Client Testimonials
Client Testimonials
“The whole process was easy and transparent. Definitely good value. The weekly summaries were very helpful. We always felt like Duffy Group was diligently working on our search, giving us timely feedback and presenting us with all pertinent information. Honestly, we are only sorry we didn’t start sooner with Duffy Group.”
Ann Casey, CAO, Beaufort Rosemary
“The work that Duffy Group did to give us 5 solid candidates to spend time with was amazing! The individual we hired is one we could have easily missed had we attempted the search on our own. I am feeling very confident that the individual we hired, because of Duffy Group, will be an incredible addition to our team!”
Maureen Noe, CEO, The Foster Alliance – Arizona Helping Hands
“We’ve conducted three successful searches and new hires with Duffy Group. The candidates presented for each position are equipped with the expertise and knowledge to perform the job and are culturally a great fit, which saved our team time and money on overhead and attrition.”
Heather Spilsbury, 50/50 Women on Boards
“Our firm desperately needed an experienced attorney in a very specialized area. It was a needle in the haystack search that received little attention from our prior contingent fee search firms given all the other easier low hanging fruit. Duffy Group scoured the legal profession with targeted and innovative searches and provided thorough weekly updates of the potential candidates they had contacted and the status of those contacts. Their diligent and focused efforts yielded several qualified candidates, one of which we ultimately hired. Working with the Duffy Group was a great experience, and I highly recommend them for your future hiring needs.”
