Client Testimonies
Our clients’ success is our greatest measure of impact. See what partners across industries have to say about working with us and the results we’ve helped them achieve.
I have been working with Rob Koven and the Hire Authority for 12 years now on an almost exclusive basis. They have placed more than two dozen managerial and senior managerial level employees for us, ranging from sales, to HR to finance. We have had great success with their team and they have always been fair and reasonable with their fees.
I consider Rob a friend and confidant.

Mark V., CEO Morris Mountaineer Oil and Gas and VanKirk, LLC
In my professional path at Price Waterhouse Cooper, Goldman Sachs, Fannie Mae, HUD and as the CEO of mid-size Oil and Gas company, I typically do not give endorsements or testimonials of any type.
This is the exceptions to the rule.
Robert Koven (“Rob”) and the Higher Authority, Inc. are candidly outstanding in the services of human capital recruitment across broad spectrum of industries as well as positions from the C-Suite positions to Administrative Assistants.
There are four major areas that are the true reflection of how excellent Rob and his are in their pursuit for the right human capital for you.
First, Rob has shown the absolute distinct ability to work well in multiple industry disciplines ranging from commercial real estate, accounting, investment banking, government to oil and gas.
I know he is also experienced with government contracting, construction, startup beverage, wholesale and manufacturing and much more.
Second, The Higher Authority Inc. under the direction of Rob can very comfortably fill the most difficult niche positions, that normal or traditional human capital firms do not pursue.
Resourcefulness is a key ingredient for The Higher Authority, Inc. Team. For example, he has found industry specific talent for me, such as oil and gas abstractors and landmen, or multifamily underwriters and closers, in addition to CFOs and Sales Directors which are more in line with his other client base.
Third, Rob’s legal training, education and background has been a major attribute to ensuring the discretion, confidentiality and diplomacy, high level searches often require.
Fourth, his extensive legal background has also given him the ability to handle the most difficult and demanding management positions as well as ensuring the best negotiation for all parties involved.
I wholeheartedly would encourage you to engage their services for any of your recruitment needs.
Dana M., President, Washington Management Services, Inc.
The Hire Authority and Rob Koven specifically have been vital to the growth of our company. Several of our most valued employees were sourced and screened by Rob. His firm is responsive, knowledgeable, and wonderful to work with.
Omar P., CEO, Coast- to - Coast Capital
Rob Koven and the rest of his team at The Hire Authority are true search professionals. They have consistently provided high level candidates that meet our strict requirements. I am always impressed how quickly Rob jumps I to provide support. He strives to develop strong relationships with us that enable him to develop a deep understanding of our needs. This saves us time and more importantly cost as we can fill our open positions faster. Additionally , we attract the right candidates to our company, leading to more permanent long term solutions. I would highly recommend to anyone that is looing for help in finding finance and accounting talent to give Rob a call. In addition to super service, you are assured your needs are met.
Rob, at The Hire Authority, recommended a sales person for my team. His insight and expertise were right on the money and proved to be quite a help in our decision-making process. I would recommend their services to any company that wants to grow and hire quality sales people.

Stephen A., CFO . Construction Govcon
I’ve worked with The Hire Authority for over 20 years, initially as a candidate and eventually as a client. As a former CFO of an International Construction Company, I had very specific needs, and my candidate profile was not always easy to find. Their strength is not only getting to know the technical job requirements, but the Company culture. They were always able to provide candidates that were more than just accounting and finance experts, but also fit from a personality standpoint which is crucial. The Hire Authority will not disappoint!!!
Joseph E., CFO, Evolution Cloud Services, Inc.
I have been a client of The Hire Authority for almost 20 years now, and recruited both accounting and operations candidates through his firm. They truly get to know and understand their clients. They quickly gain a read of the Company’s culture and seek candidates that go beyond just a skill set match. I’ve learned to trust their judgement when it comes to candidates and they have saved me countless hours in the hiring process. I hire better people because of The Hire Authority.
Atanas S., Controller, Oceanpro Industries
I’ve worked with Rob Koven and The Hire Authority for quite a few years. They are valuable people to know. I have utilized their expertise in two ways. First for assistance in finding a senior level finance position for myself. Second, as a client who is very pleased with the strong candidates he provides and his ability to save me valuable time in the hiring process. Bottom Line: their knowledge of the market and impressive network is well worth utilizing for any accounting and finance professional.
Ryan M., Sales Manager, 95 Traffic Safety
Rob is more than a recruiter—he’s been a mentor and a friend throughout my career. He’s placed me multiple times, including the company I’m with today, where I’ve been able to grow and find something I’m truly passionate about.
Nick C., Landman and Sales, T&B Mountaineer
Working with The Hire Authority was a great experience. Rob Koven and his team are top notch people who went out of their way to find a role that is fulfilling beyond the typical 9-5. I haven't seen any other agency follow through with their placements and ensure that the employee and employer are both satisfied, but Rob does it all!
Isaiah W., Air Export Operations Specialist, GTS Group
Working with Rob Koven and the Hire Authority was an amazing experience. He was transparent, efficient and informative. He was able to match me with an opportunity that has drastically changed my life for the better. The process was smooth and he kept me in the loop every step of the way. He also continued communication after the placement to check in on how things were going. I would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for results. The post placement lunch was also a great bonus!
