“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.”

“We retained Burchard & Associates for a critical senior level position.  We knew our expectations for this search were high.  Steve and his team did a great job.  Early on he listened to our needs, asked great questions and provided insights into how to best to conduct the search.  Their communication and attention to detail during the process, from start to finish, was excellent – I was never wondering where we were in the process.  The search was successful and we have since onboarded our new executive.  We could not have been any more satisfied.  I would unconditionally recommend Burchard & Associates to anyone needing executive level finance and accounting talent.  Should the need arise, we would certainly use them again ourselves.”
