“Lisa Wolf has been my go-to partner for many years. What sets Lisa and her team apart from traditional search firms is the time spent getting to really know your company, your goals, and your personal style as a leader to ensure they bring forward candidates that are not only vetted for capability fit, but also for cultural fit for the long term. They spend an exhaustive amount of time getting to know the business and more importantly, in getting to know and preparing the candidates to ensure the optimal fit can be determined. I've come to rely on Lisa and her team for more than building my teams, but also in assessing employer brand perception in the industry and providing valuable insights as we continue to build our high performing entrepreneurial culture. Bottom line—Lisa and her team are food industry recruiting experts. They get me and my vision. Working with them is a special experience.”

Justin Erickson

CEO and Owner
Harbor Food Group

"I worked closely with Lisa Wolf to help us identify the right President to replace the beloved leader of our regional broadline foodservice business. We interviewed a number of recruiters and felt that Lisa truly understood the importance of cultural fit and would work harder than others to identify the right leader. Lisa wasn’t out to “close the deal,” she was determined to find the right person, regardless of the time & effort required. I would hire Lisa for future Executive Search, and whole heartedly recommend her to others in the food industry and beyond."

Having previously worked with the Wolf team, I had 100% confidence that they would get it done right the first time."
