To this moment, I am still very appreciative and very grateful about the day that Franco reached out to me with a fantastic opportunity. Franco is very up to speed in helping with negotiations while working towards the candidate’s ideal career placement. He is a great and careful listener and works very hard for both parties. His passion & dedication to his profession stands out as he works uninterrupted through the weekends to assure you that you are his top priority.

Franco is an outstanding recruiter and career coach. On a personal level, I have always found him to be courteous, friendly and approachable. On a professional level, he has always had my best interests at heart, more concerned that I make the right career move than that he make his commission. Unlike other recruiters, Franco doesn’t just disappear after a successful placement, but works to maintain and strengthen relationships with his candidates, even when they aren’t active in the job market, and even when it’s not the right time for them to make a career move. He truly understands that a recruiter’s role is not simply to collect resumes and fill a job posting at all costs; Franco helps his candidates to make the right move, at the right time, for the right reasons, to the right position. I am delighted to recommend Franco.

I have known Franco Rinaldin since 2005 when I was introduced to Fromm Search Group (previously Fromm & Associates). Since that time I have had the pleasure of working with him on several occasions. I have been impressed with his genuineness and his professionalism. I believe he strives to understand who you are and what you are looking for as a candidate and puts the pieces together to get the right match for both the candidate and for the employer. Among Franco's other top qualities are his high integrity, his recruitment and industry expertise, and he is highly personable. Even though Franco placed me in January 2005 in my current company, Franco maintains regular contact & I value the updates that he provides on the job market. I continue to seek out his expertise & I would recommend Franco's services to anyone.

I had the pleasure of working with Janice Webber at Fromm where she was an exceptional mentor to me. Janice's experience means that she knows the ropes of the industry inside-out. She has intuitive foresight when it comes to placements. As a recruiter, we worked together on several occasions to find the right match for her clients. It is not always easy working with those who know a lot more than you do but Janice was approachable, taking me under her wing and helping me to grow so that we could be a functional team. Out of my respect for her work ethic as well as her amicable nature, I continue to take pleasure in our communication.

Over the years I have recommended Franco to many of my friends and colleagues because of his open-minded style of communication and professional ethics. Franco and I met a few years ago and since then I have had the pleasure working with him on both the recruitment and career coaching. His professional and, at the same time, very warm and personalized approach made the job search fresh and alive for me. Franco gave me a new sense of pride in my career. On the career coaching side, I have thoroughly enjoyed both the style and the substance of Franco’s presentation during our sessions. His delivery is so engaging that I lose all track of time. Franco possesses an incredible easiness to build interpersonal relations with others by offering thoughtful observations, intelligent solutions, and using humour to make his point. Thank you very much for an enlightening and stimulating experience, Franco!

After acquiring my CMA designation, all that I felt needed was to focus on my career and find the right job in an environment that would allow be to demonstrate my abilities. I worked with many other recruiters throughout 2010 and that was one of my biggest regrets. Then Franco found me. I would describe Franco's style as being beyond professional. He seems to have a very good eye for the exact job that suits you. He is also very personable and empathetic as I found that I did not need to explain all the details of what I wanted in my career. He just seemed to have the ability to understand me and my career goals. He consistently followed up with me to provide reassurance that he was continuously working on my search. To be honest, I will always recommend anyone I know to work with Franco. To Franco, Thank you so much.

Franco Rinaldin has been a great resource of talent for my Finance team since 2006 when I joined the Company. With his team at Fromm Search Group (formerly Fromm & Associates), Franco has successfully filled critical accounting positions in a timely and efficient manner and the Fromm placements have had seemless integration into our company. Franco executes each search as though he was hiring for his own team. He brings passion and creativity to each assignment and he will do whatever it takes to find the best fit for his clients. He has a deep understanding of our corporate values and he recruits and screens based on these criteria as critically as with the technical requirements for each position. When I need a critical external hire, I have no hesitation in using Franco and his team's services at Fromm Search Group for my staffing requirements.

Professionalism, diligence, and attention to detail were some of my first impressions of Franco Rinaldin. Our professional relationship has grown over the past 7 years as he has assisted me both as an employee and employer. Over time I have discovered how refreshingly easy it is to work with him that I find myself referring to him anyone and everyone in search of work because I am a true believer in his talent as a recruiter. One thing that has always impressed me about Franco is his ability to truly understand my intricate needs and meet them beyond expectations. When it comes time to make a decision, whether it’s accepting a position or hiring a new recruit, Franco always offers impartial advice but never tries to influence the outcome in his favour. He truly puts the needs of his clients first. Franco’s experience in the industry, his knowledge of his clients’ profiles and his ability to fit the pieces together seamlessly makes him an invaluable resource in all your employment and staffing needs – I don’t work with anyone else!

Franco Rinaldin was a key partner in our corporation’s success in an aggressive and competitive growth arena over the 4 years that I had led the sales and customer service division for an international computer reseller. Growing from a base business of $12 million to an astounding $150 million in four years through both natural growth and growth through acquisition meant that we needed the services of Franco in all of our Human Resourcing needs for our business. He supported both the aggressive and demanding cradle to grave aspects of all of our people resourcing including; recruiting, screening, interviewing, hiring, discipline and termination were all key aspects that Franco supported on a weekly basis. He implemented key operational human resource processes and protocols to ensure success. He had provided excellent strategic HR partnering in key areas of Organizational Development, employee retention and ensuring a healthy workplace, through the development and execution of key programs such as on-boarding, employee training, and harassment in the workplace training. He also established a key framework around benefits and negotiated the contract with the benefit supplier that also supported our retention requirements. Not only was Franco rounded in the HR aspect, his added responsibility of facilities management had proved to be extremely beneficial in supporting retention of employees and leading us through a major relocation. Equally as important as the HR expertise that Franco brought to the organization was how he did it. His unrelenting commitment to excellence combined with his excellence in communicating and keen understanding of his business partners needs, ensured a successful outcome and great corporate success. Franco brings to any company key Human Resource expertise with direct knowledge of small, medium and international companies along with the added experience and expertise in supporting aggressive growth.

One of the things that strikes me as different about Franco is his sincerity, honesty and genuine willingness to help, in anyway possible. I have very high expectations of service levels with recruiters and I feel very comfortable having frank and open conversations with Franco - he just brings it out in me! Franco takes the time to listen to my requirements, ask questions and has a deep willingness to understand exactly what I need. He has also been very effective in assisting me to create new job positions for my departments with detailed job descriptions.
