“I have worked on many retained searches and was particularly impressed partnering with Janet and her talented team for our Head of Talent search.

In addition to their in-depth industry knowledge, strong understanding of our business, and excellent pulse on the market, they really set themselves apart by providing a strong structure for the role and framework for the assessment process, which allowed us to align and arrive at a tremendous candidate quickly.”

“HR Search Experts stands apart in a crowded market of executive search firms.

I have spent over seven figures on retained searches throughout my career, working with large, global firms and boutique firms, as well as managed in-house searches, and have found many experiences lacking in value and adding more work than helping. Janet and her team's world-class consultative approach, transparency, sense of urgency, and incredible talent network changed how I perceive executive search.”

"I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Janet on multiple people leadership searches over the years. Her recent partnership in helping me identify a talented VP of Total Rewards & People Ops did not fall short of expectations in a highly competitive and challenging market.

Successfully working across multiple geographic areas, she was instrumental in helping me hire an experienced leader in NYC who was adept at solving similar problems for this critical role. Her consultative approach, efficiency, and hands-on experience across all functional areas of people sets her apart. Her integrity and hustle has made her a valuable partner, and I anticipate continuing our work together for years to come.”

"I absolutely loved working with Janet and her team to hire Skilljar’s first VP of People.

They listened carefully, provided a steady stream of quality candidates, were proactive, gave very structured updates, and were overall a delight to partner with in a challenging talent market. I am extraordinarily happy with the end result and would work with them again in a heartbeat!"

"I engaged Janet on a particularly critical search while working at a startup. I needed to find a really strong talent to lead our Recruiting function –

a very difficult search in Silicon Valley, given the competitiveness for this type of function. Janet was tremendously diligent, thoughtful, responsive, focused, and steadfast. She really “led” the search – not just managed it. Janet is that rare talent in the search industry who can advocate for the client and with the client. I needed help narrowing the search and Janet delivered. I needed help surfacing the absolute best talent in Silicon Valley and Janet delivered. She really represented us strongly, pitched extremely well, and helped us arrive at the absolute right person for the role. I would recommend Janet highly for senior HR & Recruiting talent searches in the technology space."

"I started working with Janet in 2015 as I began to build out the PeopleOps function, from the ground up, at NerdWallet.

I needed someone that understood the HR discipline well and someone I’d have confidence in representing us and our brand. Janet and her team exceeded both my and my teams’ expectations on the way they understood our business, the quality of candidates they delivered, and the depth to which they knew their candidates. I can’t tell you how many candidates represented by HRSE have praised the candidate experience the firm delivers. On several occasions candidates have mentioned, that if it wasn’t for the way HRSE represented NW, they may not have proceeded with a meeting, and ultimately, many of those top notch candidates have joined our team and thrived. The duo is responsive, they’ve got credibility in the PeopleOps landscape, and they’re really relentless on making sure they’ve found a fit that matches well with what you’re looking for as you build your organization."
