Testimonials

Kathi and her team know our business, understand our staffing needs, and work tirelessly to help us find top legal talent! Kathi has been instrumental in matching highly-skilled and experienced candidates with our Deckers legal team to help us fill key positions on our team. I trust and highly recommend the Whalen Bryan team!

Kathi Whalen has been supplying my firm (and my former firm) for at least the last 25 years. We have had several great candidates come through our doors and the hires have been solid. Kathi knows her business and, more importantly to me, knows our business.
