TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS

Scott Anthony (Blue Marble) is an invaluable search partner who I’ve had the pleasure of working with for nearly 20 years. Early in my tenure as SVP & Chief People Officer at Seattle Children’s I asked Blue Marble to lead the search for a newly created C-Suite executive role. Since then Scott has led a number of additional high profile, highly sensitive searches for key positions including Medical Directors, executive roles in Facilities, Compliance, Quality and People Operations to name a few. Working with Blue Marble in five different organizations spanning over two decades is the best testament possible around how much I trust Scott’s ability to source the very best talent for the organizations I am committed to. When I partner with Scott and his team I am confident they have the organization’s best interests at heart, and they will work seamlessly with my team to ensure a smooth and successful outcome.

"Several years ago, Scott from Blue Marble reached out to me to share the details of an opportunity for the inaugural Chief Data & Analytics Officer with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. I was immediately impressed with Scott’s approach and style. Not only was it apparent that he was intimately familiar with CHOP and the role but paramount was finding the best person and best fit for his client. He was not just looking to make a placement. Along with his personalized service and industry knowledge, this gave me the utmost confidence to trust him throughout the entire process from interviewing to offering negotiation to relocating my family to a new city. Ultimately, it was a life-changing decision and Scott was a trustworthy guide throughout the entire process.

For this reason, I continue to utilize Scott and his team at Blue Marble continue to be my search partner. In fact, they have had an indelible impact on my team and the entire organization. When I was promoted to SVP, CIO I turned to Scott to recruit my successor and a number of key leaders on my team. It’s of immense value to know when a search is in their hands, I can rest assured they are acting as stellar representatives of our organization, and I can count on honesty and a real dedication to delivering the best possible candidate.”

I had an excellent experience working with Scott to fill two critical executive positions on my team. Scott is the consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. He was comprehensive and thorough in finding highly qualified potential candidates and working with my assistant to line up interviews for the most promising ones. Characteristics that distinguished him as an excellent partner in executive search were his personal availability throughout the entire process, his genuine desire to help me find the person who was the perfect fit for the role (even if that means prolonging the search), and his patience and honesty with both me and the candidates as we narrowed the candidate pool and worked through offers and negotiation. The individuals that he helped us to find and recruit for these two positions are now widely regarded as transformational leaders in our organization.

As a candidate being recruited for a new role, I appreciated Scott's attention to detail, ensuring that the process advanced in a reasonable timeframe and with good communications throughout the process. His knowledge of the field, and experience with comparable recruitments was helpful in navigating the various issues that arose.

Dan Hyman, MD
Chief Quality & Safety Officer
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

The most important takeaway for me in my experience was the focus Scott placed on finding the right cultural fit for the position. Scott was very purposeful in our conversations in learning more about my values and passions. He was well prepared to discuss the needs of CHLA well beyond the degrees and certifications, but really focusing on the personality type that would be a fit for CHLA. I feel strongly that Scott and Blue Marble is the only choice for our next recruitment.

Director of Imaging Services
Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles

From day one it was apparent that Scott was looking for a win-win for both myself and his client. Scott was responsive and always made himself available. I felt Scott took the time to get to know me and was focused on the long term success of the placement and not just filling the role. I highly recommend Scott Anthony and Blue Marble Executive Search.
