In this ever changing and challenging time during and post-pandemic, recruitment for senior leadership this is something that I do not have the in-house expertise or time to pursue. In addition to making the process painless and efficient, Nelson/Kraft captured the culture of our organization and leadership team. I am more than pleased with the outcome and now have a strong, thriving leadership team because of their help.”
