“Saying Steve Ribbens is a competent professional does not do him justice. I have been CEO of several large companies over the last 40 years and have rarely encountered the insight and dedication Steve brings to the task of finding the right person for the job. For him the engagement does not end when he places the person – it continues on long after and he has helped me over some rough spots when issues arise. Finally, he has been a great sounding board for helping me sort out internal management issues and how to solve them. I highly recommend Steve Ribbens.”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steve since 2012. He has helped me build teams at two separate organizations under very different circumstances. In the first instance we were looking to build our management team for a new regional office and Steve did an excellent job presenting top notch candidates for these key roles. In the second organization, Steve has helped us backfill key leadership positions as they became available. Steve is a professional who takes the time to understand the needs of the organization and communicates regularly with us throughout the process of each search. It has been a pleasure to work with Steve I look forward to continuing a very productive relationship.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend the recruiting services of Steve Ribbens of Cooper Associates. Having known Steve for over 10 years, I can honestly say that Steve tackles all assignments with expertise and confidence. Questions or concerns raised either by his clients or candidates are taken seriously and are addressed with thoroughness and sensitivity. During numerous times of fast-paced growth in highly competitive environments, Steve proved to be an excellent partner in filling several critical positions. Steve’s professional and personal integrity coupled with his commitment to getting the job done make it easy for me to recommend Steve unequivocally.
