“I have been using Burchard & Associates routinely since 1999, when Steve first placed me, so I have had the benefit of seeing the business from an applicant perspective as well as from an employer perspective. What has struck me as unique about the organization is not just their firm grasp on the Finance & Accounting talent pool of St. Louis, and their deep long-standing Corporate relationships, but their focus on finding the right fit for the applicant and the employer. The folks at Burchard & Associates spend the extra time really getting to the know the talent that they’re placing, as well as getting to know the personality of the organization that is doing the hiring. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better fit for me when Steve first placed me, and I have used Burchard & Associates numerous times since, and have never been disappointed with the skillset or personalities of the hires that I have made through Burchard & Associates.”

“Steve reached out to me about an open position at a period in my life when I was unsure what my next career move should be. It is not an understatement to say that my first phone call with Steve sent me on a trajectory that changed my life for the better in so many ways. During our first conversation he not only did a thorough assessment of my skills and background, but he took the time to really listen to and address my concerns (and I had a lot of them). He didn’t ask questions to check off boxes – he dug deeper to help me figure out what my next move should be and to ensure that the match he made for me with my new employer would be a good fit culturally as well as matching the skills needed.

Steve gave me valuable no-nonsense career guidance and became a trusted advisor very quickly. It was clear that he wanted what was best not only for me but for the company that he matched me with. His goal was to make sure the placement he made was a success for both parties, and I never doubted that he had the best interest of both in mind.
Steve kept me up to date the entire time during the process. He set expectations around the interview process and provided valuable interviewing advice, especially important to me because I had not interviewed in a long time.

Whether you have a specific career goal in mind or you need someone knowledgeable and trustworthy to talk through your next career move, Steve Burchard is your guy.”

“Having been let down by the larger, national recruiters to find suitable candidates, I turned to Burchard & Associates & Steve to recruit our role at senior finance manager level and have since placed two candidates into our organization using his services. Steve has a personalized way of doing business and genuinely seeks to understand the business, the role and the organizations structure to which a candidate would be entering. He used his extensive network to put forward highly capable candidates in a very short timeframe and left us with genuine choices between very good candidates rather than ending up with a least worst option. I would highly recommend Steve and his firm to others to recruit in the St Louis area.”

“Steve and his team at Burchard & Associates do an outstanding job of sourcing top quality talent for us. They do this by taking a strong interest in getting to know our organization and the skills we value, resulting in a highly-refined candidate pool, saving us valuable time in filling our hiring needs.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Steve Burchard and Burchard & Associates, Inc. to find a Controller for our high net wealth family office. Steve’s expertise in successfully recruiting for high-level financial positions is evident throughout the entire process.

Steve toured our facility and took the time to thoroughly understand our unique business and requirements in order to be in a position to find a great fit for our family office. Steve is exceptional at screening candidates and evaluating qualifications, experience, and cultural fit. Throughout the recruitment process, Steve maintained constant communication and provided regular updates and valued feedback. His insights and understanding of our specific requirements helped us make a confident decision, which lead to the placement of an outstanding controller who we believe will seamlessly transition into our family office.

We are confident in recommending Steve to anyone seeking recruitment services for high-level financial and accounting positions. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to understand the unique needs of a high net wealth family office were provided with excellence.”

“Steve Burchard is an exceptional resource in St. Louis for both companies and professionals in their careers. I have collaborated with Steve on a professional search that brought me from Chicago to St. Louis, as well as on a hiring search for Finance talent that I conducted at Exegy. His insights on the market and access to qualified candidates are an invaluable tool for companies in their hiring process.”

“I have worked with many recruiters in my career and was beyond impressed with Steve Burchard. From first contact, he was an attentive listener, asked involved questions and was very understanding of my specific requests in my job search. He found fantastic and diverse opportunities for me to choose from and was supportive throughout the entire process. It was very apparent that he was interested in creating a good match between employee and employer while keeping my wishes at the forefront. The application and interviewing process was enjoyable when working with Steve and his team!”

“Steve has helped the Dover Companies find multiple great additions to our team over the years. Steve took a methodical approach to developing a thorough understanding of our organization and its culture before trying to identify suitable candidates for the first assignment we worked on together. He has since used that backdrop to inform his approach to identifying candidates for each subsequent assignment thereby ensuring we are only meeting candidates that would be a good ‘fit’ rather than spending time on candidates that appear on paper to check a few boxes of a job description. This individualized approach is among the reasons we continue to turn to Steve and his team at Burchard & Associates when seeking to fill key positions.”

“I’ve had the pleasure to work with Burchard & Associates multiple times over my career. During each process, they clearly communicated information about the company and position they were working to fill, and kept me apprised as the search progressed. He took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and made sure that my skills and personality were a good match for what the company was looking for, both in terms of their structure and culture. Steve and his team were great to work with and I would highly recommend them to candidates at any stage in their careers.”

“I was referred to Steve through another recruiting office that I had been in touch with while I was working in Pittsburgh. From the start, it was about what I wanted to do and making sure that I was ultimately happy with my final decision. Steve was always available, day and night, whether via phone or text, and never hesitated to give me a straight and truthful response. I think in this line of business, it is very easy to sugarcoat things, so I truly respected Steve for being so upfront and honest. Steve performed his job with diligence and professionalism, and I am now happily employed in my new role. Not only did Steve go out of his way to make sure I ended up with what I wanted, he also made sure to get to know me. He took time out of his day to meet for lunch, where we spoke about our lives, as well as what I was interested in regarding a new job. It was nice for me to get to know Steve a little bit too, since he was the one searching for my next role. All in all, everything was handled with professionalism, and I am in a new role where I am incredibly happy because of Steve, and I can’t thank him enough.”
