When I had to staff a marketing department at a large retail book chain, Paula handled these challenging searches, very professionally and effectively. Paula asks the questions that most recruiters don't bother to ask-she probed on corporate culture as well as my overall business goals, enabling her to identify the most appropriate candidates who would be successful at my company. She is extremely intuitive-her candidates were spot-on. Additionally, Paula has a very strategic perspective, providing me with advice and counsel on my overall staffing plan and requirements. I trust her advice and counsel. I highly recommend Paula and her team and look forward to working with Paula for all my future executive hiring searches.”

“Paula Weiner has done search work for me on many occasions. She has an uncanny ability to understand the basic culture of an organization or company division. This gives Paula the advantage when finding candidates that will function best in a particular culture. As Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising, at a fast moving TV service provider company, my division was staffing an entire marketing group. Luckily for me, I had Paula to work on all assignments and each job was filled by her with precision. The result was a staff of solid executives extremely well-suited to their job as well as the organization….in fact, many lasted way beyond my tenure with that company. When I restarted my agency in 2004, I could always count on Paula for introductions to some of the best minds in the business. She knew precisely what I needed for each assignment, both short and long term. She knows the real talent out there, and they know her too! And Paula has a great sense of humor so working with her is actually fun.”

"Paula and her team conducted numerous searches for the US Army Marketing Strategy Team. It is a unique opportunity to work on the U.S. Army Recruiting Marketing effort in the Pentagon and regularly interact with some of the highest ranking Civilian and Military Leaders in the Army. The Team faced very difficult marketing challenges creating an effective effort while the nation was at war, and we had one of the largest marketing budgets ($200 million) in the U.S. to work with.
Paula's group did a great job of sending us highly qualified candidates with very diverse backgrounds, a real asset when faced with such challenging objectives. Candidate selection also included consideration for the core values of respect for each other and for the seriousness of the task we needed to address. While the transition issues to such a different situation were enormous, Paula stayed connected with us, to help insure our success. The professionalism and skills of each person, the mutual respect, and the ongoing support from Paula helped us be successful."

As a candidate, Paula’s guidance and insights were a huge reason I joined The LEAGUE. She provided an in-depth inside view of the people, the culture, as well as the pace and rhythm of the organization. Paula put words around what I was feeling.
As a client, Paula has been an essential guide and advisor in making two critical hires – our senior finance and development executives.
