Testimonials from Our Clients

Calderwood Search has proven to be an exceptionally professional and thorough executive search partner

Ryan Smyth

EVP & CFO, Carbon60

I have worked closely with Scott on recruitment in 2 different companies. Many executive recruiters are focused on the short-term transaction at hand. Scott’s differentiator is that while he does meet and exceed the current needs of his clients, he does so with a view to creating long-term relationships and value.

CEO, Offworld Industries

Calderwood Search has proven to be an exceptionally professional and thorough executive search partner.
