I have had the pleasure of working with Jill De Forest at De Forest Search over the past several years and I consider her a trusted advisor in my executive career. She was extremely helpful, transparent and patient in helping to place me at an entertainment studio in a senior executive position. The whole team at De Forest has been great!

I have worked with Jill and the team at De Forest Search for the past 20 years. The company has very experienced employees that thoroughly vets each candidate, making the client and candidate experience smooth, comfortable and effective. As the CEO of three consumer products companies over a ten-year period, I have hired several key executives through De Forest Search and have enjoyed the relationship and the outstanding results.
Jan Hall
CEO
Last year, I was not really looking for a new role. I was content with my career trajectory as I had been with my company for many years. De Forest Search recruited me and informed me about prospective opportunities, motivating me to make a change. The team at De Forest guided me through the entire process, actively listening and coaching. I highly recommend their approach and recruiting services, whether you are a candidate, or a company looking to hire top talent.

I really appreciated thorough preparation before my interviews and the quick follow-up with the hiring manager right after. I never felt ignored and loved the transparency. I’d highly recommend De Forest Search to companies looking to hire as well as individuals looking for a new challenge.
