It is no secret that there are a number of recruiters and head-hunting firms out there and sometimes, either when you’re looking for a job or when you’re looking to fill an open position, it can become overwhelming trying to figure out which one will best serve your needs. In light of this, here are some testimonials from some of the clients and job-seekers we have worked with recently. We specialize in placing engineers and operations personnel within the chemical manufacturing industry and if you would like references regarding our work for other manufacturers, please let us know and we would be more than happy to give you the names of some people to call.

“I’ve known and worked with John for well over twenty years. I’ve hired a lot of engineers throughout my 30+ year career in the Chemical industry. I’ve always been able to count on John to find great candidates, even in challenging markets and work locations. What I have always really valued in John is his ability to clearly understand the functions I’m trying to fill, the work environment they’ll be working in, and the culture of the company. If I’ve needed a controls engineer working at a Chemical plant located 150 miles from any city in Kentucky; a process engineer who would travel the globe supporting a Corporate Central Engineering group; to production engineers; to R&D engineers…John has always produced a great slate of candidates that I’ve been pleased with well past their hire. John has always worked tirelessly to fill all of my needs.” –VP, Dir – Major U.S. Chemical Company

"Adam is an exceptional recruiter in the Chemical Engineering and applied process industries. A few areas where Adam really stands out are:
A. A deep bench of candidates and clients cultivated through networking and relationship building. If you are a chemical engineer, Adam will help you build your career with the right companies and get you into the right experiences for your background. If you are a company looking for specialized skillsets or a specific type of candidate, Adam already has a list of people he can call and knows exactly where to look if he doesn't. I can't emphasize how big of a strength this in the recruiting field and, frequently, it makes the difference between a long search or a short search or between finding the ideal candidate or an acceptable one.
B. Adam helps his clients develop their business. He keeps an annual benchmark on compensation and benefits information as well as the changing dynamics of the different process industries. For the organization trying to hire, this helps make sure that your expectations are calibrated to the market and you won't be losing candidates to salary negotiations. For the engineer looking for her next challenge, this helps her understand the market and what compensation she can reasonably negotiate for.
C. Adam is a great person. In this industry, finding a person that cares about the client and the engineer and the relationship that is build is hard. Adam is precisely this person.

If you are looking for chemical engineering candidates or are an engineer looking for your next career step, make Adam your first call."  - Principal Engineer

“I highly recommend John. I had used many recruiters to find chemical engineers until I met John. His work ethic, the network of professionals he has and the number of quality candidates he provided were unmatched. I have not, nor will I use another recruiter to find a chemical engineer.” –Former VP @ Rhodia Chemical

“Adam is a pleasure to work with; he holds the ability to evaluate skills and has the connections to help place talent where they would fit best. I highly recommend Sun Recruiting and thank them for their help!” –Project Engineer @ Roman Fountains

“I have worked with John repeatedly over the past 20 years and have been extremely pleased with his tenacity and sense of urgency in filling my open engineering positions at several Fortune 500 chemical companies. His careful attention to matching job requirements against candidate qualifications greatly reduces resume screening time and improves recruiting success rate. John is a first-rate individual and I highly recommend him for your recruiting needs.” – Engineering Manager (Fortune 500 Company)

“I can say John is an exceptional recruiting partner based upon working together with John over the last 15 years. His network and tireless work ethic has lead to successful hires for challenging to find engineering talent. The Chemical and Mechanical engineers I have hired through John have consistently been both successful technical contributors and promotable employees. John provides detailed upfront screening for potential candidates which improves a good initial match with the open position requirements. He is truly a reliable recruiter and placement professional.” – Engineering Manager @ Shell-Motiva

“Adam is an expert recruiting talent in the Chemical Industry specifically in Engineering and Manufacturing Operations. I worked with Adam over the course of a year while our organization rapidly added staff in preparation of large capital expansion projects. We partnered on many critical key positions and he was successful in helping us onboard some “hard to find” talent in a very tight labor market. Adam was always responsive to my inquiries and had an excellent communication cadence. His technical understanding combined with his market expertise makes Adam undoubtedly one of the best search agency partners I have collaborated with!”  – Former TA Manager @ AkzoNobel Chemical

"Adam has been a great partner supporting business recruiting needs. He has a great talent network and can quickly adapt to changing business needs. My priorities become Adam's priorities, it is a true pleasure to work with him! I look forward to continuing our trusted partnership." – Former HR Director @ Nouryon Chemical

“Adam was instrumental in assisting me in obtaining an excellent offer with a premier chemical manufacturer. He was effective in assessing my experience and background, and interfacing with his client to ensure we had alignment in our search effort. I would consider Adam someone to consider in your career progression plans." – Sr. Executive, Industrial Operations

"Adam exceeded my expectations of a recruiter. Previous experiences with others had been completely transactional - checklists and checkboxes. Adam spent time on the phone with me discussing my skills, my leadership style and my career goals. Based on conversations with the hiring manager, he felt there might be a good fit for the position. However, the hiring manager took a pass on my resume and Adam continued to present other candidates. When the other candidates turned out to not be right for the job, Adam encouraged the hiring manager to take another look at me and we scheduled a phone interview. That phone call led to an onsite interview and a job offer. After six months in the new position, I wholeheartedly recommend Adam Krueger as a recruiter for any professional ready to take the next step in their career." - Site Logistics Manager
