High-Touch Recruiting for Critical Leadership Hires

Search With
Clarity and Intent

CB & Associates approaches high-touch recruiting as a strategic process, not a transactional one. The firm works closely with clients to understand the business need, define the leadership gap, and shape the search around the outcome that matters most. That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

Hear What Others Are Saying

Cindy is by far the best recruiter I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She takes the time to learn about her clients and their previous roles so that she is able to communicate their abilities to hiring managers effectively. She's extremely friendly, thorough in her questions and follows through with her commitments. She also really listens to the needs of her clients which enables her to negotiate salaries and other benefits on their behalf. I hope to never need a recruiter again but if I do I know that I can count on Cindy to help further my career goals. Thank you Cindy!!

From start to finish Cindy was there for me every step of the way. The company I was interviewing with truly respected and thought highly of her referrals. She always made herself available to me and had valuable input and feedback for every phase of the interview process. She made a normally tedious and sometimes frustrating process smooth and enjoyable. She was, without a doubt a very integral part of my hiring! I strongly endorse Cindy and her firm for all your recruiting needs.

Cindy has served PIHRA District 6 with distinction for many years. Her efforts to facilitate outstanding venues for our meetings has contributed to the fact that District 6 is one of only two Districts to gain membership in each of the last several years. I have also observed her treatment of clients and routinely make referrals to her, secure in the knowledge that they will receive caring and professional service.

Principal Consultant

Richard P.

Cindy is one of the best recruiters I have ever known. As a Human Resources manager, I relied on her expertise for over 20 years, and today, I am proud to call her a friend. Cindy's honesty, warmth, and genuine care for people have always stood out. Throughout my career as an HR practitioner—from Manager to VP in the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution sectors with companies like CalComp, Springs Industries, and Vans—Cindy was an invaluable asset. She consistently made me look good by bringing in the right people, even before the era of the Internet!
