Worst interim experience I ever had some woman I never heard called to discuss isdues and see was not not operating on 4 cylinders. Do not recommend if you have any self respect. You are a piece of meat

Critical: Professionalism Like a lot of headhunters, they speak with you, and say they are are speaking with a company, and will get back to you. Then they ghost you. Not a real value proposition; they are are like most of the other firms. Don't expect much.

A quality employer because they have quality, compassionate and talented team members in every position. They take care of me so that I can take care of my client.

Always supportive and readily available to answer any questions. I have been on travel assignment with them for a year now and I would highly recommend BE Smith if you are considering interim leadership roles

Dishonest firm. They will never tell you that you are the 5th consultant working with a client who is never satisfied. If they recruit you for South Georgia Medical, run for your life!
