Client Testimonials About
Red Oak Executive Search

“Greg is absolutely exceptional at his profession. A mutual connection offered to put me in touch with him for an opportunity of his she reshared on LinkedIn. In less than 24 hours, Greg reached out to start the conversation. He was polite, transparent, and helpful every step of the way. From providing (many) pointers to craft a stronger resume for the position and reviewing thank you emails, to offering pre interview prep calls and post-interview debriefs, Greg made me feel heard and supported every step of the way. If you’re serious about finding a new position, I highly recommend working with Greg.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Greg Dubas during my recent executive job search, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most insightful and dedicated professionals I’ve encountered. As this was my first experience working with an executive recruiter, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but Greg set the bar exceptionally high.

Greg has a rare ability to understand both the needs of the organization and the strengths of the candidate, creating a thoughtful and strategic alignment between the two. Throughout the process, he was an invaluable guide—transparent, communicative, and always available to answer questions or offer perspective. His deep experience and calm professionalism helped me navigate every stage of the interview process with confidence.

Thanks to Greg’s guidance, I recently stepped into a new executive leadership role that aligns beautifully with my values, experience, and long-term goals. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to any organization seeking a recruiter who not only delivers results but also builds trust and relationships that last.”

“Having known Greg professionally for nearly 20 years and having worked with him several times as both a candidate and a client, he was the first and only call I made when I needed to contract a recruiter to assist with a recent search for my firm. In the crowded world of healthcare communications recruiters, Greg has always stood out as someone who truly understands the business, and – importantly – can dissect the specific needs of the agency and team, in order to find the right candidate to fill the role. I reached out to Greg at the beginning of October 2024 to help with a search that had been going on for months. Even though we were looking for a bit of a unicorn, Greg took on the challenge. The first thing he did was help my team and I to recalibrate our expectations as to what we could find, and then he helped us prioritize our needs, so that he could focus his search on what skills and attributes of a candidate were most important to the success of the role. Within 48 hours, I had multiple candidate resumes in my inbox to review, and in the coming days, Greg leveraged his network to provide even more candidates to choose from; and each one had the majority of specific skills and experiences our team needed. Greg also works closely with his candidates to ensure they understand the role, the company, and the individual with whom they’re interviewing. It was clear to me that, upon meeting these candidates for the first time, that they had been well-prepared for the discussion. I’m thrilled to say that in the span of just a few weeks, my team went from having zero viable candidates, to being able to choose from several qualified people, and ultimately extending an offer to a candidate whom we otherwise would not have found, had we not brought Greg in to lead this challenging search. One thing I’ve learned in more than two decades in the healthcare communications industry is that it’s imperative to know a trustworthy recruiter who understands an agency’s challenges and can efficiently find the solution. If you’re an HR leader at a communications agency or in-house, I highly recommend Greg for your external recruiting efforts. If you’re a candidate, definitely network with Greg, and if you’re a hiring manager, absolutely consider him to lead your next search.”
