Hotwire

The global communications agency

An agency of our size has worked with many search partners over the years. What sets Capstone Hill apart is their willingness to think outside the box, particularly with challenging roles. Sometimes even when the role doesn’t even exist. A recent example; looking for a senior role, Jeremy and his team presented someone that on paper didn’t match the brief. But with a deep understanding of where our business wanted to head they still presented them. The candidate was so strong we stopped the original search and hired that candidate instead. It has been one of our strongest hires in the last 10 years.

Michael Pooley, CEO

I liked working with Capstone Hill Search tremendously. They really looked at Proof’s client portfolio and identified the exact right candidates for us. It was reassuring to be given a slate of possible applicants, who were not only sharp, but really willing to take the next step of more complex work.

Clyde Group is an exceptional firm, and we knew we needed an exceptional search team. The Capstone team made the hiring of our first Senior Vice President an extremely collaborative process. We greatly appreciate Capstone’s attention to detail and willingness to take the time and effort to understand our business in order to find the best candidates, that not only match the skills and experience we were looking for, but also have the qualities that perfectly fit Clyde Group’s superior culture.
