Brian Gilbert, Csam Email & Phone Number

Dallas/Fort Worth Area

The Jacob Group, an executive search firm, was established in 1992 and is comprised of several major practice areas: Travel, Oil & Gas, Retail/Restaurants, HR, Finance, Sales & Marketing, Technology, Banking, and Manufacturing/Engineering. A few things that our clients tell us that make us different from the average search firm are: Our depth of resources- The Jacob Group is comprised of 25 industry professionals. This number provides a depth of professionals that is larger than over 90% of the search firms in business today. Our process - We are committed to Direct Sourcing to ensure we find the best talent, most qualified candidates to fill the staffing needs of our clients. Our Focus - We don't try to be all things to all people; but rather develop fewer more meaningful relationships with our clients across all functional areas; this results in fewer "off limits" restrictions and enables us to "fish" where our clients want.

I find talent for corporate travel managment companies on a national basis, placing sales, operations, account management and technology individuals. I have 20+ years experience in working with the best firms in travel managment.________________________________________Here is the experience of one noted client:In my position as President of Travelocity Business, I have had the pleasure of working with Brian Gilbert of Sales Consultants of Dallas since January, 2004. He is the recruiter who staffed virtually all of our outside sales team and he also helped us source the senior account manager for our largest account (200 million dollars). The sales team he helped us build took us from a start-up in late 2003 to the approximately billion dollar gross travel sales organization that Travelocity Business is today, less than 4 years later.Brian took the time to interview key people in our organization to determine what would be the best type of candidate to fit our culture, industry knowledge and capability requirements. His insight into our company, goals and objectives enabled him to find and land 10 competent sales people and the aforementioned account manager. Two of his sales people were promoted to director positions to help manage our growing sales organization.I would strongly recommend Brian and Sales Consultants of Dallas to anyone in the travel or travel-related business for their recruiting needs. Brian has been the corporate travel industry’s leading recruiter for the past 20 years and one of the benefits of that as a client is that he never wasted our time presenting candidates that didn’t meet our requirements. The other benefit of working with Brian is that we always had a good time -- and we knew that we could trust him with the growth of Travelocity Business.
