Why Our Clients Choose Us for Executive Searches
Patrick C., Board Chair
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.
Christine M., Founder & President
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, HR Collaborative ensured my comfort during the entire interview process. During the phone interview, I was very impressed with the intentionality that they took to read my application materials and ask questions that allowed me to highlight my experiences in a unique and inclusive manner. 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.
Jerry D., Board and Search Committee Member
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 S., Search Committee Chair and Board Member
I thought the entire process was well managed. I really liked the ability to review videos and thought our Talent Acquisition Business Partner did a great job maintaining strong and timely communication. I would definitely recommend HR Collaborative.
