Working with Essenta and the team on a recent VP Finance and Strategy role was an absolute pleasure. Their proactive approach and dedication to providing high-quality candidates made the entire process seamless. Essenta’s deep understanding of candidate expectations and skilled negotiation ensured everything ran smoothly, and their professionalism throughout was truly appreciated. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for top-tier executive search support.

The Essenta team is hands down the best partner we have ever worked with in not only identifying and recruiting top talent but combining it with deep analysis of our needs and gaps that completely transformed what we thought we were looking for. Their unique leadership assessment tools and ability to draw insights from executive teams shaped our plans for our revamped executive team. Armed with that knowledge they brought us stellar candidates and were an onboarding and transformation partner. It's a new model combining the best in organizational psychology and leadership development with executive search and I can't recommend them highly enough.
