Show All Executive Recruitment Interim Leadership Development & Training Strategic Foresight TLG Conference
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you and everyone at SGR. Your company is nothing but professional, well organized and prompt! That's greatly appreciated! Especially for some one like me. A person that lives on pin and needles going through this process. But, knowing where you stand, one way or another, and being well informed throughout the process has been very comforting. Thank you and Mr. Robinson for your patience, explanation and walking me through this whole process. I would highly recommend SGR to my current employer and to anyone else that asks. Thank you!

This was my first conference with TLG and I left with so much knowledge and inspiration! My favorite part of the conference was not only hearing the buzz words “innovation” “forward thinking” but then it was all backed up with practices! I really loved the size of the conference, it wasn’t so large that I felt like a number, I got to meet several people and see them throughout the conference.

I have always been impressed with all of the TLG Conferences, and this experience was no different! As a first time presenter for TLG, I will share that your staff did an awesome job of ensuring that I felt prepared. I appreciated the Speaker portal which gave me set deadlines, the check ins along the way and the Speaker rehearsals. All of your staff were very helpful and professional. I truly enjoyed the experience and would do this again perhaps in Tampa!

I want to commend Merrill King and her team. They exuded confidence and held our hand throughout the recruitment process. They answered all our questions and validated concerns we had. I look forward to partnering with SGR again.

...every step of the process was clearly communicated. Debra was fantastic at keeping us up to date. This process was fantastic and was such a great way for our council to see what hiring quality companies can do for our town. SGR was competitive(ly priced) to many other companies. Our little town has just had a bit of sticker shock over the last year! This contract was well worth every penny though. I would have no issue recommending (SGR) services to any city. Once we start looking to fill other key administrative positions we will be reaching back out to SGR. I think the most beneficial piece is what we learned internally. I fully believe our council now understands while these engagements are expensive for a small town like ours, they also provided us with the best option for our future. Special thank you to Debra: She was such a pleasure to work with. Communication was outstanding. Even while we were waiting for other things to be completed she was still checking and updating us. Her guidance through this process was professional, without being stuffy or pushy. It felt like working with a good friend. Her open and honest assessments of candidates was very much appreciated, we felt we could trust her opinion. We are looking forward to welcoming our new manager and thank SGR staff and Debra for everything that was done to make this a wonderful process.

The recruitment process was very detailed but it was also very professional and well executed which I greatly appreciate. I also appreciated Kurt's willingness to answer questions and give insight throughout. Additionally, I can’t say enough about how great the other staff, especially Marie Levie, were. The responsiveness, care and professionalism shown were top notch. I haven’t been through a lot of recruitment processes before but I’ve been through a few and this one by far was the best executed and had the best communication provided throughout.

I have high expectations for SGR since you all do a fantastic job. I'm completely satisfied with the process, and ultimately, the outcome. We hired as good of a Chief BO as I could have possibly hoped for.

The Interim City Manager for Dalhart has been a truly wonderful experience - the City Council has been fabulous and the community welcoming! It is a marvel to see everyone so excited to begin to look at the future and outside the box - Dalhart has a lot of potential - certainly I see it as does their new City Manager. Interim work is the best of all worlds in so many ways. Thank you and SGR for thinking of me - the job has been my pleasure!

Things are going well and even better now that Brenda (our interim Payroll Coordinator) will be joining us permanently. I’m so grateful that SGR had the resources to help us get through this payroll transition and that it has worked out that Brenda will be staying with us long-term. I know that wasn’t even in the initial game plan, but I’m honestly very happy with how the whole thing has unfolded and is working out.

We’d like to thank SGR for sending us a more than-qualified professional. The interim services you provide have been an excellent asset for us in the past in the Finance Department and now again in Development Services.

I myself am looking at pursuing more than just Councilor in life, so it was exciting getting a snapshot of someone else's journey.

Phenomenal job with the brochure! Thank you for capturing all the voices you heard in your visit!

As a member of Council, it was so refreshing to experience Lynn Barboza’s way of handling things. As I told (a colleague), I don’t believe she wasted even one minute of our time. Quite refreshing. We are also looking forward to having Mike Mowery come back up to Oregon and help us with some strategic planning and goal setting in early February. He is such a nice guy, and really helps us get it altogether.
