What Clients are Saying:   Client Testimonial Letter        

“We just completed our search for a new CEO here in Monterey, Calif. Horizon Hospitality and Dave Nolan did an excellent job in securing top candidates and finding ‘the’ candidate for our convention and visitors bureau’s top spot. Our timeline was met with efficiency and the overall experience – from interviewing top quality candidates to working through pre-employment screening – was all top notch. Our volunteer leadership greatly appreciated the work and results Horizon and Dave provided. I would recommend Horizon for any executive search opportunity.”

Michael Oprish, Search Committee Chair, Monterey CVB

“My first contact with Horizon Hospitality was an e-mail and the response was almost immediate — and they took the time to call, not just respond via e-mail. It has been a great relationship since! Once we retained Horizon, Dave Nolan did spend a day and a half here in the Pacific Northwest meeting with us and touring the area to get a personal feel for the “lay of the land”. I feel very lucky to have ‘found’ Horizon Hospitality and am happy to recommend them to others in our industry.”

Teri Koerner, Executive Director, Forest Grove (Oregon) Chamber of Commerce

“Working with Horizon makes searching for a candidate easy. They are professional and thorough, and effectively interview applicants finding the top candidates that fit your specific qualifications. After three successful searches with Horizon, I highly recommended you work with their team to assist you with building your own. Dave Nolan was on top of our goals from day one. He was relentless with follow-through and attention to detail; nights, weekends, didn’t matter. Dave and Horizon were fun and efficient to work with.”

Brendan England GM, Myrtle Beach

From a candidate’s perspective Dave ensured I had all the information and opportunity I needed to ensure the fit with Monterey was a solid one before the offer came, and celebrated with me when it did.
