“After nearly a year of unsuccessfully recruiting for the leader of our Marketing and Communications department, I called Michelle, and by the time that conversation ended, I regretted not reaching out to McCormack + Kristel sooner! Michelle and her team drafted a dynamic job description that was grounded in the input collected by stakeholders throughout the organization within a few weeks of the engagement starting and shortly thereafter I was presented with an exciting slate of candidates for the Chief Marketing and Communications Officer role. McCormack + Kristel facilitated a thoughtful and inclusive interview process that ultimately resulted in the selection of an exceptional candidate who the Center likely would have never found if we continued to recruit for the role on our own. While I was highly satisfied throughout my working with McCormack + Kristel, what stands out most about the experience was the genuine thought partner I had in Michelle. She asked all the right questions, wasn’t afraid to offer constructive feedback, and was open to shifting the process when it became necessary. I would absolutely partner with McCormack + Kristel again!”
