In an industry that attracts those who hide behind a fragile patina of hubris and bravado, it’s rare to find the real deal. Stacy Pursell is a genuine bona fide top producer who is also one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever known. I have met literally thousands of recruiters in my role as a coach and consultant/trainer to those in the industry. Stacy Pursell is one of the most impressive, and one who has earned not just my respect, but also my admiration. It’s rare to find someone with a clearly defined value system who is also adept at the nuance and achievement skills required to function as a high performing executive search consultant. It’s no surprise that she is one of the top billing recruiters in the industry. I highly recommend Stacy and her search work.

Stacy has presented several great candidates for open positions within my company. She helped me get my position with *******. I have had experience from both sides with Stacy’s performance, as a candidate, and as a hiring manager. She’s very open, and is familiar with the attributes we are looking for with each position, and presents only those candidates that have the qualities and skills needed. She’s realistic about each applicant and doesn’t gloss over issues. I’m very comfortable working with Stacy.

Stacy did an excellent job helping me to find and apply for my current position. She was very organized and prompt and provided me with many useful tips on interviewing. I don’t think I would have gotten this job without her.

Stacy is unique among the recruiters with whom I have worked. She successfully holds both the interest of the company and that of the candidate in her mind at all times. The result is the right candidate for the right job. Even more important, Stacy is extremely professional and passionate about her work. She is always striving to serve her client in the most effective manner possible. Stacy is conscientious about her work and is very protective of the confidences entrusted to her. Stacy is hard working. Many times I have had discussions with her at night or on weekends as my travel schedule prevented calls during regular business hours. Each time, she handled the conversation in a patient manner with a full discussion of the topic. I heartily recommend Stacy as a recruiter on behalf of a company or as an advocate for a job seeker. You will find her unsurpassed in the veterinary industry.

Stacy has an intimate knowledge of the animal health industry and is well connected in all areas. She provides candidates with the requisite talent and qualifications and works well within company hiring guidelines. I certainly recommend her highly.

Stacy is not the average recruiter. Her dedication in making sure that everything goes well during all steps of the process, even months after the person is on the new job, is amazing. She communicates often with the parties involved, provides relevant information, and make sure every step of the process is smooth and efficient. I am planning to use her services whenever I need to recruit good animal health professionals.

I’ve known Stacy since I began in veterinary industry and her reputation is stellar. I trust her implicitly and know that she is 100% discreet and ethical. I’ve never had to use her services personally, however if I needed a job, she’s the first one I’d call. I’ve seen many friends and colleagues get great jobs because of her, and I know the companies where they work are equally happy with the placements . Stacy is definitely someone on my speed dial!!

Stacy Pursell was recommended to me by another recruiter. I was told that she was “the person” in veterinary recruiting. This statement couldn’t have been more correct. Stacy is very efficient and professional. She takes the time to find out exactly what you are looking for and keeps you informed on every move she makes on your behalf. Her website, The Pursell Group, is very informative – offering helpful tips for telephone interviews, face to face interviews, available openings, etc. She makes it a point to contact the veterinarian that she is representing and the potential employer before and after the interview for feedback.
I have been very pleased with the help that Stacy has provided me and would recommend her to any veterinarian interested in changing their circumstances – whether it be in private practice or industry.
Linda Grace, DVM
