“Deffet Group provided stellar service throughout our search for a President/CEO. Their knowledge and understanding of the senior living space, and of the people within that space, were invaluable to us. They consistently demonstrated their overarching goal was to assist us in finding the best possible candidate – which they did. They were generous with their time, wisdom, and counsel. Their integrity shines through everything they do. They enabled our Search Committee to do its work more efficiently and more effectively than we could have done on our own. They led us through the search process in a genuine and facilitative way – never pushy and always helpful. They were a critical part of, and a respected voice in, meetings and conversations. They also are wonderfully enjoyable people. The value they provide is outstanding. I recommend them without reservation.”
