 | “Although I have a lot of interviewing and hiring experience in my ‘day job,’ there were still so many search-related items with which I had no background. Our NETA partners helped me and the search committee with every one of those: answering any questions we had at any time; interviewing key stakeholders; writing a comprehensive job description; recruiting candidates (while drawing on their extensive public media network); assisting with interviews (both virtual semifinalists and in-person finalists); and negotiating a final contract. In my opinion, what was even more important was the advice and counsel that NETA provided throughout the recruitment, interviewing, and hiring process. Our consultants had so much lived experience in this area, and such deep knowledge of the public media landscape, that there was almost never a question or a hiccup that they hadn’t encountered before.” David Burke, board chair, Kansas City PBS |

One of the measures of performance we value the most at NETA Consulting is the trust our clients place in us. A top benchmark: clients who come back for additional engagements. As an example, here are comments from leaders at recent 'return' stations. | |
 | "To say that you went above and beyond for us would be an understatement! Your attention to detail, communication style, knowledge of public media, and overall professionalism was remarkable." - Dave Laverty, search committee co-chair, Rhode Island PBS and The Public’s Radio |

 | "I can't begin to explain the wonderful experience the NPT board had working with NETA. From the first phone inquiry to the selection of our CEO, Skip, Linda, and team did a magnificent job guiding us through the selection process. They listened to our needs, offered valuable insight, and went above and beyond to support the selection team." - Jeff Gregg, Nashville Public Television Board Chair |

 | "The Board of Louisiana Public Broadcasting was faced with a daunting task of replacing our CEO/Executive Director who had been in the position for four decades. The Board’s selection committee interviewed three executive search firms to assist with the job at hand and selected NETA Consulting. …Their team not only worked with us right up to the final selection but then continued with the follow-through process, all in a very professional manner. I think that I’m safe in saying that the LPB Board will immediately contact NETA Consulting should we be faced with replacing another executive in the future. - Conrad Comeaux, Chair of the Board, Louisiana Educational Television Authority |
