Our Client testimonial

Dave S.
President of Executive Search
I heard about Charles’ success with placing high level exec’s and wanted to attend his seminar. Not only was I impressed, but he truly knows our profession inside and out. The way he works a desk makes so much sense, but it is not how most recruiters do it. Maybe that’s why Charles has consistently been one of the highest producing headhunters in the country. I would highly recommend Charles.

Gary B., Former Chief Accounting Officer
DaVita Inc., Los Angeles, CA-Tacoma, WA
“Charles recruited me from a Fortune 50 company to serve as VP/Controller of Total Renal Care, which at the time was a $1 Billion dollar company in lots of trouble. What pursuaded me to look at this position was Charles ability to sell me on the people they had recently brought on to their executive team to help turn the company around. His ability to illuminate the personality and drive of the company and their culture is what “Hooked” me. I not only served as VP/Controller but was immediately promoted to Chief Accounting Officer. I am proud to say that in the years I served we grew exponentially and rebranded ourselves as DaVita Inc. I continued to use Charles to hire all my top Finance and Accounting executives, including my replacement. Charles’ tenacious work ethic and his ability to disqualify candidates is impressive. He can locate and recruit candidate throughout the US to find you exactly what you want. He is by far the most thorough recruiter I’ve ever worked with in executive search.”

Kristin C., SVP HUMAN RESOURCE
Jones Lang LaSalle, Chicago, Il
“I found Charles to be results-driven, focused and extremely professional. He ensured that he understood our needs for the role and took his time to do research on the market, competition and compensation for the role. I found his research extremely helpful in shaping what we really needed which resulted in a great hire for us. He delivered solid candidates within the timeframe we needed and the process could not have worked more smoothly. I highly recommend Charles!”

Barry R., Former EVP
Schnitzer Steel Industries, Portland, OR
“Charles is a one of a kind! I was referred to Charles’ quite a few years back from one of the Partners at our Auditors at Pricewaterhouse Coopers to Charles. We had worked with many recruiters in the past with some success and lots of failures. Charles was referred to me as one of the most successful recruiters that PWC has ever worked with.
Charles not only made placements for us fast, but the caliber of the candidates was astounding. He finds only the crème of the crop. I heard him interview one of the candidates over the phone. Charles interviews to disqualify candidates, not qualify them. His interview has to be one of the hardest and most thorough interviews I’ve ever heard. In fact, I’m glad he didn’t interview me! Over our time of working together Charles made 8 fantastic placements and I will always use him in the future.”

James J. , Board Member and Chair of the Search Committee
Aleut Corporation, Alaska
“We did an extensive search for the best recruiters in the western region who could find us a top tier CEO. We narrowed in on a few recommendations, but Charles and his firm CRW Executive Search Consultants was the unanimous winner. I was the Chair of the executive search committee for our Board of Directors and I worked directly with Charles through the entire search. I was amazed how quickly he responded with highly qualified candidates throughout the entire US. Charles offers an executive recruiting process that is unparalleled in service and he is especially good at matching candidates with culture. Not only did Charles’ make a great CEO placement, but we also hired him for our President search too. We will continue to use Charles and CRW Executive Search Consultants.”

Olga H.L., Senior Finance and Accounting Consultant
Former Walmart & Ford Motor Company
“I have known Charles for well over 10 years and have been both the client and the recruited. Without a doubt I can say that Charles is not only an excellent recruiter but an outstanding individual that you will want to hire again and again. Even with the toughest searches, he and his team work diligently to sort out what we clients “really” want from our vague wish lists and finds us the best out there – and then he knows exactly what it will take to make me happy and the potential employee happy as well. Not an easy task but Charles does it with both grace and a keen sense of humor. I recommend Charles highly for any client looking to get away from the Big 5 recruiting firms. I also highly recommend him to any executives who do not know him, especially if thinking about a career move.”

“CRW Executive Search excels at finding top-notch talent. What sets Matt apart from other executive recruiters is that he quickly develops an understanding for company culture, business needs and fit. CRW carefully manages the complicated interpersonal dynamics involved with top-tier placements. Above all, CRW is a great guy and really fun to work with.”

Darren M.
True Blue, Inc
“I highly recommend CRW Executive Search for any senior-level finance search. CRW is very focused on understanding and meeting the customer’s needs. CRW understands the critical management and leadership capabilities required of an individual at this level. I was also impressed at CRW’s access to quality candidates and the speed of the process. CRW was able to access candidates we could have not have reached on our own and had our search closed in under 30 days.”

David B.
Former VP Finance - Walmart Stores, Inc.
“I engaged CRW Executive Search several times to recruit Finance staff while I was at Walmart. From a client perspective, CRW is very good at understanding the needs of the position and the traits / experience that will make candidates successful in your company. CRW seeks and accepts feedback on his candidate assessment nomination process to better focus his search. After the first engagement, CRW knew what I was looking for in candidates, thus saving a lot of my time in the recruiting process. From a candidate perspective, I was always impressed with CRW’s persistence and advocacy. CRW would continually push through the company bureaucracy to ensure its candidates got opportunities and stayed in touch with them to keep them apprised. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a recruiter to help them in the job search process.”

Patrick K.
Former Western Regional Head of HR
Charles ability to succeed on every search is an anomaly in the Executive Search Field, and this is why I worked with Charles filling high level executive placements within Pricewaterhouse Coopers 16 Western Regional Offices as well as for our most esteemed clients like Disney, Sun America Insurance, Spelling Entertainment and many others. I also introduced Charles to our eastern region and he was equally successful there as well. I will continue to use Charles because he will never fail you, because frankly once you meet him you will understand his personality won’t allow him to fail.
