Jorge Alderette Former President of ALK Abello
I have had the pleasure of working directly with Steve Blonstein as he has assisted my two National Account Managers and myself in sourcing many outside sales reps as well as inside sales rep. The best way to describe the services and talents of Steve is to detail how he was able to become the number 1 or only recruiter that we use for all our sales & services recruiting.
ALK Abello has used many other firms in the past prior to Steve Blonstein, but the reason we decided to primarily use his services is that he was able to get direct access to me and convince me that he could get us quality candidates even though I travel over 90% of the time and had no interest in having another recruiter. His tenacity and ability to build relationships within any organization to either get to a decision maker or source out key talent exemplifies why we have decided that he is our recruiter of choice. Most recruiters are just putting bodies into positions and are not strategically looking out for both parties in the transaction. Steve actually cares, shows interest in the business strategy, and is interested in a long-term business relationship not just filling one position, but rather establishing a consistent record of sourcing long term candidates. These candidates do not only meet the current position specs but have the potential to grow within our organization since Steve sources talent based on strategic issues not just tactical reasons.
I highly recommend that if your organization is interested in a recruiter that can give you specialized attention and shorten the recruiting timeframe while at the same time maximizing the quality of the candidates with a long term focus rather than a onetime body filling mentality you should work with Steve Blonstein.

Testimonials
Brittany Lisk Director of Human Resources Kasco LLC
I had the pleasure of working with Steve Blonstein for about a year. During that year he was a recruiter who was responsible for sourcing our Field Service Technicians throughout the country, which is a very niche and hard to fill position with a balance of technical skills and sales/soft skills. He was also responsible for filing a variety of administrative and office positions.
Steve was a great partner to our management team in truly understanding each position he worked on, spending extra time understanding in detail the technical side and ensuring he had a thorough knowledge of the details so he could properly vet and identify rock star candidates in the very specific locations that our field technicians needed to be located in. He was a valued member of our team who added tremendous value to the HR department as well as our organization as whole.

Words From Our Clients
I have worked with a number of recruiters over the years and Steve is hands down the best. He took the time to understand the type of candidates that we were looking for and was able to fill a significant number of our open roles in a short amount of time, thanks to his proactive mindset. Highly recommened.

I worked closely with Steve for approximately 7 or 8 years when I was Director of US Sales for both ALK and Stallergenes, the two world leaders in the allergy extract industry. Steve got to know me and our corporate cultures and asked all the right questions as to what I was looking for in terms of building cohesive teams. Steve then spent time getting to know the candidates as well and made some very strong hires that turned into President Club winners. I have no doubt that wherever Steve recruits, he will bring the same passion and dedication that he exemplified while working in the biotech field. I have remained friends with Steve for over a decade after leaving Stallergenes, which is a testament to his ability to forge relationships.
