"Grant Alexander completed a successful search for a CEO for one of my organizations in less than 60 days! They took the time to understand the business and culture of the company and the attributes necessary for an individual to fill the leadership position vacant for over a year. Our Executive Search Consultant was professional, personable and has a unique ability to convey candidate’s conversations that reveals their personality and attributes. She puts people at ease and facilitates constructive open dialogue. She has great integrity and is passionate about her work. I look forward to working with her again.”

Chief Financial Officer

“Grant Alexander is a top executive search firm. They take the time to get to know both their candidates and to really understand the needs of their client needs. I have found them to be trustworthy and honest – a rare trait in the industry. They pass up making the ‘quick sell’ in order to get things right. I have worked with them both as a placed candidate and now use them exclusively for my Finance department. The consultant I work with has always kept the best interest of both the candidate and the client in mind. She understands the market well and gives sound advice. I appreciate the work both she and the Grant Alexander team have done for me and look forward to working with them in the future.”

“After 33 years of work at a major Medical Center, it was time for me to make a job change. It had literally been that many years since my last official resume and job search. Fortunately, during my search I was introduced to Grant Alexander. Unlike other search firms I had worked with, my consultant had the genuineness that was quickly noted. She was very caring and was willing to spend as much time with me that was needed during my initial interview with her. I could tell immediately that she had the experience and expertise that I would need in my job search for a new Chief Financial Officer position. Through my consultant’s guidance in my search she connected me with an opportunity that turned out to be a perfect fit for me.”

“I met Jennifer Benskin in 2002 during my own search for a new position. While I was placed by a different search firm, I never forgot the support, honesty and guidance she gave me. As a result, I have engaged Jennifer and Grant Alexander in several senior level candidate searches for our company. She has come through every time. We have now hired five highly qualified, very talented leaders thanks to Grant Alexander. Personally, I believe Jennifer is an expert in her field. As a result she makes finding qualified candidates a lot less stressful for me. Grant Alexander is a trusted advisor – being in the job market everyday they help me set realistic expectations regarding our candidate searches and go beyond the job description to identify the true characteristics required for our organization. I have and will continue to recommend the Grant Alexander team to all of my peers and will continue to utilize the great service that they provide.”
