Your team was awesome. You thoroughly understood the role and the company he presented me to. You were always available and quick to find answers for me. It’s not easy to come by great executive recruiters and you are definitely one of the best!

Your team really listened to our needs and probed when things weren’t clear or consistent. You also suggested changes to our process which ended up working better for us.

Talentfoot has a deep understanding of the marketing needs of today's business environment, identify great candidates, assess their capabilities and follow-up to finalize the search.

Your team listened very carefully to our brief, and provided us only with candidates who are highly qualified and highly motivated. You didn’t just throw a bunch of names in our face and make us do the work. We were very satisfied with the candidates we interviewed and ultimately thrilled with the one we have hired.

Talentfoot and Patrick spent the time to learn about our organization, our wants, our needs, and our weaknesses, helped shape the search criteria, and gave real feedback on the candidates you produced. Other firms should be embarrassed. They are poseurs compared to our experience with Talentfoot.

We were very pleased with Talentfoot’s work on the search, with many extremely high-caliber candidates to evaluate and work through throughout the process. The team did a great job of telling our story to build and maintain candidate interest and moved the process forward efficiently. We are thrilled to have our first choice candidate come on board.
