"At the beginning, I remember saying to myself, all search firms are the same, over promising and under delivering. I have dealt with a large number of search firms over almost 30 years and have never received this kind of service. It’s just been fantastic from start to finish."

SVP, CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER, ACADIA REALTY TRUST
“BarkerGilmore provided everything I could have asked for in a search consultant: personable, knowledgeable, diligent, and someone who acted as an advocate and friend. Through his outstanding help, I was able to obtain an in-house position that fit my skills and interests perfectly. I highly recommend BarkerGilmore.”
