What People Are Saying
“Mellie, you have always been a master at evaluating talent and personality. I was desperate for someone who could cut through and deliver. I knew you could do that for me! I’m so proud of you and your group. In today’s environment, it’s people like you that deliver in a desperate situation.”
— Laura Beagle, Corporate Controller, NGP Energy Capital Management
“Over the past year, we have used Mellie’s services to obtain several quality candidates and successful hires for several positions for our organization and an affiliate organization. One of the key attributes that Mellie brings to the table is that she “gets it”. She understands our business, our culture and what type of candidates will make a perfect fit for our organization. Our hires through Mellie have been exactly that, perfect fits for our organization. The individuals have been able to not just fill their respective outlined roles and expectations, but exceed them. We look forward to our continued relationship with Mellie.”
—Jill Lampert, CFO/CAO, NGP Energy Capital Management
“The MGM Advisory Services team was professional, friendly and kept me informed at all times. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you! They have been equally terrific and wonderful to work with during this process. I am truly grateful for this employment opportunity. The boutique style service they offer is unmatched in the industry. MGM Advisory Services will definitely receive my highest recommendation in the future.”
— Sharon Setzler, Executive Assistant
“Mellie provided a very effective solution to Probity Electronics that was cost efficient for us both in recruiting needs and eventually by leading our HR department. We found ourselves without an HR professional, and she seamlessly stepped into that role. Mellie handled the HR Manager role in a professional manner and with great skill. I’ve found my association with Mellie to be very enjoyable and profitable. We have continued our professional relationship since 2004, and I look forward to having an opportunity to work with her again in the near future!”
— Bret Burdette, CFO, Probity Electronics
“I have known Mellie professionally, and personally, for almost 20 years. We worked at Arthur Andersen and Grant Thornton together. She now heads up an advisory services firm that, among other things, provides recruiting services in the Accounting & Finance space. Mellie’s reputation is everything to her. She works hard to understand what her clients need and only presents candidates that she thinks are a great fit. Her fees are very competitive, and, perhaps best of all, she will not repeatedly call you!”
— Jim Forson, Senior Vice President Finance, 7-Eleven
“MGM Advisory Services did a terrific job in helping us identify and hire a new Controller for our firm, accomplishing the task in an accelerated time frame. We particularly appreciated the job Mellie did pre-qualifying candidates and including a brief summary of her thoughts (both positive and negative) on each candidate she put forward for us to interview. I have never seen a recruiter do such a thorough job of diligence on potential candidates. We found Mellie to be attentive and communicative, keeping us informed throughout the recruitment process. We are extremely pleased with our newest addition to the firm and would not hesitate to use Mellie again for any staffing needs.”
— Jim Wilson, Partner & CFO, New Mainstream Capital
“Mellie and her team have done a terrific job in assisting me with both recruiting for my department and the implementation of our virtual card payment program. On the recruiting side, Mellie’s company has provided me with the most tailored approach I have seen to date; taking my needs and applying those as benchmarks for the candidates’ pre-screening process. Mellie and her team truly took their time in understanding what I needed and wanted from candidates. MGM is my number one choice for accounting and finance recruiting services. Mellie and her team also assisted me in connecting with COMDATA for my company’s virtual card payment program. Through this relationship, we were able to drive higher rebates than our existing banking relationship or comparable offerings. Within 3 months from implementation of the program, we were already achieving strong savings to the bottom-line. What can I say – simply the best service possible is what you should expect with Mellie and her team. Mellie and her team are the best at taking most of the burden away from my company as it comes to recruiting, and only presenting candidates that will meet my baseline demands.”
