For Clients:

You want a firm that knows exactly who to call and how to attract them to you. We specialize in direct-contact recruiting to deliver timely results.

Our connections and our understanding of managing the hiring process are the ultimate value we bring to our clients.  We have been networking and building relationships with professionals in your direct market space, centered around their career, so that we know which opportunities would be attractive to them and what it would take for them to consider making a career move. 

We take the time at the beginning of each talent search to thoroughly understand your business goals, what you hope to accomplish by filling the position, what a successful candidate should bring to the table and who will be a good cultural fit.  With this information, we develop a search gameplan & timeline, then conduct a targeted search and present you with pre-qualified candidates matched to your role. 

We work very closely with both you and the candidates throughout the interview process.  Once finalists are determined, we guide both parties through the offer, acceptance and transition process toward a successful start date.

Testimonials

We’ve been working with Kevin & Kim for over 15 years. They helped place me with my current company, and we’ve since worked with them to hire more than half of our sales team. Each time the process has gone very smoothly. They take time to understand our hiring needs, and typically bring us multiple, qualified candidates within a few weeks. If you’re hiring in the ingredient space, I would highly recommend reaching out to see if they can help you too.

Client

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin to secure my current position. His guidance and support were critical to my success. He helped me understand what to expect from my future employer and how to present myself as the ideal candidate. I truly believe that I secured this position because of his thoughtful feedback and encouragement.”

I highly recommend Kevin for any recruiting needs. His deep industry knowledge and quick, responsive approach were invaluable in our recent hiring process. Kevin was exceptional at establishing accurate market expectations and salary guidance, and he presented a pipeline of strong candidates with impressive speed and urgency, ensuring interviews were scheduled right away. The entire process—from our initial meeting to the final offer and finding the perfect fit for our open role—was remarkably smooth, and Kevin was always easy to get a hold of.

Searchstone Partners has been evolving since 1984.  Our founder Ted Mashack opened Management Recruiters of Bucks County.  President & current owner Kevin McCann began his recruiting career with the company in 1994 and established the ingredients & flavors division in 2000, added the food manufacturing market segment in recent years, and continues to operate exclusively in those market sectors today.  Kim Tuono (formerly Cummiskey), Vice President, joined the firm in 2006 and her entire recruiting career has been in the ingredients/flavors/food sector.  Sherry McCann recently joined the company as Director of Research & Operations. She leads our research projects and manages the company’s administrative and operational functions.

Kevin purchased the company in 2016 upon Ted’s retirement and he and his team continue to operate exclusively in this market niche.
