When it came time for us to launch the search for our Director of Budget and Finance we knew we needed someone with a clear understanding of the nuances of the independent school business office, and that is exactly what we found in Big Back Pack.  Hacker and his team took the time to gain a deep understanding not only of the technical aspects of the role, but also of the culture of the school and our team.  His direct approach to search--actively getting out into the market and bringing the role to the attention of people who otherwise might not have found us and who we most likely wouldn't have found on our own via the traditional channels--resulted in us hiring the perfect fit for our team.  The process was clean, the candidate pool was deep, and Hacker and his team did a great job of taking the heavy lifting of hiring off of us from start to finish.
