"Professionalism, courtesy, and extensive knowledge of the supply chain field and the recruiting process. These are the words that come to mind when I think of my experience with Jesse Pinkoski and the TopGrading Solutions Team. Jesse's understanding of my professional background and career aspirations allowed him to match me to the right opportunity. 30 days later and with the help and guidance of Jesse and his Team I was starting a new job with tremendous potential. In short, I am very satisfied with the whole process and I would definitely recommend Jesse and TopGrading Solutions to my friends and colleagues. Thank you Jesse!"
- Demand Planner, Consumer Products Organization
"Honestly, the level of professionalism shown to us by Larry Lebofsky is very refreshing. His knowledge of our business and the quality of his submittals has made the selection of his candidates this fall a "no-brainer." Easily when [we] decide on our 2008 vendor list TopGrading Solutions will be on it, due to the candidates and work provided by Larry. Best regards."
- P.W., Recruiter, Prepaid Solutions Provider

“It has been a pleasure working with Jason Breault. He was extremely professional, thorough, and very personable. He was always available to answer my questions or find the answer. In my working years, I have never experienced such excellent service from a recruiter. I can honestly say that Jason's guidance was instrumental in helping me secure my new position. Thank you Jason!”
- Demand Planner, Int'l Consumer Goods Organization
"...the service we received from your firm has been exceptional. Specifically, the service provided by Larry Lebofsky has been beyond my expectations. His professionalism, thorough communication and “value add” (e.g., info/advice on successful on-boarding of new staff) made the search and hire process efficient and were a clear demonstration why it is cost-effective (and less stressful!) to employ the services of a high-quality recruiting firm such as TopGrading Solutions. I certainly plan to employ your firm’s (and Larry’s) services for future search needs and feel confident in referring colleagues to your firm as well."
- S.M., Chief Product Officer, International Payments Security Firm
"The position of VP Prepaid was a critical role for us and Larry L. did a great job....Larry cold called me days before the Prepaid Expo in Vegas and suggested that we meet. His timing was perfect and although I had used several recruiters [locally], Larry impressed me with his knowledge and contacts in the prepaid space. He did a fantastic job sourcing candidates that were perfect fits for the job. He also prepped both myself and the candidates before the interview in a way I'd never seen before. He truly set expectations properly on both sides. His follow up was also commendable. I will continue to use Larry for my recruiting needs and am very thankful that i took that call!"
- J.S., President, Prepaid Technology Firm
“We had two critical supply chain planning roles to fill in a very short time. Jason Breault of TopGrading Solutions made it happen quickly and with top talent. It started with Jason taking the time to understand our business needs and our culture. Jason brought us multiple top candidates for both positions. If it weren’t for Jason, we would still be looking.”
- Director of Demand Planning, Beverage Manufacturer
"I would like to thank Jason Breault of TopGrading Solutions for his professionalism and guidance through my career move to a supply chain position with a well respected Consumer Goods company. I found Jason to be very up-front in laying out the expectations and requirements of the role. He took all the necessary time to ensure that the opportunity would result in a win for me, as well as, a win for the company. He demonstrated integrity through the entire process which was very reassuring considering that changing companies can lead to some apprehension at times."
- Master Scheduler, Tier-1 Food & Beverage Manufacturer
"TopGrading Solutions has not only come through for me once, but twice! Working with Jason Breault has been a rewarding experience for me. The information, follow up and follow through that Jason provides is exceptional. Not only was I presented with awesome opportunities but I was prepared and armed for each of my interview encounters which made all the difference. Today, I'm moving on to an opportunity that is everything I wanted. I'm excited about work again and attribute a big part of that to Jason and his ability to perfectly match me with the right opportunity. Jason, I will always be grateful to you for your expertise, professionalism and for being the catalyst to my new job. You can count on me to highly recommend you to others!"
- Collaborative Demand Planner, $2.5B Consumer Health Care Company
"I have to say working with you was truly a pleasure. You kept me continually informed on status of opportunities and found me an excellent one in a very timely fashion. You were always there with tons of information and always answered my questions quickly. Even the ones I didn’t think to ask in the first place. Moving can be a trying process as well as looking for new opportunities in the job market. I was thrilled by the efficient way you operate, the quick response time, excellent level of availability and friendly/outgoing personality. Whenever I made the slighted inquiry you were there with a near automatic response. In essence you were and are a total gem to work with and I would have said the same even if we were unable to locate a position for me so quickly. I love my new job and couldn’t have had a better experience, especially with a position in another country. Your follow-up on the relocation services as well as your continued contact to ensure everything is working out have left me with little or no worries about the transition. Thank you again for everything you have done. Should I have friends or colleagues who are interested in changing their career focus or direction, TopGrading Solutions will be my first recommendation and point of reference. Again… was the most positive experience I have ever had in the corporate world. Thank You!"
- C.W.A., Manager, International Risk
"I have to say that I have worked with many recruiters and HR professionals in the past, and Larry Lebofsky is by far at the top of my list for being able to deliver on all fronts. He is very thorough, helps mold the position requirements, is able to source excellent candidates, help coach us through the interview process, and never pushes a candidate for the sake of closing a deal. He is also incredibly comprehensive with his background checks and with “behind the scenes” information we need to help make the right choices. It looks like we are about to close on another hire through Larry this week and are again very pleased (which is rare for me in this category).Do whatever you can to keep Larry happy – he is an invaluable asset to your firm. Regards,"

