Scion’s industry recruiting experts lead executive searches for:

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Scion as a candidate in one of their searches and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. From the very start, the team was professional, attentive, and extremely helpful in ensuring I had a good understanding of the role they were trying to while also assessing my skills and my personal alignment with opportunity along with my values and long-term ambitions. When I needed to fill a senior-level position in my new organization, I immediately sought assistance from Scion. Once again (my recruiter) and her team did an amazing job delivering quality candidates for consideration for the role. They handled the search quickly and efficiently and I could not be happier with the eventual hiring of a very highly qualified and motivated candidate."

  • "I couldn’t be happier with our decision to partner with Scion. The quality of candidates we received, for our hard-to-fill role, exceeded our expectations in every way. The communication from the staff we worked with at Scion couldn’t have been better making sure we stayed on target with our timeline while ensuring we brought on the best fit for the role. Thank you Scion!"

  • “Working with SCION is a wonderful experience. They are professional, kind, insightful, strategic, and so much more. I specifically worked with…who is outrageously smart. They brought the project in on time, on budget, and provided the board with exceptional candidates. Because of the work of…and SCION, Good Work Austin had an embarrassment of riches to select from. We are in the process of onboarding now, but I can't imagine ever working with anyone, or any firm, besides SCION.”

  • “Working with…was a game changer for our candidate search! I know we would not have found as high-quality of a candidate as quickly as we did without the help of Scion. They handled everything for us through the interviewing and offer process and it was a game-changer for our small team with little bandwidth."

  • “We worked with Scion… for our CFO recruitment. We had a very tight timeline and they were able to ensure we 1) had a great pool of diverse candidates that met our criteria 2) facilitated communication between the staff and candidates, and 3) supported us through negotiations, contracting, and onboarding. All-in-all, I would highly recommend them.”

  • "My company, MarketSmiths, has hired 4 people recruited by Scion. I love Scion’s careful process of listening closely to needs, presenting candidates in tidy packages, and clearly communicating expectations on both sides. We also appreciate the value of extra touches such as final reference checks. This is the most thoughtful recruiting service I have ever used."
