Controller-Law Firm

As the Director of Human Resources, I have worked in three law firms and have dealt with a number of search firms over the years. When confronted with an opening for our Corporate Controller position, I was recommended to contact Fenway Consulting Group since they specialize in performing senior level finance and accounting searches.

At our initial meeting it was quite obvious they had a true command of the talent base in the Boston market and that they were well connected to the types of individuals we were looking to hire. The bottom line is that they were very professional in their approach, effectively assessed our corporate culture after only two visits with our CFO, and consequently filled the position in record time after presenting only a few qualified candidates. Their methodology of blending a retained search approach with the speed, focus and efficiency of a contingency firm was exactly what we needed.

CFO-Medical Instrument Company

One of our angel investors recommended using Fenway Consulting Group because of his success over the years in working with them to fill high profile CFO positions in his portfolio companies. Not only was their approach outstanding as they helped me create a position description that the executive team could agree upon but they also presented four fine candidates within weeks of signing an engagement letter. In fact the individual we hired was an individual they mentioned the first day we met. It was clear from the start that they were deeply connected with the technology community in Boston and their contacts in both VC funded and public technology companies was extraordinary. They took the time to fully understand the personalities of our executive team and their assessment was right on target. Our new CFO was on board within 30 days of Fenway accepting the engagement.

CFO-High Profile Real Estate Developer

We were under a very tight time constraint to bring in a new CFO for our diversified real estate company. Having worked with the principals of Fenway over the years I knew they were the ideal choice because of their sense of urgency and unique ability to reach a wide variety of qualified candidates in a very short period of time. It was a challenging assignment because we are a family-held business and, as a result, the match had to be more than qualifications on a resume - the chemistry, the fit had to be on a very trusted personal level.

After meeting with the Fenway’s three partners, both the members of the management team and the accounting staff saw it was apparent that our search had to satisfy a diverse set of criteria and personal perspectives. Within five weeks Fenway presented several qualified candidates and we instantly knew we had the perfect fit with one of them who came from a comparable background and environment as ours. Fenway played a pivotal role in the creation of the financial package that we offered the candidate making the entire experience a very positive one for us. We highly recommend Fenway without any question….they have proved to me time after time that are the most talented search professionals in Boston.

Director of Human Resources-Software Developer

Being faced with an unexpected resignation of our Human Resource Manager, my CFO recommended we engage Fenway Consulting to find us a senior level HR professional. Since the HR function actually reports to the CFO in many companies, it was his advice that Fenway would be better connected and be more objective than hiring a firm that only placed HR professionals. His advice was right on as we were successful in filling the position within 6 weeks with a candidate that a CFO from another software company had referred to Fenway. They asked the right questions and assessed the cultural fit extremely well. It was a very efficient search and our new Director of Human Resources is performing beyond our expectations. Fenway Consulting delivered what we expected…and then some.
