Unfortunately, this complaint is inaccurate and unwarranted. Personally, I have used career management services like the Barrett Group (including the Barrett Group) five times. There is a very simple principle affecting client success: if you (the client) do the required work, you will very likely have a positive outcome. If you do not, you probably will not be successful. For thirty years now we always explain to our clients, You have to move your feet. As of mid-June 2020, despite the current pandemic, 38 of our clients have landed executive jobs in the past 10 weeks because they moved their feet. Read their stories on The Hiring Line (https://www.careerchange.com/hiring-line/). We have helped thousands of executives clarify their career objectives and then obtain the job of their choice usually at an increased compensation level. Read their stories here: https://www.careerchange.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/TBG-customer-reviews-success-cases_US.pdf Even now, we are happy to reengage with this client if he will do the required work. Sincerely, Peter Irish The Barrett Group

I worked with the Barrett Group for over a year BL: they are an amateur recruiting service trying to pose as a career coach with little follow through and no accountability. Terrible ROI; I personally encourage you to go elsewhere
For thirty years the Barrett Group has helped executive clients clarify their career objectives and find the job of their choice. We have helped thousands reignite their careers. Here are a few quotes from recently landed clients: If I didnt have The Barrett Group, Id probably still be looking for a state superintendent job somewhere. This transition is exactly what I needed. The Barrett Group has done a phenomenal job for me. [David Ludwig, 2021 - https://www.careerchange.com/success-studies/] "Im so appreciative of George and The Barrett Group for what theyve done for me. With their help, I was able to land two jobs within 12 months. Their program works the proof is in the pudding! [Bob Meara, 2020 & 2021 - https://www.careerchange.com/success-studies/] Having a consistent coach was really helpful. And it was clear to me that all the people at The Barrett Group really wanted me to succeed. [Elfrieda, 2021 - https://www.careerchange.com/success-studies/] Our process requires that clients invest time and follow the process to succeed. Some 90% of those who follow our guidance land their desired jobs within 6 to 12 months. Those who are not willing to put in the work will either take longer to land or simply not succeed at all. We publish the successes our clients enjoy every week on our Hiring Line website [https://www.careerchange.com/hiring-line/]. Read about the hundreds of interviews, offers, and landings we help clients achieve every year, or better yet, join them and become a successful career changer yourself.

I have read the fantastic reviews of this Company, but my personal experience was nothing alike. I retained TBG over a year ago, months before the Covid pandemic. They took a large deposit and we agreed to one of their sponsored packages. We began with the career coaching part which was outsourced and totally worthless, with an absolute junior individual that didn't really understand what she was doing. TBG staff itself is very professional, but they were not timely in responses or communications, did not put in the effort that was expected or agreed upon, and ultimately, we cancelled the agreement. Or I tried to. They had taken a very sizable deposit from me and did not return it, or even a portion of it; fought credit card chargebacks, etc...but ultimately stopped servicing me and ended the communications due to lack of performance. Today, a year later, a member of their team is sending me a message congratulating me on a position and asking for their fees. SMH.
Ronica, thank you for sharing about your experience and the connection you made with your coach. We consider it an honor to help professionals like you find the right career fit, and enjoy hearing about your success!

Thank you so very much to the entire team at TBG for the time and effort that you and others put into my career transition. In particular, I would like to thank my Executive Career Consultant, who has been an exceptional career coach and guide, and has helped in greatly not only in my job search but as an overall career professional. He was truly knowledgeable about the job market (especially in the technology field), including avenues and strategies for job search and interviewing and negotiation techniques. He helped me give my best effort in multiple interviews. He also has a friendly and considerate personality, which are ideal traits for a career coach. Would surely like to work with him as my career coach in the future too, and I will surely consider the Barrett Group for my future career needs and hope we get a chance to work together in the future.
Marcel, we are glad you reached out to us and invited us to be a part of your career journey. Its great to hear about your interview and negotiation experiences. We wish you the best as you continue to succeed!

Ive been profoundly grateful for the opportunity to benefit and learn from the Barrett Groups expertise and appreciated the direction they provided. Many structural developments at my former employer told me that it was time to look for an organization where I would be able to make a difference. The initial Clarity program helped me to further focus on what I wanted and needed from my career change. Then, during my interviewing process, I always felt very prepared top rating for their prep material and coaching. Honestly, my interviews could not have gone any better! It didnt take very long to receive my first offer, and as it was exactly the opportunity to grow and at a total comp that I desired, I accepted. Thank you once more for working with me through this journey.
The Barrett Group can look back with satisfaction at 99 clients who landed exective roles in the last 13 weeks as of the end of January 2022, hundreds of clients who landed during 2021, and literally thousands that have landed in the past 30 years of our operation. For a second subsequent year Forbes magazine (https://www.careerchange.com/when-is-a-recruiter-not-a-recruiter/) has independently recognized us as one of the best in the business in the US. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and every week we publish specific results about clients who have either had interviews, received offers, and/or landed roles on our Front Line Report (https://www.careerchange.com/hiring-line/). Our website is replete with named clients telling their Success Stories (https://www.careerchange.com/success-studies/). What these successful clients all have in common is that they are willing to do the work required to achieve success through our tried and true methodology.

Absolutely not worth the money. They over promise and under deliver at every step along the way. While they produced the deliverables they said that they would, the quality of the deliverables were subpar and didnt add value to finding a new job. I also wouldnt trust the statistics they quote about placement, as I was never even contacted to see if Id found a new job so theres no way that they sucess percentages can be accurate. Stay away from this company
