It really was a pleasure to work with Josh, Ashley & team on our Controller search.  I’m not sure how much you’re privy to – but we were really in a bind with another search firm, and struggling to find the right candidates after nearly two months.

Josh had essentially “cold called” our CFO a while back, and I keep those contacts on the back burner, just in case.  Well, that case had arrived, plus I found it funny that I’ve just moved to the Twin Cities from Chicago, so that connection was unique.  I emailed Josh late on a Thursday afternoon – and by early Friday morning, we were on a Zoom call.  By Tuesday, he had handed the search over to Ashley, and by Wednesday I received the first candidate profile.

It was with the speed and attentiveness to what we were looking for that we quickly connected with our candidate – and were impressed with her experience and thrilled that she was in a position to move as quickly as we were.  Because of that expediency, there was a ton of communication required, and Ashley was up for it all (even through the holiday season) – email, text – she was so responsive.

So to put it succinctly, my first experience with SkyWater may have been on a whim (and out of frustration), but it certainly won’t be my last.  I’m super appreciative of the support throughout the process, and thrilled of the outcome.  Our new hire started this week, and is off to a great start.
