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.
Mike L, VP Sales & Technical Services
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.”

Working with Kevin McCann at SearchStone Partners was a great experience. From my first conversation with him, Kevin demonstrated professionalism, deep industry knowledge, and a sincere commitment to helping me land my current role. His guidance through the interview process was outstanding, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new role.
Dustin S, Senior Account Manager
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.

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.
