"If you are in need of leadership talent, look no further than M.L. Best Consulting. I have had the pleasure of working with Morgan and her team on multiple executive and mid-level searches and cannot say enough positive things about the experience. Not only does the firm deliver a personalized service that is catered to the needs of its clients, the responsiveness and effectiveness with which they work is bar none. Though presenting a pool of diverse candidates is central to who they are, putting the firm solely in this box would not only serve to limit your own possibilities but to stifle the richness of their expertise. There are larger firms out there but larger does not always mean better and if you are looking for a partnership that feels more like an extension of your team, look no further."
