Bio
Donna Woody, MBA, PMP, SA, SSM
All of the recommendations Steve has received here are spot on … and more. I am forever grateful to him in assisting me to secure my current position with Kyocera. Although I had numerous recruiters contact me about other opportunities, the COVID-19 landscape postponed those follow-ups. They’d ask general questions and their calls lasted about 15 minutes. Then I didn’t hear from them again. So when Mr. Spencer first contacted me I was leery I’d hear back from him. We spent over an hour discussing the position, the company culture, and my career. Due to his wealth of industry knowledge and experiences he knew exactly what questions to focus on to ascertain I would be the perfect fit for his client. True to his word he submitted my profile to the hiring manager that day. Remarkably my first interview was scheduled within a week. During the interview process an unexpected issue occurred with a presumed trusted referral. I was stunned and feared this diversion would certainly ruin my candidacy. I marveled at Steve’s expertise in spending considerable time with me to examine the possible root cause of that review. I was especially touched by his deft management of this sensitive nature and his ability to encourage the hiring manager to overcome this

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steve and he sets the high bar for executive recruiting professionals. Steve is not your typical recruiter and I have engaged with many of the high profile and boutique agencies who do not even come close to the qualities of Steve. Steve is a trusted advisor for both candidate and company who represents his clients well. He knows the companies he is sourcing for, their culture and business needs. From a candidate perspective, Steve takes his time to be extremely thorough in getting to know You as a person – not just the technical aspects but the human aspect as well. You know just by talking with Steve that he has both the company and candidates’ best interests in mind to find the right fit – technically and culturally. Steve makes time for You, always available and promptly replies to inquiries, even by telephone. I cannot say enough great things about working with Steve and highly recommend him!

It has been a pleasure both professionally as well personally to have worked with Steve Spencer in my most recent career placement. Steve’s acumen regarding the corporation he was recruiting for was spot on. In my case, I had actually worked for them once in my past. His grasp of the position and the expectation surrounding the mission itself was, in my opinion, better than most could appreciate. His insight into the needs of the organization gave me a better understanding and excitement leading up to the competition for the position. I found Steve to be as willing a tutor and sounding board as needed. His attention to detail was strong, and his ability to negotiate on my behalf at a crucial moment was frankly much stronger and successful than I would have expected. The Morisey-Dart team had represented and placed me about 20 years ago where I had a very similar experience with Dave Dart. Their team is excellent as is evidenced by my recent experience with Steve Spencer, and I would whole-heartedly recommend them on either side of the leadership discussion.

Sold turnkey Unix hardware and dealership management software to new vehicle dealers in the upstate NY area. This market had been undercovered by ADP and was largely sewn up by the competition. After struggling for a year trying to get Auto Dealers to talk about their computer systems, I realized they would much rather talk about money. I changed my whole approach to a department by department financial benefit analysis and immediately began to make sales. Grew ADP's marketshare double digits in my remaining tenure. Show less
