As a consultant focused on financial and operations performance, the terms cost-effective, professional, and performance-driven are words I take very seriously and also exactly how I would describe working with the team at Ashton.

Her presentations are extremely thorough and thought provoking for her audience. Every presentation has been very well received.
With regard to the search services, Barbara takes the time to make sure that there is a clear understanding of what is needed in the job function sought, and the organization’s culture that the individual is to be hired into. The intent is to ensure that there are no surprises for either the client or the new employee and that there is both a skill and cultural fit.
I highly recommend Barbara for both presentations on best hiring practices and search services.

Here’s where you start, and finish!
Barbara Ashton is the consummate professional recruiter, and one who doesn’t pull any punches. Employers, and her recruits equally rave about their experience in her hands, and her delivery on the stated hiring goals and objectives. She’s always at the top of her game, and genuinely cares about the well-being of all whom she comes into contact with.
Whether you’re an employer who already uses recruiters, or you’re new to using these essential business services, she should be on the front of your contact list.
Barbara is definitely at the top of my list as someone you should be connected with. You’ll be happy you are.
