We faced the retirement of our CFO after 30 years. He was one of our first hires, and I was worried about giving the keys to the kingdom to anyone else. It was hard to know what a good candidate looked like. Following a referral, we invited someone from Alliance to meet with our executive team. She answered every question and explained the recruiting process, the current talent market, and compensation trends. I never felt like I was being sold to, just advised. We were able to make a decision after interviewing only three candidates, because they all really understood our family’s priorities were so well-prepared. We wanted someone who could improve things while staying true to our culture. Our new CFO is phenomenal and has fit right in. I highly recommend Alliance.
