His advice was intelligent, personalized, thorough, and tremendously valuable. He always followed up with scheduled meetings and phone calls, within minutes. He called with updates at every step of the process. He provided me with multiple opportunities, so I had options. He really made me feel like I was his most important client. I could always count on him to follow up how and when he said he would. I have already recommended him to others who are open to job search/resume guidance and I will confidently continue to do so.”

“Since moving to NYC a few years ago, Dave and ECG Resources have been a great resource. He and his team listened to my career goals and put me in contact with the people and firms that best suited my goals. I don’t think of Dave as a headhunter, but more as a partner. Dave and ECG don’t just get you interviews, they get you the right interviews. I recently changed firms, and the excitement I had for the new position was echoed by the whole team at ECG. The receptionist answered the phone, knew who I was and congratulated me on accepting the new position. With ECG, you feel like a part of the family, your success is theirs as well. It has truly been a pleasure to work with ECG Resources, and I cannot thank them enough for putting me in contact with the right people.”

He listened as I talked about where I was and where I wanted to be, and then he began a thoughtful search. Gary has a keen sense about who people really are, and whether or not they would be a successful match for the long-term success of a particular team or firm. He is a positive coach and booster, proactive advocate and consummate professional. He also understands what wealth management teams are looking for, and the nuances between different kinds of positions within the finance and fiduciary space. I appreciated his support and expertise immensely.”
-Elizabeth Nam, Wealth Management Advisor, National Wealth Management Firm
“I really appreciate ECG’s and Gary’s work with my transition. I have worked with executive search firms in the past, and it was akin to a high pressure sales experience. Not at all with Gary. On the contrary, Gary understood the limitations of my situation and worked with me to get me the position that worked best for me. He provided valuable insight and coaching that helped me through the interview process. His unique knowledge of the company I joined was tremendously helpful. I had a good idea of the culture I was joining and knew it was a good fit. I appreciate all of Gary’s help in making my transition so smooth.”
-Mike, Senior Wealth Strategist, National Wealth Management Firm
“Dave and his team were everything I wanted in a placement firm, extremely professional yet approachable. I worked with Dave directly and throughout the process he was supportive and helpful – it had been some time since I last interviewed and he willingly provided coaching and advice (that I didn’t even realize I needed until I was in the thick of it!). Most importantly, my search was confidential and my resume was only being sent out to positions I was interested in. Dave was careful to screen who and where he sent my information and was never pushy. I truly felt that Dave and his team had my back and during salary negotiations, he suggested what was best for me long term at my new firm. I was able to be frank and open with him and he always gave me his honest opinion. I would (and have) recommend Dave and ECG to all my friends and anyone looking for a position in the wealth management field.”

“Gary reached out to me about an open position. Within days he organized my first interview with the Company.

-Sue Marsh, CPA, Senior Wealth Planning Strategist

-Alessandra DiMauro, CFP, AEP, Financial Counselor at Resnick Advisors
“I was not really actively looking for a new position, but had been in contact with ECG on and off for over 5 years, when Gary called me about an opportunity with one of his clients. He felt that I was the right personality and skill set for the position he was filling, but I had some reservations as I had no interest in living in Miami. Gary thoroughly explained the position and the dynamics of the firm as well as the personalities of the Senior Managers I would be working with. That knowledge helped me decide to further explore the opportunity. Needless to say, Gary was right, once I flew in for the interview process and had met the key players in the market I felt like I had found a home. I have been with the firm for 9 months now and could not be happier with the fit!”
– Renee’ C, Senior Wealth Planning Strategist, National Wealth Management Firm

He is someone I trust to advance my best interests.”
-Julia Chu, Head of Philanthropy, Director at Credit Suisse
“I had the pleasure of working with Dave during my career transition to Goldman Sachs. He was immediately dedicated in helping and even provided support in ways I didn’t even know I needed assistance in. His advice was extremely valuable, intelligent and thorough, plus I could always count on him to follow up before I even reached out. I highly recommend him to others and will continue to do so. Thank you very much Dave!!”
-Hyun J. K., Wealth Analyst at Goldman Sachs
“Dave was instrumental and patient in coming across the right opportunity for me with such a great firm. You could clearly tell from the very beginning that his drive and passion was to ensure that I found not just any job, but my dream job. His experience in wealth management is unprecedented as he is extremely knowledgeable of the field and what employers are looking for to ensure that it is a right fit for everyone. One key quality that I found stood out to me in comparison to other recruiters was that he was very diligent in staying connected throughout the interview process before and after. He always made a point to give honest advice and guidance throughout our experience together. In short, Dave is excellent at what he does! Just take my word for it and reach out to him:)!”
-Lovelle Menzie, Experienced Senior Tax Consultant, Private Wealth at Deloitte Tax, LLP
“Dave has contacted me a few times over the years about positions, and I have always found him to be very friendly and professional, very knowledgeable about the position, the company, and the industry. Dave is a great listener, and he always endeavors to fully understand what is important to me in my career, and we have had more than one conversation in which together we concluded the position about which he was calling me was not going to be the right move given my career objectives. Our most recent conversations resulted in me accepting an offer which turned out to be a great move for my career, and Dave was very helpful and patient as I completed my rigorous due diligence about the position, the firm, and the people. When I told Dave in the middle of the interview process that we needed to take a break so that my family and I could take a planned trip to Europe without me having to respond to emails or phone calls, he respected that request and contacted me again shortly after our return. I highly recommend Dave to employers and, to potential candidates I say, always take his call–you’ll enjoy the conversation and probably learn something, even if it does not result in a new job for one reason or another.”
-Angelo Loumbas, Senior Wealth Planning Strategist at Wells Fargo–The Private Bank
“I had the great pleasure to work with Dave Glaser and his firm throughout a very rigorous job interview process. This was my first experience working with an executive search firm and Dave and his team set the bar exceptionally high. Dave’s professionalism and comprehensive industry-specific knowledge stood out from the outset. Dave kept me regularly informed of progress, being very timely in communication, forthcoming with feedback, and making a tremendous investment of time to prepare me for each interview. Dave was very involved with every step of the process, regardless how tedious, and I could not have prepared for or performed as well throughout the interview process without his expert coaching. What made the entire experience all the more rewarding was Dave’s brilliant attitude and personality. I am truly indebted!”
-Kristina Segesvary, Vice President, Wealth Strategist at Goldman Sachs
“I had a really excellent experience working with Dave through the process of making my next career move. Everything was incredibly easy: he was able to help me identify a company that would be a great fit for me, followed up with me regularly to ensure I had the information I needed to move forward with the interview process, and offered helpful advice at every juncture. His experience in the private client arena is second to none and I would unequivocally recommend him to anyone considering changing jobs in this field.”

I wake up really happy to go to work everyday and it is all thanks to Dave! During the process, Dave became a close, trusted friend who I could speak with comfortably about any aspect of the recruiting process. I was astounded by the amount of time and effort he puts in to make sure you get what you want. He does not give you any pressure and gives you ample time to make your decision and take the process one step at a time. I do not know too many people that would give up part of their personal time during the weekends to call you to make sure you are calm and relaxed while awaiting an offer. He is absolutely top-notch!”

When the time came that I needed guidance, ECG was invaluable to me. They immediately set me up with approximately 1/2 dozen prospects and within days I had interviews set up. They were in constant contact with me and always gave me the best background information on either the firms or the people I would be meeting with. I give ECG 5 stars and recommend them to everyone and anyone.”
