The Laurel Group has been a great complement to our internal recruiting efforts.

The Laurel Group team is well networked and well regarded amongst Seattle technology executives. They have been able to open up a number of strong recruiting conversations that neither we ourselves nor our investors had been able to facilitate.

We couldn’t be any happier with Laurel Group.

Why do we trust them over and over again with our most important, senior level searches? Because they consistently deliver on what they promise, which I attribute to their senior leaders being hands on with each search, the investment of their own time to really get to know us and our needs, a great set of relationships and contacts and an underdog mentality.
