Testimonials

"The team at ZurickDavis was truly outstanding during our search for a VP Government & Community Affairs. This position was a challenge to fill due to the unique skillsets and experience required. Jeff and his team presented a diverse slate of individuals who in their own unique way met the cultural, language, and experience requirements of the position. The process moved very quickly adhering tightly to a pre-established work plan accompanied by frequent written and verbal updates and progress reports. None of the candidates presented could have been located without the use of a search firm such as ZD. We are very pleased with the outcome of the search and the selected individual is performing well and contributing to and advancing our work."

"We recently engaged ZurickDavis to help us recruit an Executive Director for one of our Bay Area CCRCs. This facility was new to Eskaton, and our CEO Todd Murch and I wanted to be thorough in our selection process. We certainly came to the right firm. Not only were Jeff and Ellen wonderful to work with, we were very impressed with their search process. It included interviewing our internal stakeholders before they even started to consider candidates to ensure they had a complete picture of what we needed. We found this extra step to be invaluable not only for them in their search, but also to give a voice to and get buy-in from those interested parties. In a short time, we received several solid candidates and found our perfect candidate among them. Throughout the process, we had regular meetings with Jeff and Ellen to check in. After our candidate was hired, they did several post-hire check-ins with us as well as the new hire. We were very pleased with the process and its outcome, and would recommend ZurickDavis."

"We had the pleasure of working with ZurickDavis’ Jeff [Zegas] and Ellen [Mahoney] on an important search here at Carleton-Willard Village. Our CEO Barbara Doyle and I found them to be very professional, timely and confidential. They presented several strong candidates in a short timeframe, one of whom we hired. We are very pleased with who we hired, and would absolutely use ZurickDavis again."

“It is really incredible how you were “in it” with us and stuck with our ups and downs even in the dark days when we didn’t know if we would find the right person! It does not surprise me that you get the highest reviews of any search firm I have ever heard of. You’re a pure pleasure to work with and set a standard of customer service not just for search firms, but for any company at all!”

"At Los Angeles Jewish Home, we recently completed our search to replace our long time CEO, who had enjoyed an amazing 24-year tenure at the helm. The circumstances called for a very inclusive and comprehensive search process, and we were very fortunate to have ZurickDavis guide the way. Jeff Zegas and his team worked extensively with the Committee and brought an impressive group of final candidates for our consideration. Jeff was also instrumental in the negotiation process and provided very sound advice throughout. We couldn't have chosen a better partner for this important assignment."

"Little did we know that when we engaged ZurickDavis for the CEO search at the Community Health Centers of Burlington the journey that lay ahead of us, but we had the right partners to lead us; we hired a CEO during the Coronavirus pandemic! Shortly after beginning the search, ZDinterim placed a highly competent Interim CEO with us and turned their attention to the permanent search. ZurickDavis has a very effective process that they've honed through many engagements. Lida's insight into the human psyche and Jeff's counsel and guidance led us to a great candidate."

"I am Chair of the Board of Directors for South Cove Manor at Quincy Point, a senior care organization serving primarily Chinese American clients. We selected ZurickDavis to conduct our CEO search.  We were very pleased with the diligence and care that they brought to learning about us and our unique culture.  ZurickDavis provided us a thorough and excellent search process, which led to our having to choose between two clearly excellent candidates.  Several months after completion of the search, we are very pleased with the leadership being provided by the CEO we selected."

"As Board President of Springwell, Inc., I can’t thank you enough for all your advice and assistance in the search for our new CEO. You were insightful about the candidates, and I found I could always rely on you to be available and thoughtful about the search process. The team at ZurickDavis provided a process that was well organized and thorough. Your diligence in learning about our organizational culture and industry, the field of elder services and supports, was much appreciated. It was great to have the ability to choose among excellent candidates. Our board and staff are enthusiastic about our CEO and pleased to be moving forward!"
