November 2009 To whom it may concern: Ann Marie and I have been friends for over 35 years. When I was considering a career move I talked to Ann Marie. Though I didn’t make the move at the time, I was most impressed with the career advice she gave me which was generous, strategic, prudent and perceptive. I followed her advice and my career took off. I never forgot the impact she had on me. As a result, years later when I decided to interview for a position, I called Ann Marie and hired her to coach me through the process. Ann Marie coached me through the interviewing process and negotiate my compensation. I achieved everything I wanted. A tremendous new job, the salary, signing bonus and year end bonus I wanted. You can’t ask for anything more. From a coaching perspective, she helped me understand the difference in perspective and goals for the interviewer versus interviewee. She helped me understand the subtle differences between interpretation and intention. Ann Marie was responsive, gave me confidence, helped me frame my answers; anticipate objections and how to turn them into a positive. She helped me frame my experience into stories, strengths and attributes in such a way that I felt confident without being arrogant. Most importantly, she helped me understand the goal of the interview. After achieving my goal, when it came down to an offer, I went back to Ann Marie for more coaching and she was spot on. I never would have achieved my compensation goal without her advice. Not only did she pump me up, but she gave me the confidence and helped me understand that I deserved what I was asking for along with the understanding of gender related issues surrounding compensation. Most importantly as a mid-life career women with a family, I strongly recommend Ann Marie as an incredible career coach. She was empowering, supportive, energizing, enthusiastic and highly motivating. She did a great job for me and I urge anyone to use her services who is considering a career move.

"Whenever my colleagues from other banks inquire about employment agencies or placement firms I have used, Derby Associates is the one that quickly comes to mind. I tell them that Derby takes the time to familiarize themselves with my bank and then uses that experience and knowledge to find me the right employee. It seems Derby has a sixth sense about who would work well here, and inevitably, they present the perfect candidate to me."
-Jean
"As a busy, solo practitioner, who performs services out of the office a considerable amount of time, I depend on my office assistant immensely. When it was necessary to replace my longterm assistant, who was departing on maternity leave, I turned to several employment agencies for her replacement. The quality of candidates from Derby Associates was far and above that offered by other agencies. There was really no comparison, and one of the Derby candidates was selected. I would definitely return to Derby Associates, if the need (I hope not!) arises."

"I have been working with Derby Associates for years. I would not use anyone else. Amy my rep work's with me closely. She asks several key questions to help find me the perfect Salon Manager and Salon Coordinators. She has saved me hours of time. The people that she has sent to me are far more professional than I would have found in the newspaper . Most of the staff I hired through Derby Associates are still working with me today."
-Beth
"I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Derby Associates and especially to Amy Homes for all the attention and cooperation they provided in our search for qualified candidates to manage our busy and often complex Business Office. It takes very dedicated employment consultants to 'hear' and categorize the needs of the client, applying that specific information in their interviewing and skills assessment process to search for that 'excellent' fit in both personality and skills base. They were very successful in filling our Business Office openings through their consistent and persistent efforts, saving us many hours in the review and interviewing process, and for that we are most grateful and happy to pay the fee involved in this cost-saving solution."
