Testimonials
“You will never go wrong by working with Mary. A professional in every aspect of the process with a great personality to match, Mary delivers results. I recommend that you spend some time speaking with her, and you’ll see what I mean.”
“I’ve experienced working with MVP as a candidate, hiring manager, and a coaching client. They understand my needs and are very thorough. I trust their work and always get to the outcome desired. Their advice has always been spot on.”
“In leading our process of hiring an Executive Director, MVP was critical in helping solidify and stabilize our organization. As we looked at our future strategy, MVP helped us take to clearly think through the key requirements of the position, and then laser focus to find candidates that specifically fit those requirements and then guide us through the process of interviewing and negotiating with the narrowed group of great candidates. Almost a year later, we couldn’t be happier with the candidate we hired.”
“MVP delivered on their promise and did exactly what we asked – sourced a large and diverse slate of highly qualified candidates. Their ability to manage the candidates through a lengthy and challenging interview process was so important. It was really interesting for me to work with them from both sides of the experience, as they also placed me at the College of American Pathologists. I understood and saw first hand. how they cared for both their client and their applicants. We will most certainly call on them again when we need to recruit executive talent. ”
“The experience I’ve had with MVP Executive Search and Development has been extremely valuable to my personal journey. As I was contemplating major career decisions, the process rolled out to me while working with Mary Olson-Menzel and the MVP team was comprehensive. My background was fully explored and brought to life in a powerful way that allowed me to see my options more clearly and with greater confidence. I thought through all the scenarios in a systematic manner with an open mind and was able to focus on what I truly wanted to achieve. Their series of exercises clarified my thoughts and left me energized and inspired about my career.”
“I absolutely recommend MVP for those needing extra support in finding a new position. Being new to Chicago, my network was limited so I wanted that extra support to proactively find opportunities. However, I received so much more than expected! MVP’s process provides support in looking deeper into my skills and experiences; preparing for interviews and providing contacts at various companies to network with. My coach, Kay McCabe was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was excellent with follow up and also making sure I was very prepared for interviews. Furthermore, Kay is a wonderful person and I’m happy to have gotten to know her!”
“Mary helped me see the best aspects of my experiences and together, we crafted my personal brand accordingly in a holistic way. In addition, Mary also provided me with networking and job search strategy plus the gentle push for me to be accountable to my career goals. Net net, I would recommend MVP for anyone who wants to make a career and life pivot journey successfully!”
“Mary is one of the brightest people I know. Her skills at quickly and efficiently connecting the right people to the right company is almost unmatched in my opinion. In addition to uniting people and position, Mary has been a great sounding board to me for a host of human resource issues.”
“I had the honor of working with the MVP team for a recent placement they had for a senior healthcare executive. Their work was outstanding. I found them professional and highly knowledgeable about the role, the company and the industry. Both Kathleen and Mary had great insight into the culture and needs of the company and were also able to quickly align around my career goals and identify the right fit for the both of us. They were diligent in their follow-up and made sure I was aware of very step in the process. I have worked with a number of the larger executive recruiters on both recruiting for open position or being recruited and the personal commitment and trust built by the MVP was impressive and stands out.”
“When you work with MVP, you will see that the entire team takes the time to get to know you – they take into consideration a client’s experience and talents, and also factor in the psychological and emotional aspects — the aspirations and anxieties — that drive them as they reach for more in their careers as executives. They provide a wonderful holistic approach to career transition that goes beyond the traditional executive search and coaching firm.”

She also does all this quickly and efficiently, and then follows through after the hire, ensuring that the new employees’ integration goes as smoothly as possible.”
