The Heller Search team could not have been more effective.

From the first meeting, they understood our talent needs, promised (and delivered) top candidates in the timeframe specified. I will continue to sing their praises.

As an HR professional, I was very impressed with how Heller Search respected our process and the role of Talent Acquisition.

Search firms can attempt to bypass HR, but the Heller Search team were very much partners to all our key stakeholders.
