Testimonials
“Our new GM started yesterday…highly qualified candidate. We’re confident he will be an outstanding leader and grow the commercial business. Shaylene Keiner, President of HeadHunters NW, partnered with us to lead the search. Shaylene presented a multitude of well-qualified, interested candidates. In fact, we actually hired another candidate opportunistically, whom Shaylene presented along the way. She attends product shows our clients attend and has a large network of contacts with skills relevant to our business.”
— Lisa D. Whitmore, VP, Human Resources, L3 Technologies, Integrated Land Systems
“Recruiting can be very time-consuming and quite challenging, but not when Shaylene is there to work for you! She not only has successfully placed highly talented people in key positions, but most importantly, she worked collaboratively with our team, communicated progress regularly, and delivered results effectively and timely. Shaylene’s weekly candidate tracking reports helped us stay informed and assured us the recruitment was on the right path. Not all recruiters are alike, and working with Shaylene proves there is a difference. It is refreshing to work with someone who listens carefully, understands your needs, the value of skill and culture fit, communicates regularly, and delivers on target.”

“As a global company headquartered abroad, we needed an executive recruiting firm to meet our domestic and international demands. We retained Head-Hunters NW for a single recruitment as we began to rebuild the U.S. operation. Very quickly, we recognized HHNW could successfully manage the staffing process for our transformation. They've helped us by recruiting all of our senior leadership and most of their team members. We doubled our team with high-performing professionals who are a good fit with our industry and corporate culture. While there have been very few new employees who have not fit, HHNW has been fast to address issues and replace them as needed.”
— Paul Lemke, GM RUAG Ammotec USA
“Shaylene and the team at HHNW are everything you want in a professional recruiting firm. The diverse skill set and their depth of knowledge provide the biggest advantage for their clients. In my 21 years of working in the outdoor industry, I have never met a more dialed in person like Shaylene. She knows the industry, product, companies, and who's-who at all levels. Her ability to stay connected to the latest news and trends is remarkable. Every aspect of the way she and her team does business can best be described as, ‘Say what you do, do what you say.’ They get the job done!”
