Your Path Forward Starts Here.

“We just completed our search for a new CEO here in Monterey, Calif. Dave Nolan did an excellent job in securing top candidates and 

finding 'the' candidate for our convention and visitors bureau's top spot. Our timeline was met with efficiency, and the overall experience - from interviewing top 

quality candidates to working through pre-employment screening - was all top-notch. Our volunteer leadership greatly appreciated the work and results 

Dave provided. I would recommend Dave for any executive search opportunity.”

"My first contact with Dave was an e-mail, and the response was almost immediate -- and they took the time to call, not just respond via e-mail. It has 

been a great relationship since! Once we retained Dave Nola,n did spend a day and a half here in the Pacific Northwest meeting with us and touring the area to 

get a personal feel for the "lay of the land". I feel very lucky to have 'found' Dave and am happy to recommend them to others in our industry." 

"Dave's exceptional network and confidence in the type of leader we needed allowed us to move through the process with optimism and courage. His advice and 

counsel along the way helped to keep us grounded nd to successfully navigate some of the inevitable political storms surrounding any search for a new CEO. I would 

highly recommend Dave and Dave for your professional search needs, especially in the world of CVBs, Chambers, and other similar organizations."

"As Chair for Visit Oakland, I would like to commend Dave Nolan for the professional approach and result achieved in our quest to secure a 

top-notch CEO for our convention bureau. We are thrilled with our selection, and Dave greatly assisted us by reviewing candidates from across the Country. The 

technology used saved time and money. Our committee gained valuable insight into the CVB culture, which proved crucial to selecting the right candidate. 

Dave was on time and on budget, and made the engagement fun. Our entire committee became united with a renewed sense of excitement for the future as a result of 

Dave's search process. I would highly recommend Dave and Horizon for any search engagement." 

"Dave Nolan and the team were an exceptional resource through the hiring process. Communications were thorough and frequent, and questions or concerns 

I had been addressed immediately. From a candidate's perspective, Dave ensured I had all the information and opportunity I needed to ensure the fit with Monterey was 

a solid one before the offer came, and celebrated with me when it did. Dave did an excellent job of representing both the search committee and the candidates."  

"I have recently had the opportunity to work with Dave on a search and was struck by the way that Dave Nolan really takes the time to qualify the candidates, but 

more importantly, to qualify the particular opportunity as a match for each candidate. I have worked with other search firms in both Canada and the USA, as an 

employer and as an employee, and the experience with Horizon stands out as one of the best I've encountered. During my experience, I never felt rushed. Dave always 

made himself available, and I never felt that I was handed off to "a team" during the process. It is a very authentic, thorough, and professional approach that I 

appreciate - and I think results in excellent placements with strong retention."
