BIOGRAPHY: Marilyn Hoffman has been successfully placing professionals at museums and nonprofits since 2002. Her extensive national networks have grown rapidly, along with her firm. Hoffman had a 26-year museum career, capped by 18 years as a successful and respected museum director. “We were pleased with the process. As [Search] Committee Chair, I felt there was good communication and I was appropriately involved in each phase. The diligence and thoroughness of the interviews and research leading up to the job definition and development of selection criteria was particularly impressive. We were provided a good pool of candidates that was geographically and experientially diverse and we are happy with our selection. Although times are tight, I thought the cost was very reasonable and the money well spent.” --Paul Eddy, Chair, Search Committee and Vice President, Board of Governors, Hill-Stead Museum "I can't possibly say enough about the value of your services except to say they were invaluable. Without your help, I would have spent hours trying to devise the "right" questions to obtain the answers I needed, more hours on the phone, and most likely wouldn't have come anywhere close to the amount of information you discovered about each candidate. I think your insight, your questions and your suggestions were right on target, and we found the right person for the job. Thank you!" --Martha Anderson, Director, Community Caregivers |
