"Stewart Koenig recruited me for JP Morgan in the spring of 2000, and helped me transition from a technical professional to business analyst. As a recruiter, he immediately understood my requirements and got me interviews right away. His communication skills and hard work made it easy to strategize for the interviews and follow up quickly. When the offer finally came I was thrilled. The company was a good match for me with a number of competitive, entrepreneurial possibilities within the organization. I have since referred PCI to several of my colleagues, and now that I am back in the market I have reached out to PCI for their help again."

Aya Shimada, Business Analyst, JP Morgan

"I first met Stew Koenig in 1999, when he placed me as a Sr. PM. At that time, he was one of many recruiters I had spoken with, but Stew quickly proved to be a standout with his sharp industry insights, strong sense of integrity, and ability to get results. Stew continues to be a great resource providing accurate analysis of the employment market, which is invaluable to me both as an employee and as a hiring manager. For any placement or hiring needs, I would definitely turn to PCI for assistance.

He took great care in understanding the skills that we were hiring for and made sure that candidates matched our culture and standards. Stewart is very personable and I felt very in sync with him throughout the process. I was very pleased with the quality of candidates that Stewart presented to us.

I would hire Stewart to assist with my recruiting efforts in the future."

Bert Cohen, Information Technology Manager, Maverick Capital

“I have known Stew Koenig for almost 3 years and I have been a candidate and now a client. When I landed as the Director of Corporate Technology at a $400 million a year media and entertainment company 9 months ago I was facing a huge task. The challenges ranged from reinventing our existing IT organization, beefing up our infrastructure and initiating several large scale multi million dollar business intelligence and web development projects.

I realized early on that I would need several key staff members with different levels of management experience and very different types of technical expertise. Stew’s input was invaluable. He made several suggestions about the organizational structure of the department, scope of responsibility of the positions, adjustments to compensation levels between positions that kept us within budget and would allow us to attract the best possible candidates.

Afterward, I was quickly presented with a list of prescreened candidates that fit the bill. Then PCI stayed on top of all the details and kept the process on track so that we could stay on schedule. We threw several curve balls at Stew and he came up with very innovative solutions for us. Although, PCI saved me a lot of time and effort that allowed me to stay focused on my job, the real value was in the people they found for us. They truly raised the bar and are delivering great results.

Felix Santella, Director of Corporate Technology
Good Times Entertainment Inc.”

"Stew Koenig of PCI placed me as the CTO of the number two pre paid calling card company in the US, with $300 million in annual sales.  Stew knew that that my strengths as a manager exactly suited 9278’s requirements.  Now I count myself among the few who can say that I enjoy coming to work everyday.

Since I arrived at 9278, PCI has conducted a number of searches for us. They do an excellent job, the searches were executed quickly and the candidates always met, and in most cases exceeded our expectations. PCI’s approach is refreshing compared to the other recruiters I have worked with. They are low pressure, trust worthy and very professional."
