The Buzz About Epitome…


From Clients

Epitome has helped fill multiple senior & executive searches for our company - a fast-moving and demanding startup - and we keep going back to them to help as we grow - great partners!
— Colin Van Ostern, President & COO (Alumni Ventures Group)
I worked with Epitome to hire two mission-critical team members for our growth stage healthcare tech company: a Head of Talent in SF and a specialist Controller in NYC. They are professional, organized, and collaborative partners who excel at understanding the business objectives and must haves for leadership roles.
— CHRO, Healthcare Tech growth company
What I value most about Epitome is that you put our company first and, in fact, it sets you apart from some other firms we’ve worked with. I trust that you have our best interests in mind and you’ve proven it with the talent you’ve brought to us
— CEO of Healthcare company
Kristen is a strong strategic partner with an extremely high bar and an intuition for talent. Until Epitome jumped in, our Head of Finance role had been open for longer than we wanted. She moved the ball very quickly and found us the person we needed to take the business to the next level.

From Candidates

Kristen Cullen Forti is one of the best recruiters I have worked with.

— Finance Executive who was placed by Epitome
I felt Danielle was extremely professional, and given her background in management consulting, she had the real business experience to understand my questions/concerns and to help position these to management. This made the process more effective than a traditional recruiting background would have been able to do. I imagine it also helped with better communication between myself and the company.
— Marketing executive who was placed by Epitome at a multi-unit healthcare company
Mitra Morgan was invaluable throughout the recruitment process. She provided tremendous background on the company and each individual I would be interviewing with and other key people within the organization. As each round of interview approached she was fantastic at coaching me with the types of questions I should expect, the areas of concern each interviewer would have about my candidacy and the experiences and capabilities I should highlight. Mitra was critical to my successful candidacy.
— Finance executive who was placed by Epitome at a venture capital firm
Cheoma and Kristen were wonderful to work with. They listened, were open and honest, and provided great support throughout the process. I found the perfect job!
— General Counsel who was placed by Epitome at a venture capital firm
I have never been part of the job hiring process where the executive recruiter had an in-depth understanding of my future goals and aspirations aligned with the expectations and needs of the company. I am grateful for the partnership and the collaboration between all the parties, but especially for the coaching and the encouragement I was given throughout the process. That’s the Epitome competitive advantage.
