"I really enjoyed working with the CAI team. They took the time to get to know us and what we needed in the role. The network you have is something we can’t replicate. So is the credibility you bring when you reach out to folks. By working with CAI, we got strong potential candidates that were 100 times better than what we could have done on our own.”