"TopGrading Solutions has been very effective in presenting a number of qualified senior sales management candidates from our industry within very tight timelines. Throughout our search, we were provided with a high level of client contact, candidate contact and management of the process. Larry Breault at TopGrading Solutions has delivered an exceptional level of client service and partnership and delivered a number of hires we believe will be key to the on-going success of our company!" "Thanks, Larry, for all your hard work on this search."
- D.B., V.P. Human Resources Worldwide Leader of Store Systems Software
"What a team! Larry, this brief note is just to say 'thanks' and to tell you and your team 'you do great work.' Once more you struck gold in helping us to fill our CTO position. Every search assignment I have given you has been completed to a successful end. You work to get right inside my operation to understand what we really need, and that kind of commitment and dedication is rare. I've worked with other professional search firms but no more. TopGrading Solutions is my Business Partner and #1 Search Team."
- L.M., President, Major Fraud Detection Software Company
"Thanks to Larry Breault who placed me at Microsoft 6 years ago. I am now retiring at the age of 35 to run my own private non-profit foundation, I am extremely grateful. If it wasn’t for Larry I would not have changed positions, he was the guy who had the wisdom to encourage me to go to Microsoft."
- Ms. Lily Kanter, Retired, Microsoft
"We have utilized TopGrading Solutions during a period of substantial company growth. TopGrading Solutions has located and assisted in the hire of many of our senior Marketing and Sales positions. TopGrading Solutions has an extensive network of professionals to draw top-level talent. LJ and his team have done a fine job of first understanding our needs and then quickly arranging interviews with appropriate candidates. Their actions and methods have proven to me that they are first interested in long term relationships rather than a 'quick hire'."
- P.W., President Global Cash Management Company
"I just wanted to drop you this note and let you know how satisfied we have been with the recent candidate you recruited for us for our remote sales territory. It is very clear that you understand our business requirements, in particular our consultative sales approach to a complex solutions sale. The candidate you provided us has been outstanding in working with our customer base and we are looking forward to the success he will bring us: Thanks again for doing a great job! I just would like to take a brief moment to thank the both of you so much for all that you have done for me in the past few weeks. I have never had the privilege to work with an organization such as yours throughout my career in the POS industry, and must say that as for my 1st experience you both are top notch!! You made yourselves available for ANY questions that I may have had throughout the entire process from beginning all the way through my signing on with a new company and resigning from my now past employer. You even made yourselves available on the weekends!! I am very happy with where you both have placed me and truly cannot wait to get started in my new position. Thank you both so much for all of your help!!
Respectfully."
- J.S., Major POS Vendor
"With respect to the hiring of (candidate) and my work with Larry, I am extremely happy with the services that you provided as well as the quality of the candidate that we have found in (candidate).Larry was extremely methodical and diligent in helping me find the right candidate. He did so well in fact by presenting two great candidates that it actually was very difficult to make the choice. However, Larry's assistance and guidance throughout the whole process, particularly for someone like myself who is new to hiring candidates here in the US, was exactly what I required. With regard to (candidate), we just attended our largest tradeshow of the year and she was excellent. Her enthusiasm and drive were infectious on the rest of the team. What's also impressive is that we are also getting very close to her first closed sale, which if we were able to complete that in the next 2 weeks, I will be extremely happy. Thank you for checking back with us post-hire - another distinct difference between such professionals like TopGrading compared to other firms that we have used previously. The team very much looks forward to working with Larry and the TopGrading team again in the near future.
Respectfully."

"Working with Larry Lebofsky has been a "home run" for us how ever you slice it....just a pleasure all the way around. Not only did he find X for us (who has been great so far), but he has a good knack for how to communicate with clients...knows when to be persistent and knows when to back off.
I can't say enough good things about Larry...he has been a great add to our recruiting process and I am sure we will look for ways to continue to work with him in the future.
Feel free to call anytime if need more color commentary"
