to RIM."

"Many recruiters say they'll find you the right people, but Martyn Bassett Associates delivers on that promise.  As the previous Managing Director at Orc Software, they placed key sales execs in Toronto and New York for me, when other recruiters came up short.  Now, as CEO of Alphacet, Martyn Bassett Associates is the firm I'm retaining and the team I know I can trust with my future hiring challenges."
Peter Sibirzeff, CEO, Alphacet

First, they really listen to what is needed in the role and second, they spend time making sure the candidates they put forward are the best fit. Their insight and approach, both pre and post-placement, are second to none. They really know how to find the very best candidates."

"Where other recruiting firms have come up empty, Martyn Bassett Associates has consistently delivered solid, high-performing candidates. They really take the time to get to know your organization’s culture, plans and processes. And they find the perfect candidate, fast!"
Sam Martino, former VP Sales Crystal Decisions/Business Objects

Martyn Bassett Associates was recommended to me by a colleague. It was certainly the first time I’ve worked with an agency that was 3,000 miles and several time zones away! We had talked to local recruitment agencies, but we required a firm with the type of key industry expertise that MBA offered. We knew the search would be challenging, as there is a very small pool of talent that exists in our space, which would fit our specialized requirements. In the end, MBA delivered a solid short-list of candidates for us and we hired a VP Sales with a great combination of sales ability and technical insight. I would certainly recommend Martyn and his team and would utilize their services again.
Ralph Mayer, CEO, Multistat

"I have had the pleasure of working with Martyn Bassett Associates Inc. as both a prospective candidate and from a hiring position as VP Sales. Martyn and Toni are extremely good and MBAI is definitely the most ethical search firm I have ever worked with. As a candidate, they were in my corner all the way and their briefings of the opportunities were first class. As VP Sales I contracted MBAI to fill 2 different VP roles and various sales positions. The candidates they sent me were always high calibre and exactly what I was looking for. I will continue to partner with Martyn Bassett Associates in future, their knowledge and understanding of the market is second to none."
Jason Currill, President & CEO, ICT Inc.
