    Client, Hill Country Conservancy

  • My experience with SCION was great. They did good background work on learning about our organization structure, culture and personnel, as well as our community. Braden was very professional, yet personable, good to work with, did what he said he would in a timely manner. We got some excellent candidates and the committee felt like we did our due diligence in the process.
