Testimonials
“Over the past several years our company has engaged Perras Consulting in 11 searches overall, including several at the Vice President level. In each case the searches were extremely thorough, and resulted in excellent candidates being hired. We also recently used Paul for an Onboarding process with a senior person, and this process helped the person land and function rapidly by receiving the coaching needed to adapt to a new environment. On another matter, relating to a board external to the company, Paul provided pro bono advice to a university president regarding recruiting practices, which was much appreciated by the university and by me.
I can conclude by highly recommending Paul Perras for executive recruitment and Onboarding coaching.”
John S. – President & CEO, global life sciences company
“During our 10-year association with Perras Consulting, they have successfully completed over 20 management to executive level assignments on our behalf, across 3 key divisions. Although several of these searches have been quite difficult, they have consistently presented an impressive short list of candidates. Their firm clearly identifies the competencies and the soft qualities of each role, consistently employs a rigorous recruiting approach and brings a quality focus to each phase of their assignments.”

“I was hired into my current Vice President role by Paul Perras, and subsequently worked with him as my coach during a valuable 4-month Onboarding program. My experiences interacting with Paul, as both a candidate and a coaching client, have been very positive.
As a search consultant, he took the time to provide me with in-depth knowledge related to the company and the position, and kept me in the communication loop throughout the entire process. He was consistently personable, respectful and professional.
While the Onboarding coaching was multi-faceted, it primarily focused on high-priority goals and assisted me to effectively integrate and quickly contribute to the new culture. It was a valuable experience. Paul is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend him highly as both a search consultant and executive coach.”
