What Clients Say.

 

Helene filled our CEO role – which was an extremely nuanced search. Apiary had previously been Founder-led, and there was absolutely no blueprint to work with in terms of this very first CEO hire. Helene was successful in filling the seat with the absolutely perfect unicorn CEO. She deeply intuited the nuances of what we needed, and did an excellent job of selling Apiary to prospective candidates with a level of professionalism that helped level up the brand. She has relentless positive energy and didn't settle until we found just the right fit.

- Karen Admundson, CEO-Apiary Digital

I had the pleasure of working with Helene on a large hiring project, which had to be completed within a tight time frame. We hadn’t worked together before, and one of the things that stood out to me about Helene from the beginning was her ability to jump in with a new team and hit the ground running.  Helene asked the right questions, challenged us to think creatively to solve problems and effectively oversaw a high volume project with skill, tenacity, humor and grace. Helene went above and beyond supporting my team with a variety of tasks, and became an indispensable team member on this project.

Managing a quickly growing business requires a constant reassessment of the skills needed and upgrades to the quality of talent recruited.  Working with HDV Talent was a breakthrough for our company, making those upgrades to critical positions efficient and effective. HDV Talent provided strong insight and counsel on evolving marketplace dynamics, and pushed us - in a good way - to explore candidates we might not have otherwise met. I'd highly recommend working with HDV Talent.
