Tim Schaeffer, Executive Recruiter
I've known Tim for more than 20 years so this is not a casual reference. In executive search there are two kinds of firms: small and personal, or big national. Tim's is small and personal. You can always count on him to achieve fast, strategically correct results.

Robert M. Lee, Executive Director, Institute for Applied Mgt. and Law
Integrity + high performance = BOB LEE. I've known Bob for 20 years, and "prince of a guy" doesn't do him justice. Every contact with him is always uplifting. That's why major national franchises like Home Depot and Wal*Mart become his clients. He's the very best.
Mike O'Neil, President & CEO, Integrated Alliances
High energy + superb people skills + caring for others = MIKE O'NEIL. A true make-it-happen magician, any business would be lucky to have him as part of their sales and marketing effort.
Rick Dutkiewicz, Chief Financial Officer, Einstein's
Not your typical introverted number crunching CFO, Rick is the epitome of high-energy, take-charge, make-it-happen. He's not a quitter. In 20 years, I've seen him in situations that begged to be quit, and he persisted. Rick is the best you can find.
Jim Allbaugh, Executive Vice President of Sales, CareerLab
As Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Jim exceeded my expectations in every direction by building strategic relationships, implementing strategic alliances, introducing me to CEOs and other top executives, and closing new business. Jim secured my monthly leadership column in the Denver Business Journal. He’s the very best there is.
