“I have had the pleasure of working with Dean on several executive searches, and he has done an impeccable job. The Jackson Stevens 7 Dimensions have been instrumental in allowing my executive candidates to fully understand and communicate the value they have delivered throughout their careers. By having a résumé that speaks to the client’s needs, I have a candidate that outshines the competition, allowing the discussion to move to matters of substance, and away from a “résumé review.” Dean’s résumé & candidate preparation, vast network of executives across industries, and executive search experience combine to create a significant value-add to the services I provide my clients and candidates. The proof is in the profit.”
Denis Bilodeau, Managing Partner, GRN Bridgewater | Healthcare
“I wish I would have had the good fortune of meeting Jackson Stevens about 10 years ago. The clarity and succinctness of the Jackson Stevens 7 Dimensions and how it conveys the quality and talent of candidates I submit to employers is unmatched. Employers find out up-front, before even meeting the candidate, that he / she can do the job and how well. That means more interviews, more placements, and more revenue. It’s refreshing to finally have met someone who writes résumés and presentations who is also an expert on executive search. If you are an executive or leadership candidate reading this and need a referral, please contact me. I will be happy to connect you.”
Jackie Bandish, The Bandish Group | Pharmaceutical Staffing

We have had numerous candidates have great success with Jackson Stevens’ final résumé version for them. We at The Bandish Group highly recommend their services.”
