Testimonials

Working with Jess and the Furst Group team was enjoyable! They made a difficult process much easier. They are very professional, incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and excellent communicators.

Jess and the Furst Group team worked incredibly hard to be available when we needed them. They made us feel like we were the only client that they were working with and that we were their top priority.

Jess Homann and her team provided a world-class experience. I have previously chaired several academic search committees for department chair positions and partnered with other search firms. The Furst Group experience under Jess Homann’s lead was best-in-class—I submit a 5-Star rating! Thanks again for the opportunity!

I would highly recommend the Furst Group as a recruitment partner. The depth of industry knowledge, thoroughness of vetting candidates, interactions with the recruitment team and caliber of candidates presented was exactly what our organization needed.

The Furst search team is highly professional and engaging.

Furst Group is our #1 firm.

The level of professionalism and attention to detail was unmatched by any other firm I have worked with in the past.

No comparison. Other recruitment firms would do well to learn from Furst Group in order to compete.

The experience with Furst Group was the best experience I have had in 30 years of executive recruitment.

Far superior. Most search firms I’ve worked with I wouldn’t recommend. Furst Group acted as a truly invested partner.

Light years ahead of other firms.

I have not experienced the same level of excellence in other search firms I’ve worked with.

The firm’s knowledge of the hospice industry and those working in it is both broad and deep.

As an HR executive with 40 years of experience in both the private sector and publicly traded companies, I have engaged various executive search firms. However, none of those were executed with the skill and timelines of this one. Jess Homann and the Furst Group team were simply exemplary in every facet of the search.

Jess and her team are far better communicators and listeners than other firms we’ve partnered with. Additionally, Jess’s ability to succinctly and clearly outline a candidate’s background and how it would benefit our organization is impressive.

I’ve worked with several recruiters and firms in the past, and Jess, as well as the rest of the Furst Group team, are the most accurate, thorough individuals I’ve ever worked with. Jess’ professionalism and drive to ensure a fit (from culture to role to skill sets and beyond) are head and shoulders above the rest.

Kevin Reddy and the Furst Group team do a great job—from immersing themselves into the needs of the organization to doing research, seeking inputs, and then coming up with a strategic plan to fill the position with the right talent/resources.

The Furst Group is by far the best firm I have ever worked with during my 20-year career. Kevin Reddy is incredible, and I can’t give enough praise.

Kevin and the team were great about sending information ahead of time and responding to questions along the way. They exceeded expectations. Furst Group was superior to other firms—they went above and beyond to get us highly qualified people.

Having worked with many search firms, I would rank Furst Group (and Tim specifically) as one of the best in the healthcare industry.

I’ve been ‘on both sides’ of the executive recruiting process, and I can honestly say that Tim and his team were among the most outstanding partners I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Tim Frischmon was one of the best, if not the best, professional recruiters I have had the pleasure of working with.

The Furst Group team was excellent to work with. They were knowledgeable, professional, transparent, organized, and available. They took the time to really understand our culture and business model prior to initiating the search and were also very patient with us as we navigated some organizational changes during the recruitment. Deanna and the team’s counsel were thoughtful and spot-on. The team was a pleasure to work with. A great partnership!

Deanna ran an extremely orderly process and brought forward a number of well-qualified applicants. She helped manage expectations as the interviews unfolded, and she worked with our team to navigate a complex set of interviews given the number of interviewers involved as well as pandemic considerations. Furst Group’s performance was above what I have experienced in other searches.

One of the best searches we have conducted with a search firm in a while. Deanna and the team were responsive—adjusting and pivoting based on changing expectations, feedback, and other organizational factors. The candidates brought forward were strong, experienced candidates, along with some “step-ups” per our request. The team provided honest assessment and insight into the candidates. It was a pleasure to work with Deanna.
