“I can't say enough about Tarin's professionalism & dedication to the individuals he works with. I couldn't have asked for a better partner to help see me through this tremendous transition. He is thorough, thought provoking & always easily accessible. You will not work with a better recruiter.”

"I reached out to Tarin while I was interviewing for positions in 2010. I was interviewing a lot, but not getting the offer. I talked with Tarin about an upcoming interview for a position, with a great company, that I really wanted to land. Tarin was not even involved with the search, he wasn't getting any compensation, but he spent approximately 45 minutes talking with me. We talked about past interviews and why I wasn't getting the offer. He coached me on the upcoming interview and I ended up with offers from two differenct companies following our conversation. The best situation I could have asked for."

Thank you Tarin! You didn't have to help, but you did on your own time and your guidance was excellent!

Over the past dozen years that I have worked in the financial services industry, I have teamed with various executive search firms and recruiters.  All have been on a contingency basis, with the exception of Tarin, who is retained by his client(s).  Through my work with Tarin, I have found that when retained, you need to have a much deeper and intimate knowledge of the company you are placing for, as well as a better feel for who would be a suitable fit within that company’s culture.   Beyond merely ‘knowing his client’ - which is a must for any salesperson - what most impressed me about Tarin was how he prepared me for the interview process.   Right from the get-go,  Tarin gauged my interest in the position and made sure I was fully aware of “his” process before moving forward in prepping me for the various rounds of interviews.  He challenged me by having me go through some rather intensive, thought-provoking and introspective exercises.  Tarin provided me with relevant information on some recent candidates that were extended offers and what it took to get them there, as well as where some other candidate fell short.  Bottom-line:  Tarin is a detail-oriented, no non-sense professional.  He absolutely speaks his mind and I have found him to be consistently spot-on.  Tarin and I have been working on this opportunity for about two months. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is no surprise that my soon-to-be employer, which also happens to be one of the largest asset managers in the world, has retained [KTP's] placement services.  With his deep client knowledge, his willingness to assist and his accessibility (nights/weekends, it doesn’t matter – Tarin will be there for you), we both hit our objective:  getting me an offer to work for his client.   Furthermore, Tarin hasn’t stopped there…he is coaching me on the resignation process as well, i.e. proper timing, who to resign to, etc.  He is fully your business partner in this process!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He has earned my full respect and I look forward to the opportunity to refer some of the contacts within my network to Tarin and his executive search business.  In my dozen years, he is far and away the best I have worked with.    ------------------------------------------
I fully endorse Tarin and KTP Executive Search Group!

"Tarin recently helped me take an enormous leap forward in my career as a Financial Sales Professional. He walked me through each step of the interview process and introduced me to his proven system for success. He constantly went above and beyond to ensure that every step I made was the right one. My interview process was ultimately a success with the help of Tarin's creativity, integrity and experience.

Working with Tarin was a great experience for me and I highly recommend his services for anyone who is ready to take the next step forward in their career."

"Tarin is tenacious and thorough, and committed to delivering results. When we first began working together he was only peripherally familiar with the particular function that our company was hiring for, and therefore made it a point to become a true expert very quickly. He devoted many hours to recruiting, coaching, and closing his candidates, going well above and beyond what is normally required. During the year we worked together he placed twice the number of candidates for me than any other recruiter. He is persuasive and effective, and I greatly appreciate his efforts."

"I have recevied this appointment and have it on my calendar! I am hard at work on my homework and have been all day. This prep process of yours is not easy, but it is highly effective! You need to copyright this and sell it, its the best process I have ever seen!"

"Thank you for taking the time to coach me for the [FIRM] interview on Tuesday. During my 20 year career, no headhunter has taken as much time or has taught me as much as you did in a half hour. I will work hard on the questions you given to me and will be more prepared for a phone interview than I have ever have been in the past."

“Tarin recruited me to Fisher Investments and without his sincere and professional persistence I might not have left AXA. Tarin knew that I would do well at Fisher and I have enjoyed great success and a fantastic group of people to work with. He is a great recruiter and one that I model myself after.”

“Tarin was a valuable asset through my hiring process and provided constructive advice for each interview. I was very impressed with his knowledge and experience in regards to recruitment.”

"I have worked with Tarin for the last two years on searches for internal wholesalers for American Funds. He has a deep understanding of the financial services industry and does an outstanding job of understanding our business objectives and the candidates we need to fill our roles. When his candidates are in process his follow-up is second-to-none and is appreciated. It has been a pleasure working with him and I recommend his services to others."

"I can't express how much I appreciate what you have done for me, you have really taught me what it takes to be prepared for an interview...."

"I had several failed interview attempts with other search firms and I believe part of the failures was due to lack of knowledge and preparation.  However, not only did KTP do the necessary due diligence on my position they also helped me prepare for all phases of the interview process.  That was absolutely key in me gaining my position.  KTP’s follow up was exceptional and I felt “in the loop” every step of the way.  Other firms that I worked  with did not provide that level of interaction."

"I was very impressed with Tarin's inclusive approach. He improved my resume', successfully coached me through the interview process, helped me decide on the merits of the offer, and finally, showed me how to transition to my new position. I was with my previous employer for almost 20 years, and thought I would never leave. I have spoken to hundreds of executive recruiters, and my answer was always the same....thanks but no thanks. Tarin not only has the experience and the ability to show you attractive opportunities, but his common sense approach gives you the confidence to improve your career."

"Tarin was a very effective and diligent advocate on my behalf.  He was persistent yet professional with the hiring company during a period where the company could easily have overlooked my candidacy due to their workload.  During the offer process, he provided sound guidance and helped me obtain a better compensation package than initially offered."

"In 2001 I started receiving calls from Tarin Yankovich a recruiter in Northern California about a job opportunity in the Philadelphia area.  I ignored Tarin’s calls for probably close to 6 months, even hanging up on him once.  But his persistence paid off and one day I took his call.  To my surprise he was working on a sound opportunity with a money management firm and I listened.  In early 2002 I accepted a Vice President role with Fisher Investments.  I’m very excited about the career move I made and my future with the company.  I keep in contact with Tarin to this day and even though he constantly reminds me of my hanging up on him, I thank him for is persistence and professionalism throughout the interview and hiring process.  To anyone who receives a call from Tarin, I would recommend one thing… “Listen.”
