"hrQ knows their stuff. They aren't your normal "push the candidates I have" search firm. They partner with you to understand your needs, they listen well and they are flexible. That's all nice, but bottom-line they get results. That's what makes the difference!”"

"I’ve had the good fortune to have worked with the exceptional team at hrQ in several capacities – in advancing my own career and in hiring full-time as well as contract HR professionals. As far as I’m concerned, they are the premier search firm when it comes to hiring HR talent, and are recognized as such by top HR leaders. They are noted for possessing an extensive national and local network of HR professionals, be they generalists or specialists, which they manage effectively. I’ve often felt the hrQ team had my best interest and that of my company’s at heart; they are not a run of the mill placement firm only interested in “filling a vacancy.”
"They understand my satisfaction hinges on hiring the right person for the job (and likewise, ensuring the candidate views the company as an optimal fit for them as well). For anyone considering partnering with the first-rate members of hrQ, I would emphatically recommend it."

"Katie Kaiser makes things happen. I was a candidate on one of her searches and throughout the interview process she took extra steps to make sure I was prepared for my interviews, coached me well, and was a critical factor to my success. I recommend Katie as an executive recruiter who naturally sets herself apart from other search professionals because she is very bright, she cares deeply about her clients and her candidates, and she has a superior ability to connect with people. "

"I believe hrQ is the top HR Search and Services organization in the United States. They have a deep pool of prospects for a variety of jobs, its employees stand above other recruiters for their service and results, and they are trusted advisors on candidates and other HR resources. They take the time to assess candidate’s behavioral and technical competencies, and really get to know the cultural of an organization to ensure a good “fit”. I highly recommend hrQ for all your Human Resource talent needs."

"In my dealings with hrQ, I continue to be impressed by their professionalism and dedication to customer service. They ensure that the person they place is a good fit not only to the job description, but to the culture of the company as well. For them, it’s more about a great fit for all parties involved, rather than placing a body with a firm. Their extensive network ensures that the candidates they find are some of the top talent in the applicable geographic area. They’re a delightful team with whom to partner."

"I was an external headhunter for over 10 years, an internal Staffing professional for 5 years, a HR executive generalist for 8 years; therefore, super selective about the headhunters I use both personally and professionally. I believe the old adage: IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE. And Katie Kaiser is ONE—one of the best external headhunters I’ve ever had the opportunity to meet and personally work with. I would recommend her services for—any search—in any industry—any time!"

"One of the best things about working with hrQ is that the staff members really get it in terms of HR skills and qualifications. I was really impressed by how well all of the candidates fit the description. hrQ makes sure they really understand the story behind the job description, so they can source the right folks and paint an accurate picture for the candidates. This makes the selection process very smooth and painless."

"hrQ provides both a high level of professionalism and an understanding of Human Resources as they undertake the searches assigned. We all know that HR is more than paper pushing -- and hrQ understands both the strategic and tactical components of any HR position. This in-depth understanding allows the search team to meet the needs of their clients through their knowledge of position requirements while identifying those candidates best suited to the specific organization and leadership team. Success is only achieved when the client has that perfect candidate in their key HR position….and that is what hrQ does best! "

"Focus – placing Human Resources professionals for permanent and/or contract employment is what you do and you do it well. Because you have relationships with recruiting departments in a variety of fields it would be natural for them to ask and for you to accommodate different types of placements but you remain focused on your specialty."
"Relationships – you maintain deep and lasting relationships with both the companies you work with and the professionals you place. Maintaining these relationships enables you to create networks unparalleled in the markets you serve."
"Accessibility – even as the firm has grown, you and your staff are always available for a conversation, a quick email, or simply networking. This distinguishes hrQ from larger firms where you may have an initial conversation with a recruiter but never hear from them again. With hrQ we remain connected and keep each other informed. I’ve always felt comfortable calling and getting your opinion.

"hrQ, and Molly McCoy specifically, helped me identify an opportunity that matched my career desires and strengths with an organization that had challenges to offer, both immediately and later in my career. Molly's thorough profile development process, deep knowledge of her corporate customers, and her personal approach to matching me with the right opportunity provided me with the confidence to know that she wanted success for all involved, and that neither party had to worry that the job, or candidate, was simply being shopped around. The follow up calls to see how things have worked out continue to this day, years after having been placed through hrQ."
