclusion. The work Ron did for me in recruiting upwards of six (6) senior technology specialists over the past two months, was nothing short of miraculous. I have the highest regards for Ron as a person and as a professional and would highly recommend him to anyone requiring his services; especially those with impossible needs with little time for execution. Ron is the master."

"Ron,
I'd like you to have this testimony from me. Feel free to publish
as you wish. I look forward to a continued professional relationship
with you. Let's plan to stay in contact, I'd be glad to assist
you in other SAP opportunities. Thanks again for all of your
professionalism and hard work."

"Ron is one the Top Recruiters in the country, he
is always professional and courteous.
Ron truly has a “heart” for people which I believe
is his key to success. His knowledge of the SAP recruiting industry
makes him a valuable asset. While working with Ron at IBM, Ron
was always able to provide excellent candidates, no skill set
was too difficult for him. The most unique thing about him is
the late night e-mails or the early morning e-mails. Ron is
the epitome of a great recruiter who never sleeps and always
give 110%."

"I've worked with a lot of recruiters during my 13 year tenure as an SAP Basis Consultant - some good, some average, some not so good. I have to admit, I was skeptical at first when I received a call from Ron, indicating an interest in my extensive SAP Basis background. I thought, okay, here we go again - another recruiter trying to convince me that I should be represented only by him, and that he could deliver the exact position I was looking for. I have to admit, I was very pleasantly surprised at what was to follow.
There was something very different about the way Ron and I began establishing dialogue. For one, when he said he would market me in such a way that would bring my skills to the forefront, he meant it. When he said he would "get back to me" or "call me" at a particular time, he did. He wasn't just giving me lip service, he followed through - even at times he was on vacation - to ensure that an open channel of communication was always maintained.
This is the first testimonial I have ever written for a recruiter, and for good reason. None have ever come close to the honesty, commitment and hard work that Ron has shown me. He sets the bar for others in this industry to follow. Most will never come close to the high standards that Ron exhibits in his profession. Why, because most don't get it. Ron gets it. He is not only the man who has placed me on a very successful engagement with Cap Gemini, he has become my friend. Thank you Ron - for not forgetting one of the very most important aspects that you bring to your profession - a very caring, personable and humanistic approach to your clients."

"Ron Krönen worked for me at Lawson Software recruiting for some of the most difficult to fill consulting roles at the company. Ron hit the ground running and never stopped. His determination and creative approaches to finding the “needle in the haystack” candidates proved very successful. Ron collaborated with the managers to find discover barriers to success and never gave up. I would recommend Ron to any organization in need of a dedicated recruitment solution."

"Dear Ron,
I wanted to personally take this opportunity to let you know what a fantastic job you and your staff did on the in-house training sessions that Kron Technology Solutions (Best 1 Recruiting Methodology seminar) delivered recently.
Your ideas, methodology, and continued support have made an immediate impact on our bottom line. The internal response from my recruiting staff has been a ray of sunshine in an area that I thought was a lost cause. I would even go so far as to say that you truly changed the way that our entire office goes through the recruiting process. The end results are a higher quality consultant delivered to our client in a more timely manner.
I would strongly recommend your training sessions to any search firm in our industry or any direct client that has their own recruiting staff. In fact, my firm looks forward to booking you and your staff for the next round of training in the fall.
Thank you again for the wonderful training, ideas, materials and continued support."

"Ron Krönen gets the job done and then some!
From the moment Ron first called me to initiate the interview
process to the point I received the offer and even afterwards,
he has exceeded all expectations. You can tell in Ron's voice
that he is passionate about his work, really knows his stuff,
and is very successful in guiding candidates in search of amazing
opportunities. He works aggressively in making arrangements and
providing quick feedback throughout the job search process making
it more of an experience than a hassle. Well the man works seven
days a week! This is beyond me, but he really gets the job done.
Ron, I can't thank you enough for landing me this fantastic opportunity
with Lawson Software!"

"Ron,
I want to thank you for all the great work you have done and to share my thoughts with you;
When you first called me (“On a Saturday afternoon, hardly ever heard about in the consulting and staffing industry”) , I said to myself the man seems very enthusiastic and passionate about this position, so I went along and started to follow your instructions on what to do, as the days passed I started to realize that you weren’t only enthusiastic and passionate, but that you didn’t care what day of the week or time it was !!, you where locked in on getting the job done, and not only that but that you actually delivered on your promises, “very rarely heard in this day and age!!”.
Your work truly speaks for itself and I only wished that there where more consulting and staffing agencies as yours, delivering best of the breed consultants to world class companies in outstanding record time.
It has been an honor and pleasure to work with such an amazing individual as yourself."

Recruitment Manager
Kanbay Capgemini
Hi Ron,
Just an email to let you know that I really enjoyed working with
you in the recruitment process.
You have always responded quickly to any question, this has and
made the whole process go nice and smooth.
I must have had more then 50 calls from all kind of recruiters,
but very few (if any) as professional as you.
From the moment, you called to see if I was interested in a position
you had with Kanbay Capgemini, until I accepted the offer, you
have made things happen quick and kept me informed about all the
steps in the process, so that I had a good idea of where we were
and what to expect.
I must say the whole experience was pleasant and I would not hesitate
to recommend you to anyone I know.
Kanbay seems all you said it was, and everyone has been very nice
and friendly to me. I am looking forward to my first day and the
beginning of a long and fruitful relationship with them.
Thanks again for all you did."

"To Whom It May Concern,
This note is a letter of recommendation for Ron Krönen of Krön-Technology Solutions.
Mr. Krönen recently recruited me for a SAP Management position within Accenture’s Global Business Solutions group. I did not previously know Ron, nor did I have any referrals as to his business background or character.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Ron to be completely honest and professional in all his dealings. In addition, he was most concerned about providing a value added approach to his customer by ensuring I was an excellent fit for his customer. The result of Ron’s outstanding character and excellent business experience is that he is set apart from other recruiters with whom I have previously dealt.
I would highly recommend Ron to any business acquaintances, friends or customers who are seeking professional placement within the ERP /SAP community."

"Ron,
This note is to formally thank you and commend you on the services you have provided in various situations over the past 10 years. Professional Services recruiting – you should be referred to as an Agent - requires you to understand and communicate about industry verticals and technology platforms equally, and to individuals with various levels of background. Your placement of me over a three year period in two industries (Ann Taylor for Retail Merchandising & Global One Telecom for Financials and Payroll) demonstrates that versatility. Equally, your network and access to technology practitioners is outstanding. Whether I need access to subject matter experts in retail, distribution center management, payroll, or an expert on service oriented architecture, you have always come through for me. I would like to thank you personally for all the hard work you’ve done on my behalf over the years, and tell you that I respect the fact that you have worked to maintain our relationship even though I am not always looking for a new opportunity.
Good luck on your endeavors…
No one I know works harder!!
I look forward to seeing you, Lynette and kids again soon."

"Dr.Wu,
Ron from E-Tech asked me if I'd provide feedback to one of his
potential clients (TransDimension) and I agreed. Ron filled 3
positions for me over the last 3 months. These were sr. asic design
engineer positions (2 full time, 1 consultant). I had 3-4 recruiting
firms + our HR department trying to fill these. Ron consistently
provided candidates that were at least worth phone interviewing
while other agencies would just pass through any resume that had
the word ASIC on it. Ron's tenacity, 24/7 work ethic, filtering
capabilities, and ability to find the right rocks to turn over
went unmatched. I'd definetly use him again for any future positions."
Good luck with your recruiting.
