"Larry, thanks for your help and high professionalism.  Every tip that you and Adriana provided was spot on and highly effective.  It's an honor to have been under you representation and I greatly appreciate it."

- CP, Manager, Prepaid Debit Program

"I am grateful for the high level of support I have had since meeting you. You've helped to make an unusual period in my life one that I will always remember as a growing and satisfying experience. I am happy that you're so heavily involved in related industries; mostly because it ensures that our paths will continue to cross and that our relationship will continue to grow. You have done an admirable job; be very proud of yourself. All my best.” 

- S.H., Sales Manager, Merchant Lending Company

"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."

- PW, Recruiter, Prepaid Solutions Provider  

"...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

“I just wanted to express how instrumental and professional you were during this process. Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you soon!”

- TM, Product Manager, Top Prepaid Processor

"I wanted to thank you and Sharene (Strawser) for all your assistance throughout this process.  You have been nothing but helpful and wonderful to work with these past months.  I would most certainly recommend anyone in the industry to TopGrading Solutions from my experience and have nothing but good things to say about all you both did to help my family. Larry, your personal touch in the process was much appreciated and I learned a great deal these last months." 

- JM, Director Risk Management, Major Card Processor

"Larry Lebofsky was very professional and thorough in this process.  He has been on top of me for the last year before we consummated a deal - he dealt with this very well considering that I was often unavailable and did not return calls - hats off to him - he is great for your firmI also found that presenting a quality person rather than filling a position is a better approach when he told me about P.S. I quickly moved to create a spot."

- AA President, Mobile Prepaid Technology leader

"The most impressive experience I've ever had working with anyone for any reason.  Follow up, coaching, understanding of the industry - all top notch.  I felt as if I was a pro athlete with a power agent in my corner."

Every time I mention that I may need someone for a specific work group, you get back to me right away with several great resumes."

"You're quick, professional, and you know our industry. I've received several calls in the past few months from your competitors. I needed to tell them that I was very pleased with you, and that I was not interested at this time."

- MW, Director, Risk Management, Merchant Services

"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."

- P.W., Sales Director, Major Mobile Point of Sale

“I want you to know I am extremely pleased with the efforts of both Larry (Lebofsky) and Dave (Camp) in finding me a qualified (Project Manager) candidate so quickly.

Thank you and your team for the great results”.

- TR, SVP Product and Technical Support, Major POS payments Company

"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."

- CW, President, Payment Services for Multi-$Billion Restaurant Chain

"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"  

- SK, Senior Manager, Payments Consulting Practice
