Barry Retchloff, President (retired), Quality Craft Limited
-
“Wolf has significant hardware/home improvement experience in Canada and USA. This was very attractive to our company as we are a Canadian company with significant business in the states.
I made contact with Wolf and his executive recruitment firm in early 2017. At the time I was president of Quality Craft Ltd, a Vancouver based company. I made the decision to retire to spend more time with my family and was searching for my replacement.Not having utilized search firms much in the past and seeking a candidate for the paramount leadership role of our company, this was an extremely important undertaking. I must say, working with Wolf, he made what seemed like an insurmountable task extremely painless and easy for us. We provided Wolf with background of our company, what strengths we were looking for in the next leader and type of management style that is necessary to meld into our culture. He was able to provide a short list of A++ candidates within a couple of weeks.
We were able to quickly interview the top tier candidates and collaborate with Wolf on our direction. The entire process took just a few weeks.This is by far the most important transition in our company’s 32 year history, but by working with Wolf, it was one of the quickest/easiest hires we’ve made. Our new president brings with him a tremendous amount of leadership experience and a very focused product/market driven disciplined approach to the business. Everything we needed and more! Without Wolf, we would have never found the caliber of president we have to take our company to the next level!
In addition to the great job Wolf has done, it is also refreshing to have him follow up along the way to ensure that all is on plan and we are headed in the direction we outlined in our original collaboration. This type of genuine concern for a job done right is extinct in this fast paced world. Wolf is one who not only delivers, but ensures all parties are satisfied for the long run!
I recommend Wolf to anybody in the industry looking for high caliber talent!”
