"I have had the pleasure to work with Frank Owens over the past twenty years in his capacity of executive recruiter. As Meritage Homes has grown to be one of the Top 12 public home builders in the country, Frank's contribution to building our team has been invaluable. He is a pleasure to work with and consistently operates at the highest levels of professionalism with a real regard to quality."

"I have known and worked with Frank Owens for over 20 years. Not only does Frank know the people and the companies in his chosen markets, he knows how to make great matches. Additionally, he has always taken the long-term approach. If he can’t recruit a quality candidate that he believes will be a good long-term fit, he will tell you. That hasn’t always been my experience with other executive recruiters in our business. Most importantly, Frank always conducts his business with the highest levels of integrity and confidentiality."

"Frank performed a search for me for a high level position in the homebuilding industry. I was very impressed with the relationships he has throughout the industry. I found that Frank focused on the need for a “cultural fit” when trying to find the right candidate. He took the time to understand the personality of the candidates and the specific requirements of the job. He only recommended individuals that he truly believed would be the right match. His assessments were right on. He provided an invaluable service."

"By far, one of the best executive recruiters that I have worked with in the past 20 years, Frank Owens is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced search professional. A specialist in addressing the management needs of the Homebuilding industry, Frank’s extensive contacts and emphasis on relationship building allow him to tailor the searches that he conducts to the individual requirements of each position. The dedication and commitment that he brings to his assignments are also extraordinary. But perhaps Frank’s most important attribute is his ability to listen carefully to both client and candidate and to assess the unique needs of each. The result, in my experience, is a far higher level of satisfaction for the Company and a truer fit between the candidate and the job."

"The Phoenix home building market is now the largest in the nation. Every month, every quarter, every year, our market seemingly rises to another level. The record growth has provided record sales, deliveries and earnings. As well, the growth has created some of the largest home building enterprises in the country (approximately 10 builders delivered over 2000 homes in 2005). While the market is raging with activity, this brings many challenges.
Certainly, one of the most significant challenges is finding skilled and talented people. When faced with the dilemma of having to recruit key managers, I have relied on the expertise of Frank Owens. Frank has been active in the Phoenix market in excess of 20 years. His recruiting activities have contributed to the success of many of the largest home builders in America. Over the past 10 years I have worked with Frank to fill a variety of positions, including a CFO, Vice President of Construction, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Land Development Managers. Frank has recruited talent for me in Florida and Arizona. He has extensive experience in Southern California and Las Vegas.
I respect his instincts and trust his opinions when judging potential candidates. He has demonstrated a unique ability to match potential talent with sensititive operational cultures, a critical element in finding the right people. When searching for talent, Frank's relationships are leveraged to obtain necessary networking opportunities. I am thankful for Frank's support over the years, and will always recommend Frank's services to any home building or development professional."

"Frank Owens is simply the most effective recruiter in the business. For nearly 25 years I have been recommending Frank Owens, for one reason and one reason only, no one is better at finding the "right" candidate than Frank. When you're in the business of marketing and implementing high performance business strategies upgrading personnel is part of the process and no one executes that process better than Frank."
