Hear From Our Clients

Rahoul Seth
SVP, CFO & CAO, Adchemy

VF&Co did an excellent job finding us a high caliber VP of HR and did so in a very short period of time. All the candidates they presented to us were strong; they were each of such high quality that it was difficult to make a final choice. They suggested I meet with a specific candidate whose industry background did not meet our initial criteria. That candidate was outstanding and we ended up hiring her. I highly recommend VF&Co and have already done so to numerous board members and venture capitalists.

Maynard Webb
Former Chairman & CEO, LiveOps
Founder, Webb Investment Network

We selected Valerie Frederickson & Company to conduct a VPHR search. They did so successfully, with great urgency, and exceeded my expectations in terms of timing. I was delighted!

Jerry Chase
CEO, Lantronix

You are in good hands with Valerie. She brings a lot of energy, urgency and personal attention to her engagements. Valerie is people-oriented by nature and we received regular formal and informal communications during the process. We were presented a number of highly-qualified candidates and Valerie helped us land the one we wanted. I am very happy with our own VPHR search process and the results.

Kaye Foster-Cheek
Senior VPHR, Onyx Pharmaceuticals

We needed to hire a sophisticated, strategic and emotionally-mature Director of Talent Acquisition to help us double the company in the next 18 months. Valerie Frederickson & Company presented us with several on-target, highly-qualified candidates within three weeks and was extremely responsive throughout the search. The entire process was seamless and the search team worked with a real sense of urgency. I'll hire them again to help build my HR team and I'm already recommending them to my colleagues.

Jim Sjoerdsma
Senior VPHR, Genencor, a Danisco company

The VF&Co team is great. I'm really happy with Valerie and impressed with whom she's got on the search team. I met with a lot of firms and I like the structure, process and results that VF&Co embodied.

Nancy Barrett
Former VPHR, LiveOps
Consultant, Webb Investment Network

I thoroughly checked VF&Co's references before hiring them, with a particular focus on speed, expertise, and client-focus. All the references came back strong. They performed very well on our search at LiveOps and lived up to their great reputation. If you need a difficult HR executie search done quickly and with a high performing candidate pool, you'll be in good hands with the VF&Co group.

Rosalind Hill
Senior HR Director, Synaptics

Valerie's search team conducted two critical HR searches for me recently and, in approximately a week, presented me with two small slates of diverse and high-performing candidates to choose from. Needless to say, they listened to my needs and delivered well. I'm very happy with the results and could not be more pleased with the new HR team helping with our business.

Paul Taira
Director of Compensation Programs, Logitech

The VF&Co executive search team ran my Senior Compensation Manager search well and I was extremely pleased with their process, diligence and performance. All of the candidates were technically strong and the cultural fit among the top candidates was spot on. We ended up hiring a great candidate and I'm very pleased with the results.

Rusty Rueff

As the world's leading interactive entertainment software company, we choose recruiting partners known for great results and just as importantly, a great reputation with candidates. Valerie Frederickson & Company live up to their fabulous reputation of excellent service and support and go above and beyond for both companies and their candidates.

Laurie Brown
VPHR, Cepheid

We needed to fill a key position yesterday. Within 18 hours of signing the contract with Valerie, they presented two qualified candidates, one of which we hired immediately. Not only was VF&Co highly responsive, ultra professional, and produced outstanding results, but they were really fun to work with.

Karen Kramer
General Counsel, Miltenyi Biotec DE

I hired Valerie Frederickson & Company remotely from Germany to conduct a critical, difficult to find search for us. Not only did they do it quickly and extremely well, but the strategic advice and support they provided was priceless. I greatly appreciated their caring and fast responses and am now continuing to depend on them for on-going consulting work.

John Kunze
Former CEO, Plumtree
CEO, Xoom Corporation

Valerie Frederickson & Company partnered with us on a critical search to find the right human resource executive for our culture, and stayed right there with us until we came to an outcome we deemed successful. They supported us throughout the process and ensured that we hired a candidate who could add value to our organization. Their patience, dedication, vast network of HR candidates, and understanding of the HR function are excellent. I recommend them highly.

Jeff Van Zanten
CFO, Coverity

I have used Valerie and her firm a couple of times, and both times have been very pleased and impressed. Valerie runs a very professional firm, taking charge of the search while letting her key players contribute appropriately. My search was not particularly urgent, but Valerie instilled a sense of urgency on her team that I appreciated. They grilled me mercilessly for deep detail on what I wanted, interrelationships in the company, what I liked and didn't like, and then within a couple of weeks provided me with four qualified candidates. I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them highly.

Sal Faletta
