“The team at The Search Bar were some of the best external hiring partners I’ve ever worked with to hire talent to my teams. We had a signed offer letter within a month. They took the time to understand our needs—who our existing team was, the nuances of the role as well as learning the values of the organization, which massively expedited the search and landed us the exact candidate we were looking for. I would highly recommend working with The Search Bar.”
