Our experience with Pacific was very positive and unique. Senior and complex roles in a specific niche seem to be just another day for them. Their process is very thorough and all candidates we have been presented with were relevant and suitable to the role. No time wasted, fast search, and turn around. An Executive Search that initially seemed to be hard, painful, and long, turned out to be pleasant, fast, and successful with them. I’m very satisfied with their support and looking forward to working with Pacific again.
