“I wanted to drop you a short note to let you know how pleased we are with the entire executive process. We gave B. E. Smith the recruitment assignment because of our previous experience with your firm and the fact that we had an ongoing relationship for another search. Selecting a new CEO is perhaps the most important activity a hospital board can undertake and we approached the task with great hope but some trepidation. I must tell you that this has been an altogether pleasant experience primarily because of the skill of B. E. Smith’s senior executive search consultant. The process has been well organized, has been completed on schedule and has resulted in the hiring of a truly superior candidate.”
