Search With
Clarity and Intent

CB & Associates approaches high-touch recruiting as a strategic process, not a transactional one. The firm works closely with clients to understand the business need, define the leadership gap, and shape the search around the outcome that matters most. That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

I worked with Cindy for several years while at Contessa. Cindy always made an effort to really understand what it was that we were looking for with each position and only provide resumes for qualified candidates. She took the time to personally screen each candidate before referring them to us. Cindy was a great recruiter and partner for all types of positions. I would recommend Cindy if you are looking for an honest, hard working, trustworthy, and caring recruiter

Cindy is one of the most hard working and persistent recruiters I've met. From the first time we spoke about a prospective job, she guided me through the whole process day by day, literally. I was unemployed at the time, but Cindy really brightened my outlook on my job search. She gave me the positivity to successfully interview and was the true mediator between myself and the hiring company. Cindy genuinely cares about getting her candidates hired with the right company.

Cindy is one of the best recruiters I have ever known. As a Human Resources manager, I relied on her expertise for over 20 years, and today, I am proud to call her a friend. Cindy's honesty, warmth, and genuine care for people have always stood out. Throughout my career as an HR practitioner—from Manager to VP in the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution sectors with companies like CalComp, Springs Industries, and Vans—Cindy was an invaluable asset. She consistently made me look good by bringing in the right people, even before the era of the Internet!
