Non profit and Health Institutions Public and Private Clients: -back to top- During my tenure as CEO of the Thomson Educational Publishing Group (now Cengage), my colleagues and I had numerous occasions to employ the search services of P J Lynch Associates for various high level positions within our organization, including four division heads. I worked with Pat Lynch for seven years as Vice President Human Resources for a large children’s publisher. Pat handled searches for the most senior managers --Sr. Vice Presidents of Sales, Marketing, Editorial, Production and for Chief Editors, Marketing Managers, Production Managers, etc. He is sensitive to personalities and differing needs of different managers. I was able to discuss sensitive business information knowing everything was completely confidential. I have known Pat Lynch for more than 30 years. Patrick is an exceptional “quick-study”; as a highly ethical business person; a strong reader of staff qualities and an excellent judge of human character. Patrick has a no nonsense mentality that is wrapped in a sensitive non-ego driven package that makes dealing with him a pleasure as he quickly gets the assignment message and is able to move from set-up to execution in lightening speed. I’ve been involved in executive recruitment for many years, recruiting top notch sales professionals, as well as senior level executives in a variety of roles. Whether it’s been a President of an operating unit, a SVP Sales, a SVP of Publishing, SVP of Marketing, one of my most trusted and successful sources has been P J Lynch Associates. Pat Lynch goes the extra mile in finding the “right” executive for the specific role that needs to be filled. While President and CEO at ProQuest, I also sourced some of the best online executives in the business through Pat Lynch that helped propel ProQuest to where it is today. Pat Lynch listens to what the role is, asks questions to fully understand it, and usually adds insights from his own experience to enhance the role. I whole heartedly recommend Pat Lynch and his team. Non Profit and Health Institutions: -back to top- Pat has served as a member of our Board of Trustees with distinction. As President of St Edmund’s Retreat, he has served as a valuable counselor and advisor on many issues regarding personnel, administration and finances. His insight and understanding of our Catholic Mission, which is borne out of his own faith commitment allows him to give sound and prudent advice to this dynamic and growing ministry. I think he would be of great service to any diocese and your subsidiary ministries. I am pleased to provide this reference regarding the work performed on behalf of MCCA by PJ Lynch Associates. PJ Lynch Associates has provided exceptionally successful executive search services for MCCA. The firm effectively recruited two high quality vice presidents, one for quality assurance and outcome management and the other for clinical operations. It is without hesitation that I recommend the firm and would eagerly utilize PJ Lynch Associates again for an executive recruitment effort. I am writing this recommendation for Patrick J. Lynch and his firm. I have known him professionally for 5 years and have worked with him numerous times in my capacity as Director of Human Resources with the publisher, Scholastic, Inc. Pat handled all of the elements of the search process with meticulous care. He is extremely knowledgeable about the business of finding and recruiting good talent. Pat is very well versed at identifying the needs of an organization. His in depth knowledge of the field of talent acquisition and management is unmatched. In addition, his personal demeanor makes him a pleasure to work with. I recommend Pat without reservation. Pat has a very full appreciation of the "workings" in a Catholic environment and his vetting process is beyond compare. In my positions with The National Catholic Bioethics Center, and prior working with the Archdiocese of Boston, Dioceses of Providence and Norwich, I know what is expected in the quality of an individual needed to work in a Chancery. If I could vote for Pat Lynch as the executive recruiter to bring these types of people to an organization, I most certainly would whole heartedly. Candidates: -back to top- Pat Lynch is the consummate professional and a joy to work with as a technology recruiter. With his years of experience and extensive professional network, Pat differentiates himself most by demonstrating a clear and genuine concern for the candidate and the employer to ensure a proper match. Most importantly, he stays in touch and does not hire and forget. I highly recommend his approach to help build professional technology teams. P.J. Lynch Associates placed me in an executive position that fit my skills and career path. They knew the company, described the position's responsibilities and demands accurately, kept me informed throughout the process and promptly responded to my queries. It was a pleasure working with Pat Lynch and his staff throughout the process. My experience with PJ Lynch Associates has been wonderful. They identified me for an opening that fit my specialized work experience perfectly, and treated me with an exceptional level of professionalism. Throughout the lengthy interview process, their first priority was to ensure an excellent match for both me and my new employer. Now, five months after accepting my new position, I am quite happy with my job. I highly recommend PJ Lynch Associates.
