Client Feedback
"Bob was great for many reasons. Our company has been rapidly growing over the past 2 years and Bob has helped us go from a 4-person company to over 20 people in short succession. He was able to adapt quickly to feedback and provide thoughtful advice to help us find the "right" talent we needed to establish our core team. We have very specific criteria we look for both from a cultural and behavioral fit for the roles Bob helped us fill. Despite these requirements and the present state of the job market, Bob was great at being able to adapt and help fill many key roles in our organization. We have successfully hired some great talent as a result of Bob's help, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone looking to bring on people during these challenging times. We tremendously appreciate all of his help and hard work!"
