"I first got to know Gene and RCI when Gene approached me in early 2004 for a role with BST running their international operations. At the time I wasn’t looking for a move but Gene kept in touch and a few months later convinced me to talk to the Chairman. I joined BST in September 2004. Over the last 8 years Gene has been true partner to BST. He has tracked our progress, consistently working with us to identify new talent. Further, Gene has been a valuable advisor to me personally, helping define the developing talent needs in the business. Gene and his team have a notable ability to understand not only the skills and experience needed, but critically to appreciate the cultural dynamics and what type of people will be successful at BST. I expect that Gene and his team will be a partner to myself and BST’s leadership for many years to come."

"I needed to hire a CEO/Managing Director of EMEA for our $250M IT training company. A previous search for the same position conducted by a world-wide technology centric search firm did not yield the desired candidates. Within 30 days of retaining RCI, I was interviewing a shortlist of 5 exceptionally strong candidates. I hired the best suited and created an SVP position elsewhere in the company for another candidate. I would strongly recommend RCI."

"I have known Gene Rice for many years but have only recently worked with Rice Cohen International on the vendor side. Oliver Wyman used the services of Rice Cohen to place a Director of Business Development within our Leadership Development Practice. We evaluated many other search firms prior to making a decision and our choice to go with Rice Cohen was largely based on Gene Rice’s proven 25-Step Process and Rice Cohen’s commitment to truly partner with us through the whole search process. Gene Rice and his team of experienced search consultants established credibility with our entire team and the value they added was second to none.

In addition to understanding our company and offerings, the Rice Cohen team uncovered many qualified candidates that we did not and would not have access to otherwise. Gene Rice and his team challenged our recruiting in a very tactful and humble way and helped us secure a key hire for our Boston office.

Gene Rice and Rice Cohen International have my highest endorsement." Gregory LeStage
