“Carol brought her human resources expertise to our initiative, and from the outset, it was clear that she is insightful, caring, totally committed and extremely knowledgeable.  Carol always approached our issues with a depth of understanding, an intuitive sense of the groups needs, and a disposition that was kind, constructive and engaging.  She helped the members focus on tasks at hand, providing an objective perspective on the decision process, which ultimately ensured the success of our initiative.

 

Carol is bright, thoughtful, genuine and very likable.  She provides both the clarity of vision, which helps others to see and an energy, which helps others to act.  Every member of our eleven-person committee praised her unique ability to make us better than we would have been without her.

 

I hold Carol Gordon in the highest regard. She has a gift and would absolutely be an asset to whatever endeavor she undertakes.”

“Making bad hiring decisions can be costly in so many ways.  Carol’s thoughtful and pointed questions guided me to make a hiring decision between two very strong candidates.  It was the perfect choice.  If I ever need help with hiring or HR issues, I’ll be sure to contact Carol.”

“I’ve known Carol since 2003 and have had the pleasure of working with her numerous times.  She proved to be my most valued and trusted advisor at the Arts Council, guiding me through four very successful candidate searches from job description through contract negotiations.  Her level-headedness, intelligence, empathy, insight, humor, and skill were indispensable when conducting searches, evaluating employees, recruiting new board members and developing donor strategies.

 

Carol was instrumental in managing the hostile termination of an employee.  She guided me through the legally complex and emotionally fraught situation, and also kept the board unified during challenging times.  Thanks to Carol, the organization made it through the situation in a strong position.

 

Carol is much more than a consummate human resource professional, she is a wonderful person to work with, bringing lightness and ease to all situations.  Her humor, positive energy, and warmth are as invaluable as her knowledge, professionalism, and intelligence.  I recommend her services, she is a great partner.”
