mainstay in the San Diego recruiting community. Cindy spends the time
to fully understand both candidate and client needs, and never fails to
deliver on her quality commitment."

"I have worked with Cindy for over ten years and have found that she
consistently identifies the most qualified candidates for even the most
challenging positions. She invests in her clients up front to gain a
thorough understanding of the position as well as the company's
operations and organizational structure. Cindy remains keenly aware of
changes in the marketplace and with that, the ever changing job
specifications and the evolving skill sets of prospective
employees in the San Diego area. In addition, Cindy's loyalty &
insight into the San Diego community allows her access to individuals
that other recruiters are not offered."

pleasure of working with The Hire Alternative for a number of years in
my last two roles as a financial executive. Cindy has successfully
filled my most challenging assignments for mid and senior level finance
talent. She is consistently professional, forthright and able to sift
out that elusive 'needle in a haystack'. She will always be our top
choice for locating the best finance and accounting talent."

Lynette Bowman, VP Human Resources - Pacira Pharmaceuticals
"Cindy stands
alone in her ability to asses the company/department culture and then
uses that insight to identify candidates who are not only technically
qualified, but who will also have a good 'fit' within the company and
department. This translates into a more efficient and effective
recruiting process and more importantly, results in successful long
term placements."
Meg McGilley, CFO - Somaxon Pharmaceuticals
"The Hire
Alternative has an excellent reputation in the business community and
Cindy has outstanding relationships with her clients and candidates.
Importantly, she fills key open positions with top performers very
quickly. She does not overwhelm the hiring manager with dozens of
resumes. Rather, she focuses on a few select candidates and provides
candid analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each, to assist with
ultimately arriving at the right hiring decision."
Tony Rogers, Chief Financial Officer - Senomyx, Inc.
"The Hire Alternative has been instrumental in filling a number of key positions for me on both the Human Resources and Finance sides of the companies I've worked with.

I would highly recommend her and will personally continue to work with her for many years."
Connie Garrett, SPHR VP Global Human Resources - Genoptix
" I would recommend Cindy and The Hire Alternative above any other recruiter that I've worked with."
Jill Church, CFO - Vical, Inc.
“ Cindy is one of the truly unique recruiters who actually finds highly qualified candidates who meet your needs instead of just e-mailing resumes of people looking for jobs. She has helped me fill multiple positions in accounting and HR, and every person I have ever hired through her has been outstanding. No one has the time to replace bad hires in this day and age. Cindy insures that won’t happen with her candidates.”
John P. Schmid, CFO - Trius Therapeutics
“Cindy
provides a tremendous amount of expertise, insight and more
importantly, trust, which are all key elements required in recruiting.
Further, I certainly rely on Cindy's judgment and feedback throughout
the entire recruiting process. Cindy does not recruit any
candidate...she recruits the right candidate.”
Cory Lancaster, VP Finance, Americas - ResMed, Inc.
“
What separates Cindy from other recruiters is her aptitude to
understand her clients and their needs to ensure the right fit.
In a marketplace that is always challenging in finding the best talent,
Cindy consistently delivers.”
