What our Clients say​

​

​

Throughout the years I worked with Janis, she acted as a true partner in meeting deliverables and providing highly experienced candidates for the IT, Quality and Operations departments.  Janis's firm Ash and Associates was retained for over ten years by IVAX Pharmaceutical Corp., to supply both consultants and permanent employees in connection with the conversions, installations, ERP, EDI, Charge Backs/Rebates and many preparatory software. During the acquisition of IVAX Pharmaceutical Corp., by Teva Pharmaceuticals Ash & Associates was again retained to supply both consultants and software support in connection with converting the IVAX systems to Oracle and all sub-systems. Janis also worked closely with our executive team on confidential recruitment projects. I would recommend Janis for any Executive Search assignment.

I have worked with Ms. Buongermino over the years and she has helped my companies fill executive management positions. I am happy to share that Janis conducts her business to a level exceeding the standards of other firms; she will grab the search effort and provides only the best bench of candidates possible. I always enjoyed interviewing candidates she has presented.

FAQ Section

​

​

1. What is the difference between contingency and retained executive search?

​

Retained search is a dedicated, consultative engagement in which a firm is compensated in stages to recruit senior‑level or highly specialized talent. This model emphasizes exclusivity, deep market research, and a high level of partnership throughout the search process.

​

Contingency search operates on a “no placement, no fee” basis, where firms are paid only upon a successful hire. It is typically used for mid‑level, operational, or high‑volume roles and prioritizes speed and broad candidate outreach.

 

In essence, retained search delivers greater strategic commitment and depth, while contingency search offers faster turnaround and lower upfront cost.

​

2. Do you recruit outside Florida?

Yes. Ash and Associates recruits for companies nationwide. While we have extensive expertise in Broward County, South Florida, and the Florida market, our recruiting capabilities extend throughout the United States. We also have experience supporting organizations and candidates internationally.
