could have found on my own.

“In the recruiting realm, you don’t often discover a high performing team
that can consistently distribute value to your Operations in terms of
delivering top-notch talent. Carina and her team of executive recruiters
from the Whitham group, consistently deliver the highest caliber leaders
that instantaneously bring value to your organization.
I have had the pleasure of working with Carina as her client in my
pursuit of an employment opportunity. The executive job search can be
a daunting journey over the most perilous terrain for most if you don’t
have an experienced guide. When I launched my expedition, I
requested the most professional, experienced and talented team I
could- The Whitham Group led by Carina Whitham.
Carina relieved the stress from my employment transition with
extremely adept communication; providing guidance and updates
frequently to alert me to opportunities or tweaks to my approach. Her
professionalism and tireless work ethic set her apart from other
Executive recruiters by swiftly sourcing opportunities from her vast
network of relationships, which drastically reduced the duration of my
transition. Whenever I need to confidently fill a role with a top tier team
member or I am looking for opportunities personally, my first call is to
Carina and her team. “
“I’ve had the pleasure of working first
hand with Carina and you won’t find a
harder working more sincere
individual than her. She is very
thorough and detail oriented, which
means she picks up the little things
that make all the difference to making
great connections. Whether you’re an
employer looking for a great resource
to help you fill a critical need on your
team or, a skilled candidate looking
for a trusted partner to help you find
your next great adventure, you can
be confident in Carina and her firm to
find the perfect fit!”
“I was recruited by the Whitham
Group for an Executive Sales
position. I was treated with
respect from beginning to end of
the process. Whitham Group by
far is the most professional
search firm I have come across
and if I am ever in the market for
a position down the road, this is
the only firm I would call.”

“Carina sought out my skill set in the
renewable energy field. She
contacted me on a Saturday
afternoon. Little did I know that she
would change my life. She worked
tirelessly to accommodate my
needs and just happened to land me
my dream job. I cannot recommend
Carina's services enough. If I ever
find myself looking for another
source of employment, Carina will
be the first person I call. You can
trust that she will always deliver,
and I appreciate everything that the
Witham Group has done for my
career in the Solar Renewable
Industry.”
“I met Carina when I was looking for
a new position within the solar
industry. I was recruited by Whitham
Group who specializes in solar and
thanks to Carina I was introduced to
her vast network of invaluable
contacts. Carina’s ongoing coaching
and professional advice allowed me
to obtain a stellar position with one
of her firms’ clients. It was a
pleasure working with Whitham
Group and as one of their former
candidates, I strongly recommend
this search firm.”
“To say Carina's tireless dedication to
provide results and satisfaction is
nothing short of impressive; would be
an epic understatement. During my
experience with Carina and Whitham
Group as a whole, communication
was seamless and extremely
personable. I felt comfortable and
confident that Carina’s diligence and
expertise would match me with the
perfect company; and the Whitham
Group follow through absolutely
succeeded in just that. I often had
questions and every inquiry was
answered promptly via phone call or
email and sometimes both, (often long
after normal business hours).
Thank you Carina; for the absolute
top-notch performance and
communication.”
