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.
SM, Managing Director
Client since 2022
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.
MH, President & Executive Director
Client since 2022
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.
NB, CEO
Client since 2022
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.
JG, Head of Marketing Strategy
Client since 2017
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.
RC, SVP Operations
Client since 2019
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!
NK, CEO
Client since 2005
I engaged with MDL Partners when I realized I had invested more in my lawn than in my career.
JS, CTO
Client since 2015
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!
AG, Head of Asset and Liability Management
Client since 2018
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.
MF, Director of Business Development
Client since 2014
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!
BCM, Director
Client since 2007
I discovered through the process [with MDL] that there are techniques that even the most prepared job seeker would not think of individually.
KS, General Manager
Client since 2012
New situation at [Company K] is working out great. Used techniques you coached me in to land it!
WL, Director
Client since 2001
