I would not hesitate, for a moment, to recommend NES to a colleague I respected. In fact, I’d advocate for them to use the firm based on my experiences. 

[NES] brought us excellent candidates. We felt very good about the search process, and we felt like we had options. They were very timely in their communications and meeting the timeline they laid out for us. 

Robin Reynders did a phenomenal job vetting the applicants and having conversations that quickly got to the heart of what was important to us as an institution. She represented us well to the top candidates, and she clearly, and thoroughly, shared the strengths and experiences of the candidates with us.

Mary Napier and Laura Robinson were extremely personable and professional to work with. I have only positive things to say about working with NES, and so much of it stems from how well they get to know their clients and the individuals who are interviewing for the positions.

NES provided me with a highly personalized, high-touch experience. I always felt like I was their only client. 

Mary Napier is the ultimate professional, bringing years of experience and a wealth of contacts in the enrollment management profession to ensure an ideal search process.

Simply put, NES set a new standard of consulting excellence in our successful search for a new VP for Enrollment. As chair of the search committee, I could not have been more pleased by the professionalism, proficiency, and unwavering commitment that the Napier team displayed throughout the search process or more proud of the final results.

What a pleasure it was to work with NES throughout two searches, one for our Director of Financial Aid and then for our Director of Admissions at Manhattan College, when I served as Vice President for Enrollment. They took the time to develop an understanding of our institution and, in turn, each time identified a pool of exceptional candidates who all possessed unique qualities necessary to lead our financial aid and admissions operations.

Working with NES took a great deal of stress out of the search process. From the start, the their team took an interest in getting to know Rollins and our staff so they could help identify the best fit candidate pool for us. They really listened to our hopes and needs for the position.

We could not have achieved our extraordinary results at Trinity College without NES. From the start, they were thoughtful, inquisitive, and eager to help us meet our ambitious goals. They took the time to understand our institutional culture, missions, and values. For them, it’s not enough to fill the position, it’s about finding the right institutional “fit.”
