Client Testimonials


“We engaged DHR International for assistance with a critical chairman recruitment this past year. We were delighted with both the process and result of the search. Although there were a number of active searches for chairs in this discipline ongoing throughout the country, DHR identified a number of qualified and interested candidates. DHR International, and specifically John Thornton, was of great assistance in helping us choose which applicants we wished to interview. As things turned out, we ended up with our top ranked candidate accepting the position, but we also learned a lot from the other candidates we interviewed. Frankly, we would use DHR International again.”
