What are clients saying?
“Pam Marion is my number ONE researcher to contact when I have a challenging search. Pam exemplifies professionalism! She not only helps me complete the assignment successfully, but she is a great search partner, contributing to the search process above and beyond pure research. Her analytical skills, business and personal ethics, diligence, and passion in professional research make her a pleasure to work with. Pam is outstanding in her field!”
Stan Straube, Straube Associates, North Andover, MA
“We’ve worked with Pam and her team on numerous candidate research assignments over the past 4 years. Pam has earned her place to be our ‘go-to’ for these very tough candidate research projects – as she has never let us down. Her research results have consistently exceeded our expectations, often producing information and candidates beyond the scope of request.
"Once we review with Pam the details and challenges of a new candidate research project, she jumps in and brings herself up to speed quickly and accurately. This is critical for us at Continuum Health Partners because all recruitment efforts are urgent and vacancies need to be filled with qualified talent ‘yesterday’. Her ability to drill into the large complex healthcare systems we ask of her to identify the specific talent is uncanny. She is not just fast but also very accurate. She understands the quality of candidate we need and she has always delivered. Additionally, Pam is professional, articulate and pleasant with every potential candidate she connects with. Pam is just a delight to work with and seems so well suited to this type of research.”
Karen Maslow, formerly Senior Recruiter, Continuum Health Partners, Inc.
“My company has been in the retained recruiting business for over 30 years and has used a number of 3rd party recruiters for support over the years. Pam was recommended to me by a colleague several years ago and since then I have used her on numerous occasions. What I like about Pam and her team is that they are a one-stop shop. They are great at understanding the requirement, identifying the right target companies, and the right people to be contacted. In all instances, they present the opportunity to prospective candidates in an honest and accurate manner, which is very important to me. They are quite thorough and do a terrific job of candidate data gathering and summarizing candidate background info in a way that lets me know immediately whether I should follow-up with them. Her rates are reasonable, and she is a pleasure to work with.”

“I have the very highest regard for Pamela Marion Capasso. She assisted in my search practice for fifteen years. She is an excellent search consultant. Our role together was for her to manage the initial search process by identifying, contacting, and screening outstanding prospects for client assignments. She served as not only a trusted contractor, but a meticulous search professional who only presented outstanding candidates for final consideration.
"During my almost 20 years as an Executive Search Consultant, Pam was my ‘go to’ person for difficult senior management recruitment assignments. When I found Pam, I stopped looking. She has incredible assessment and interviewing skills. She never failed. She represented my company as a trusted partner. You cannot do better than Pam. “
