What Clients and Candidates Say

Jerry Ditrapani, Board and Search Committee Member, Better Business Bureau of Western Michigan

We could not have done it without HR Collaborative. From your sourcing of candidates to your interview methodology, everything about the process was first class. I think I speak for the entire search committee when I say that HR Collaborative surpassed our expectations!

Eric Steindler, Search Committee Chair and Board Member, Blandford Nature Center

I thought the entire process was well managed. I really liked the ability to review videos and thought Michelle Sullivan, Talent Acquisition Business Partner, did a great job maintaining strong and timely communication. I would definitely recommend HR Collaborative.

Patrick J. Conlin, Board Chair, 5 Healthy Towns

HR Collaborative did a masterful job of leading our search committee through the process of selecting a new CEO.  Given the limitations of COVID planning and our wide-ranging committee, HRC quietly and professionally led us to the finish line. 

HR Collaborative was able to find excellent candidates for the position and orchestrate the process. The committee got the salient points efficiently and in a way that let us move through the search and hire seamlessly and professionally.

Nate Koetje, CEO, Feyen Zylstra

HRC was a good fit for us because they hit the ground running. I found their process to be complete and well-thought-out.  What I appreciated is their willingness to look at what our expectations were and what we needed for our business, versus them telling me what I needed.

Christine Mwangi, Founder & President, Be a Rose

I had an extremely good interview with HR Collaborative in what was an Executive Director search. From the email correspondence that was extremely detailed and contained a lot of detailed information about the role to the actual phone interview, Michelle Sullivan at HR Collaborative ensured my comfort during the entire interview process. During the phone interview, I was very impressed with the intentionality that she took to read my application materials and ask questions that allowed me to highlight my experiences in unique and inclusive manners. I truly felt that I could be myself and shine at that moment. It is by far one of the most comfortable and professionally executed interviews I have had in my career.
