"I cannot say enough positive things about Peckham & McKenney. That opinion is shared by
our 5 Commissioners, HR Manager, and me. This is the second time we have contracted with
them and will continue to do so."
Jan Friedlund, former County Administrator
Teton County, WY
"If it had not been for their initiative and interaction in the
early stages of the recruitment, I never would have been a candidate
much less the one actually selected for the position."
Steve Rogers, Town Manager
Town Of Yountville, CA
"Phil went above and beyond with his personal touch approach
by answering questions and providing encouragement throughout
the complete application and interviewing process. Being treated
with a high level of respect and professionalism was appreciated
during a time that can be somewhat stressful to applicants."
Donna Langland

"You'll never feel lost in the shuffle."
John Power, Human Resources Director

"I appreciate the way you treat candidates like people instead
of beggars. I have felt rehumanized after each of our conversations."
Dave Foster, "Candidate"
"I have dealt with many executive search consultants over the years and can honestly say that you are the best I have ever
encountered. You provide a much more personal and dignified approach to the process by relying on your interpersonal expertise
to judge candidates on their character rather than treating them like a commodity … You are a first class professional!"
Bob Game Former Executive Director
Niagra Falls Water Board
"As Chair of the General Manager Recruitment Committee for the North Tahoe Public Utility District,
I would like to recommend the services of Peckham & McKenney.
Our previous General Manager had been on the job for the past 30 years. Needless to say, we had little recent experience in the
hiring for this position. Bobbi and Phil were very helpful in regards to overcoming this, from helping to craft the initial
job description and recruitment collateral, to the staging of the finalist interviews. Personal attention starting with
one-on-one Board member interviews marked their focus on details that were specific to the needs of our organization.
This approach, their conscientious attitude in keeping us informed, and attentiveness to our timeline resulted in a
successful recruitment, on time and within budget.
Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to a call me at (530) 546-4989."
John Bergmann General Manager
Recruitment Committee Chair
North Tahoe Public Utility District
"I must say, although disappointed, I am extremely impressed by the promptness and thoroughness of this response and your
previous reply/update. I have yet to experience this level of professionalism with other application processes, whether handled
internally or via an external search vendor.
I applaud your obvious work ethic and professionalism.""

"The City of Hayward has utilized Bobbi's services for executive recruitment on
several occasions over the past three years or so. She quickly became an expert
on Hayward's culture and what type of leaders we needed here. Most recently her

for us. I would be happy to discuss our experience with her firm and highly recommend
their services to any agency looking to fill critical executive leadership positions."

"Thank you for the successful outreach services provided to us in our search, recruitment and
selection of the Police Captain position. We were very pleased with the number and quality of the
candidates submitted to us by Peckham & McKenney's outreach efforts. Due to our small HR staff,
we needed assistance in the recruiting outreach efforts. You fulfilled our needs A++. The pre-meeting
with HR and the City Manager was very helpful to define our individual duties and roles and the follow
through from you was immediate, with total quality and tailored to our recruiting needs. The phone
conference to brief us on the candidates was an exceptional added value and provided us with pertinent
information about the candidates. It is with enthusiasm that I would recommend your services to other agencies.
I hope to call on you again to assist us with our future recruitment needs."
