None have done as good a job as The Connors Group did with understanding the required candidate profile and our environment, and then quickly providing solid candidates meeting those specifications. We did not have to spend any time unnecessarily screening resumes for candidates that weren't a fit. In fact, all candidates presented to us on the first pass, were candidates we wanted to interview immediately. Great to work with."

My current firm is a client of The Connors Group, and Christine has worked with us on Executive placement (in fact, she placed me at the firm). She is one of the few executive recruiters with whom I have worked over the years who takes time to get to know the client, and the prospective candidates to ensure a great fit, not just on paper, but culturally and for the long run. She is sociable and caring, using her wisdom and experience to advise clients and candidates—leading to excellent outcomes. If you are thinking about working with her, and The Connors Group Team, just do it. The capabilities and expertise become apparent in the tangible and intangible results.”
