John Wallin

“Our work with John Wallin began with a CFO search while he was with A.T. Kearney. I was then President of Community Education Partners. (At the time of that search, the company’s revenues were about $30 million annually with operations in Houston, Dallas, and Philadelphia.) Our association with John continued at J.C. Wallin and O'Shea Divine where he recruited our COO, and yet another CFO. (At that time, the company had almost tripled in size from the first search.) John also recruited numerous regional academic and operations executives for the company. I recall quite well that John took the time to understand the company and our unique business model and needs. He very efficiently identified the key leaders we needed to scale the company’s operation. I highly recommend him and know him to be a very dedicated and effective team-building collaborator. I now consider John Wallin a good friend.”

“John helped bring the senior management team into four companies where I had involvement. I found John to be professional, client service oriented, and ultimately successful in identifying the right people who had both skills and the right cultural fit for our teams.”

“We worked with John over several years for many different positions, from Board Members to VPs. John is very professional, fun to work with and always found good candidates. I would use him again without hesitation. He also worked with a few of my CEOs over the years.”

“I recruited John for the Board of Orange County Innovation and later got him elected to a leadership position because I was impressed with his knowledge of the local business community, his thoughtfulness, his ability to work with others and his dedication to improving the business environment. Later I was recruited by John for an executive position for Community Education Partners. John is a consummate professional: highly skilled, very insightful, thorough in his approach and a delightful person to with whom to work.”

“aJohn has impressed me for many years as an Executrive Recruiter and someone that is able to match people with the client's assets. He has very high integrity and is always willing to offer suggestions and assistance. John is one of those people that can be counted on to do what he says. John is smart and at the same time, has a great sense of humor and has become a good friend.”

“I have known John for about 5 years and regard him very highly. John knows the HR space real well and has a savvy for staffing and recruiting. In addition to this, John is a sincere and honest professional with a great work ethic. I recommend him highly!”
