MDL Partners Reviews and Success Stories
I am extremely grateful for the guidance, support, and encouragement MDL provided me throughout this process. Their strategies on proactive outreach and meticulous follow-up, and working with the MDL team, helped me to find what I believe to be the right firm, the right culture, and the right people.
I am sincerely thankful to MDL, and I look forward to providing assistance to other MDL members going forward as an active part of the member community.
I have thoroughly enjoyed and have learned so much since joining MDL. Working with Paul Stanton has introduced me to a completely new way of conducting a job search.
I wanted to let you know how valuable the MDL experience was for me, and in particular working with Ed - the discipline on networking and building a personal brand, as well as the development of supporting speaking points to demonstrate your brand all played a significant role in securing this role. Proud to be part of the MDL network.
I'm a senior marketing executive and consultant who came to MDL when I was in between jobs in 2017. I had never worked with a coaching service before so I was a bit skeptical of the value. My first coach, Ed, was fantastic. He helped me craft my story and background as well as in negotiating a large client contract that wound up lasting 4.5 years. I have been able to come back to MDL for advice as my career has progressed. Most recently, both Ed and Brion added great value in a negotiation for full-time employment as VP of marketing at a start-up. I would highly recommend MDL.
I am absolutely convinced that my odds of landing my new job would have been radically lower without MDL’s assistance. Your firm gave me the materials, coaching, and confidence that I needed at this stage of my career, and most importantly, a key contact within my targeted company at the critical moment.
That contact told HR that anyone recommended by MDL is someone they had to meet in-person, and that endorsement got me in the door.
I am ever grateful to your team, and I will always recommend MDL (in fact, I already have) to high-quality candidates.
I have been meaning to express my gratitude and to share with you how impactful your team’s counsel has been to my career. I closed on a terrific opportunity, and not a day goes by when I don’t feel blessed. Feels unreal!
I engaged with MDL Partners when I realized I had invested more in my lawn than in my career.
Excited to announce that I have accepted an offer as Head of Asset and Liability Management at [a Fortune 500 Company]. It’s a very exciting opportunity, playing to all my strengths, and pays >50% higher than what I’m currently making. Thanks for all your help!
It was very encouraging to have this level of support throughout the [job search] process. My new boss would later tell me that I was extended an offer because I was client of MDL and had made the investment that many do not.
When I started my search, after company restructuring eliminated my role, I had 4 goals for my new job. I am thrilled to share that my new role achieves all 4 goals, and I wanted to thank MDL Partners for being instrumental in achieving this!
I discovered through the process [with MDL] that there are techniques that even the most prepared job seeker would not think of individually.
New situation at [Company K] is working out great. Used techniques you coached me in to land it!
