Paul is the most conscientious search specialist that I have worked with. He was completely on-point with what the hiring company was looking to accomplish and he was very open with feedback. Paul was also very quick to respond and clearly had a strong connection to the hiring company to get answers very quickly. In a field that tends to be very volume based and impersonal, I found Paul very adept at developing personal relationships that I believe make the search process a much better experience for the candidate and hiring company.
