I’ve worked with accelHRate on several searches over the years, and their deep understanding of the HR field, extensive network of candidates, and streamlined process have led to multiple successful placements. This is a fantastic organization to collaborate with for HR searches.

Wendy Livingston

Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer, JELD-WEN

Team accelHRate provided a high caliber candidate experience. After successful CHRO roles, my next move needed to be right in every sense. I was not looking but received a call from accelHRate about an opportunity that was particularly intriguing to me – the chance to help take a tech company public and be back closer to home. I met Kim Shanahan almost 10 years ago and have been following accelHRate’s growth trajectory. The Tenable Chief People Officer search was the first time I experienced their partnership first hand as a candidate and now placement. They really took the time to understand me and assess my capabilities to ensure I was the right fit for their client and the role was the right fit for me. We did, in fact, take the company public and we are on a great growth trajectory. It is no surprise that accelHRate has built a reputation as a world class firm.
