I’ve had the good fortune to have worked with Tim Barton and the team at Barton Executive Search for over 15 years. Throughout this time, the business challenges that we faced together have been numerous, large and complex requiring specialized skills and strong attention to detail. Our goal has always been to secure the top talent in our industry to help us achieve on our objectives and deliver shareholder value.

​

The recruiting needs here at [our company] were significant as we have been transforming the senior leadership team at the company and staffing many C-level roles. Tim has placed two Brand Presidents, a senior sales leader who has now been promoted to a Brand President position to name a few. In all cases, we’ve been very pleased with the talent that we’ve been able to attract and believe that we now have built the best team in our sector. As confirmation, our business results have followed strongly. This couldn’t have happened without the hard work, dedication and attention to detail that Tim and his team have brought to helping us build our organization.

​

The differentiating factors for Barton Executive Search that really stand out are in two key areas: sourcing talent and in handling candidates. From a sourcing perspective, the expansive data base that the firm has built is one of the largest banks of information in the search industry. In addition, the numerous personal contacts that Tim has with top industry talent adds a second level to building the most effective and complete candidate target list in any search. To be able to see the entire talent pool when identifying potential candidates is simply the best way to ensure that a search has the potential to deliver the best person for the position. In terms of handling candidates, there really is not another firm that briefs, communicates and manages the delivery of the candidate like Tim and his team. The amount of two-way communication throughout the interview process along with the attention to detail during the offer stage are critical components to ensuring the right fit, expectations on both sides and the ultimate success of the new hire once onboard. Having done a large number of searches with this firm, I can attest that this is the rule and not the exception.

​

In summary, I’d highly recommend Barton Executive Search for any company that is serious about building an organization and a business with the best talent.
