Melissa (Missy) Johnson Garner, CCP, SPHR

It is my pleasure to recommend the executive recruiting services of Dana Cosby. As a former candidate who was placed by Dana, I can attest to the extensive effort that Dana is willing to put forth to know you, to understand your career and personal goals and to find an opportunity that is well-aligned. As an HR professional working at a client organization, let me add that Dana exhibits the highest level of professionalism, takes pride in presenting well-qualified candidates who are also well-prepared for the interview experience and work environment. Being a business and HR professional, Dana quickly identifies the organization's pain and works diligently to identify candidates who fit the bill. She has a large network from which to draw and a honed ability to market your company and your opportunity in order to attract high caliber talent in a very tough recruiting market. Your organization will be well-served by partnering with Dana and her team.

I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to know Dana for several years and work with her in the HR field. Dana is one of the most energetic and intelligent people I know. She has the ability to think "outside the box" and not only recommend solutions to difficult issues, but also to bring them to fruition. She has been instrumental in helping me fill openings with qualified candidates through recruiting activities when others have failed. I would not hesitate to recommend Dana for a position in or partnering with any organization in these capacities!
