Gordon Food Service, Jill Day, Corporate Recruiter NextThere’s a remarkable difference in working with WilliamCharles Search Group over any other agency. While they were searching for the very best candidates they actually became involved in our company as part of our hiring team of professionals. It is because of the level of commitment and thorough understanding of both our needs and those of each candidate that we have made WilliamCharles one of our elite, preferred vendors of choice.
RoMan Manufacturing, Inc, Robert W. Roth,“WilliamCharles provided professional resources and invaluable guidance as we worked to fill the high profile President/CEO position of our not-for profit organization. As a volunteer Board of Directors and Search Committee, considering the confidentiality that must be maintained, managing the search process internally would not have been practical. WilliamCharles helped us to define the candidate criteria, worked with our staff so that we understood the operational culture of our organization, and prequalified the candidates that we considered. “

Strategic Administrative & Reimbursement Services, LLC, Keli Baris Next“Michele Bishop of WilliamCharles was a pleasure to work with on a recent Chief Operating Officer search. She listened to our needs and was professional and friendly. Her expertise really showed and we are very pleased with the results.”
Standard Federal Bank, Kathy Chapman“I can’t say enough about what a great relationship it has been working with Michele Bishop. She has been able to find quality candidates for many management positions and knows the type of person we are looking for. I don’t waste time on candidates that don’t fit our qualifications. Candidates have told me that the only reason they decided to consider interviewing for our positions was because of Michele’s enthusiasm and approach. She’s able to encourage people to consider our openings even if they are content in their present position. Michele is very conscientious and always returns phone calls and emails the same day. She is a very hardworking, caring individual that knows her stuff!”
