Clients and Placements

“Jim is truly a partner!  He treats the relationship as a member of the team – and his approach and results are a function of that attitude.  Jim works hard to understand the unique cultural and functional needs of his clients – and genuinely takes a long-term view of the relationship.  I would definitely recommend Jim for any level of executive search.  We are proud Jim is part of our extended Team.”   Ned Lidvall
CEO/President, Eat Here Brands
