Of the many potential candidates identified, one in particular fit perfectly and was hired for the position. The search was conducted in a very professional, friendly and timely manner.”

“I have only the highest praise for Frank Shannon and eduSearch. When we explained who and what we needed for each position, Frank invariably returned with a slate of highly qualified and enthusiastic applicants. He helped us through the interview process, was very forthright in his personal assessment of each candidate, and participated in the conversation as in each case we made just the right selection. Our administrative staff and team are today immensely superior to what they were before. Simply put, we wouldn't be nearly so well prepared for the future were it not for Frank's efforts. I can't recommend him highly enough.”

“When the University of Northern Colorado first considered hiring a new Vice President, I was uncertain of the value of using a search firm. It seemed to me that we could advertise and select without help. I was wrong. I have done a 180 degree turn around. I would not hire a senior executive without the help of firms like eduSearch. You combined the personal attention and knowledge of the field that we needed. We appreciated quality of the people you presented to us. I know we will be back the next time that we hire.”
