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.

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 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!
