hired Morgan as a Consulting Partners in 2005, and hired Morgan more than once
“I recently asked Morgan to help me recruit a senior level individual with diverse skills, a unique background, and a willingness to get involved in a high risk / high reward early stage venture. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would probably have to lower the requirements, but wouldn’t you know it – Morgan set up interviews with not just one but four perfect candidates.
If he’s this good on the “impossible” assignments, imagine how he performs on the easy ones.” June 25, 2008

“Morgan has always been a professional when contacting me to inquire of any staffing needs I may have, as well as informing me of top talent he is representing. I was extremely happy for Morgan when I learned he was starting up Torrey and Gray. I highly recommend Morgan to represent you as an employer for staffing needs you may have in accounting/finance. I would also highly recommend Morgan to represent you as an individual should you be looking for a recruiter—he will look out for YOUR best interests, not his!” June 27, 2008

Darris Hess, Consultant, Elgin National Industries, Inc.
was with another company when working with Joseph at Torrey & Gray
“I engaged Joe Robb to help me with a very challenging assignment – filling a key financial management position in rural South Dakota. Joe found us a quality candidate who closely matched our position requirements. In addition he found a candidate who was local and did not need to relocate, she was able to begin employment two weeks after hiring. The search, recruitment and hiring process was both efficient and effective. I was also impressed by Joe’s attention to detail and professionalism; he has followed up to make sure the transition was going smoothly. I would recommend Joe and Torrey and Gray to others looking to fill key financial management positions.” November 6, 2010
