Reviews
“Never experienced anyone more thorough! Over the years, Gilreath’s proven method has been invaluable!”
“Combining Jim’s careful, exhaustive search discipline with expert psychological assessment technology, we were able to hire ‘by design’ rather than by chemistry.”
“Skin in the Game’s strength lies in the defined process to assure a good match between the private equity company’s desires, the portfolio company’s needs, and the candidate. Unique and thorough!”
“At the end of the day, both the candidate and company will have all the information necessary to make an informed decision. Never experienced a more comprehensive and thorough process.”
