DIRECTOR, ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AMPHENOL
“In choosing a search firm, our criteria were quality and diversity of candidates, responsiveness, communication, sense of urgency, and focus on the client. We also wanted a firm that would represent us well — not just the candidate. I did extensive interviews with five search firms – including the large global ones — and then spoke with client references before choosing BarkerGilmore. They’ve exceeded my expectations. And I would use them again in a minute.”
