John has been a very valuable resource to the portfolio companies in the Foundation Capital and Celesta Capital organizations. Working with our portfolio companies we have engaged his services multiple times over a two decade timeframe. Across multiple engagements he has delivered quality candidates on a timely basis. He continues to have a strong rolodex of senior sales and marketing executives. Should you have a search that involves sourcing senior sales or marketing executives I would strongly recommend engaging with John at OakPoint.

I’ve worked with John on multiples sales executive hiring projects. He’s extremely well connected, knowledgable, and very professional. As a hiring manager, he was able to quickly understand the requirements and find multiple candidates that were a great fit. He properly managed expectations on all sides and expertly guided the negotiations to a successful close. I highly recommend John if you’re a sales executive looking for a new opportunity and to all CEOs and CROs looking to staff their teams with the best possible talent.

I have had and still have the pleasure of being a client of John. John is an amazing and professional recruiter with the highest degree of integrity, skill and insight. John is a true partner for the hiring journey and will constantly look for the optimal match between the candidate and the company. I would highly recommend working with John for every job assignment.

I have known John for many years, first as a sales manager and then as a recruiter. John manages the recruitment process as well as anyone I have worked with in the past. He makes sure the candidate is prepared and informed as well as briefing the hiring managers on the relevant strengths and weaknesses of the candidates. He is comfortable at the CEO and often provides consultative advice on hiring practices. His follow-up and attention to detail is amazing. He can virtually take on any search challenge and find the right person for a given role.

“There are many “executive recruiters” in the U.S., but few with the broad experience and success as John Calamia. John is more of a consultant, as he takes the time to understand our business. By Oak Point Consulting taking time to understand our needs and each candidate’s background, that translates into time and dollars saved. I have engaged Oak Points’ services at my last two companies which resulted in hiring a top-notch V.P. of Sales and a top producing sales executive.”
