Kevin Jacques – Partner, Sevin Rosen Funds
Scott has conducted several searches for Sevin Rosen Funds portfolio companies over the past two years. In every case, he's done an outstanding job. I recommend Scott to our portfolio companies for several reasons.

• Results - Scott's upfront investment in crafting a precise specification, tailored to the needs of the company, have produced outstanding results and strong candidate fit.
• Methodology – Scott’s methodology and efforts have almost always led to our companies gaining a richer understanding of their market and competition. This alone has been well worth the investment.
• Domain experience – Scott and his team have proven software marketing and sales expertise.
• Dedication - Scott and his partners have always remained committed to finishing the search, no matter how difficult.

Ross Cockrell – Partner, Austin Ventures
We've used Scott for a number of searches in the past and have always been pleased with the quality of his work. He's professional, capable, thorough, and most importantly, experienced and knowledgeable about the unique aspects of working with early-stage technology companies.

Scott Collier – Managing Director, Triton Ventures
Our CEO search demanded that the search team understand the substantial value of our complex product and then quickly get candidates excited about the opportunity without a lengthy process. Scott and his team convinced us that they could deliver and did so within the expected timeframe.

Jim Armstrong – General Partner, Clearstone Venture Partners
In working with Scott, I had a terrific experience that resulted in the hiring of several capable members of portfolio companies. I recall one super effort where I wanted to familiarize myself with what sales people in a particular tech sector were like, and Scott invited me to participate actively in the funnel process. Scott met me in NY, completely organized a whole productive day for me in one location, and together we interviewed 7 candidates over 10 hours back to back. Scott had prepared me on each candidate and was prepared himself on their strengths and weaknesses and also was able to crystallize the information for me. In one day, with Scott’s help, I was able to formulate a much more educated opinion about an industry important to my portfolio company. Scott is a go to guy in executive search and very client focused.

Avery More – CEO, TruLogica
An executive recruiter is the face of your company to any prospective talent. Scott is a face that I would be very comfortable putting up for any high tech company with which I am involved. Scott brings knowledge of technology (he took the time to learn ours), people skills, professionalism and project management capabilities to any search. At the end of the day it is up to the company to put up an attractive enough value proposition to attract the right people - Scott will make sure that you have the right people to talk to.

Bob Jewell – CEO, Altio
We retained Scott and his team to fill a VP Marketing position at Altio, a Boston-based startup. Scott did an outstanding job on a very demanding search. We were looking for a proven marketing executive with a unique set of skills - experience with application servers and experience with front-end GUI-based development tools. We found an excellent candidate who met our spec in the local Boston market. Scott and his team did a great job of identifying on-target candidates, managing the overall search process, and helping close our first-choice candidate.

Douglas Kay – Chairman, Mondo Media
We were looking for a rather unique set of qualifications for a position, during a time when competition for talent was pretty fierce. Scott stuck with us until we found someone to whom we were willing to make an offer. Then, when we were down to just one final deal point with our candidate, but couldn’t seem to come to terms, Scott advised us to hold the line, knowing that if we didn’t hire this candidate, he’d be back to square one on the search. Scott felt that if the candidate wasn’t willing to budge on this point, it spoke to greater issues, and it would be in our best long-term interest to walk away. I really appreciated his willingness to put aside his own interests and insure that we ended up with the best person for our company. It didn’t work out with that candidate, but Scott was able to come up with a new candidate shortly thereafter who worked out great. That experience really solidified what was already a very positive evaluation I had of Scott and his work.

Vic Mahadevan – CEO, MaXXan
Scott did an excellent job for us on our VP Sales search at MaXXan. Scott’s strong technology background combined with his recruiting skills enabled him to attract the interest of extraordinarily well-qualified candidates – no small feat given that our product was still in development and the market for our technology was still nascent. Not only were Scott and his team competent, but they were a pleasure to work with.

Tom Elliott – VP Human Resources, Zynerji
Scott is one of the most professional search consultants we have ever worked with. He is always available, follows up religiously, meets deadlines, and has a keen insight into candidates' strengths and weaknesses.

Brian Helman – CFO, NEON Systems
We recently used Whiterock Partners for our VP Sales search. Whiterock understood NEON’s story and value, quickly identified numerous qualified candidates, and got them excited about the opportunity. We found their weekly written status reports to be well organized and useful, and their candidate reference checks to be very thorough and insightful. Overall, we were very happy with the process and results, and would use them again.

Gary M. Cadenhead, Ph.D. - MOOT CORP Director and Chairman of Search Committee, The University of Texas at Austin
In my capacity as Chairman of the Search Committee, I found Scott Uhrig's contributions invaluable. Scott found candidates for our committee, helped screen the leads that we generated, and skillfully questioned our finalists. The candidate selected has been outstanding.
