Testimonials
“We have worked with Larry and his team of retail recruiters for close to eight years, and when we first started working with them, we were in the initial phase of our centralization process in our planning and allocation department. They did an outstanding job of getting us quality candidates in a timely fashion, and during that period we hired over 100 planners and allocators from his firm."

“I have been in the retail industry for over 20 years, and have never worked with an Executive Search firm in any of the positions I was previously hired for. In 2005 I was contacted by Larry Scofield, who discussed with me an opportunity that I did not know even existed. At the time I thought I was very happy in my past position, but Larry was very professional in presenting a new opportunity to me, and helped me through the entire process. His firm was skilled, prepared and focused on educating me about what the organization had to offer. I not only took the position, but I also used Larry to fill some of my Director and Manager positions once I got settled into the new organization.”

“Larry’s team was instrumental in helping us find a Senior VP of Pharmacy for our operation. This was no easy search. The requisition had been open for over 2 months before we engaged Larry’s team. Larry immediately helped us develop a process and timeline that gave us the competitive advantage we needed to fill this critical position. He managed the interview process flawlessly and handled the delicate negotiating so we could land the candidate we wanted."
