Steve Shaddox is a true professional and I highly recommend him to anyone or any firm needing a recruiting expert to fill positions with your firm. I am in the engineering business, and Steve truly puts in 120% effort trying to find the right talent for the job. In addition, he always keeps you in mind when he has a candidate that he believes would be a good fit and addition to your firm. I have appreciated that very much. He stays in touch whether you have a current need or not, and that is a good trait demonstrating his interest in your business and success. All around great guy who is enjoyable to talk to and who truly understands the engineering business and our specific needs. Give Group One a try. You have nothing to lose and some great employees to gain. – Dale

I first met Steve as I was a Recruiter/Sourcer/Vendor Manager for HNTB Corporation. I was tasked with paring down a rather large list of vendors to a few select ones. Time and again, Steve and his team provided me with candidates who fit the open requirement to the “letter”. Steve created a very strong relationship with both HNTB leaders and the recruiting team. Steve made it clear to me time and time again that I fell into his “category” of preferred corporate recruiters. When HNTB fell into a layoff mode, I was among the first to be laid off and Steve informed me that we’d be keeping in touch, no matter what was in store for me in the future. To this day we have remained good friends and trusted colleagues. Between his personality and his skills as a dynamic and highly effective executive search recruiter….I highly recommend Steve be given the challenge for filling even the most difficult of requirements….he’s tops in his field. –  Howie

I met Steve Shaddox 25 years ago, during my tenure as CFO of a 75 man engineering company. Many times I called on Steve to provide me the best engineering applicants available. His portfolio of engineers, architects and planners was complete, varied and thoroughly screened. We were able to do business on several occasions because I could trust his judgment and character. Eventually, I relied solely on Group One Search when it came time to augment our staff. For 25 years I have not hesitated to recommend Steve as the best in recruitment search. – Carlton

I have known Steve Shaddox for 16 years and he exclusively conducted our executive recruiting for over 3 years while I worked in human resources for DSA Group, Inc., in Tampa, Florida (which specialized in civil engineering, environmental sciences, planning, building engineering, and surveying). He is the consummate professional and is personally commited to excellence. His astute attention to detail from the beginning of the search process, to placement and follow-up is second to none as he was focused on garnering the highest level of successful candidates. Steve has the innate ability to understand a client’s needs and time constraints in filling an employment position and thoroughly knows the core competencies of each candidate he places. He becomes well versed with a company’s culture and evaluates the most effective match of talents and behaviors to each specific job request. It is my pleasure to offer my highest regard and recommendation to Steve Shaddox and Group One Search, Inc. – Lorraine
