Madison Berney

Director, Executive Recruiting at Creative Financial Staffing (CFS)

I joined Diane’s team in 2013 without a drop of recruiting experience. Diane took me under her wing and within just a few months, I was producing at the same level as CFS’ top recruiters. Diane is incredible to watch – she can juggle what should be an overwhelming amount of candidates and clients with ease. Her clients, candidates, and employees all love and respect her. Diane’s energy and drive are absolutely contagious – these qualities make it incredibly easy to work and partner with (either internally or as a client/candidate) . Diane ensures that each person she speaks to feels like they are the most important person she is going to talk to all day. Truly, she is an exceptional talent and an asset to the CFS family. I am incredibly thankful to have worked under Diane and have no doubt that she is one of the biggest contributors to my success as an Executive Recruiter. Thank you for everything, Diane!

I have been working with Diane for a number of years. She is very good at keeping me informed of the high quality candidates she represents and that she believes would be a fit for my organization without being pushy or overly aggressive. The candidates that Diane presents that we have interviewed have all been good quality candidates and none have been viewed as a mis-match for our group or a waste of our time. This is only accomplished by a recruiter that takes the time to know what I need in terms of technical and personality attributes to make a good match. I highly recommend Diane for your professional recruiting needs.

Scott Hubert
Controller at CFI Mechanical, Inc
Diane takes the time to understand her clients and works harder on fulfilling their needs rather than her pocketbook. As a candidate, she and her team find the unique aspects about the client and work to place that candidate in a position that will be intrinsically rewarding and challenging. While some in her industry treat you as a number and hope you’ll return in 12 months to redeem more fees, Diane takes a personal interest and uses both creativity and her long list of contacts to give the candidate options and a sense of confidence in finding the right position. Things do not change on the other side of the table. As an employer, the candidates that Diane presents are always exceptional. She has an uncanny ability to send the right candidates in for interviews. Diane does NOT waste the employers time by throwing random candidates at you and hoping that one will stick. Most importantly, I’ve found that Diane is not pushy and respects that you are the decision maker and she does not try to force the point. She also is very good about keeping you in the loop with feedback, status and input as to the right candidates to fill an open position. On a personal and professional level, my company and I have been nothing but impressed with the services that Diane and the fantastic CFS team have provided. We feel guilty at times as if we might be underpaying her for such a great job! Thanks Diane!

Sr. Accountant at Westlake Chemical Corporation

She took the time to understand my needs and wants, which translated into quality job leads.She is easy to work with and kept me updated on any opportunities that fit my needs. I rarely needed to contact her for updates.After dealing with several recruiters, I would recommend Diane as the easiest and most reliable to work with.

Holly Palmer
Senior Manager – Technical Accounting and SEC Reporting at Weatherford
Diane is one of the few recruiters that service the Houston Area that actually listens and cares about both what the candidate AND the client want. She will not try to force employment positions on her applicants just to receive placement fees. Instead, she really tries to match the interviewee with the company, so that there can be a long-term employment relationship and career path, as opposed to a temporary job post. Another thing that sets Diane apart and above the competition is the continuing help and support that she provides. She sends out monthly newsletters that help keep her current and former candidates abreast of the current market situation, and provides invaluable professional feedback on top companies and opportunities

Chuck Conner, CPC
Director of Client Services at Pinnacle Accounting and Finance
I have had the pleasure of knowing Diane for several years now. She is the consumate professional and has all the skills you would look for in an executive recruiter. She is bright, honest, well connected, confidential, personable and determined. If I were an employer in the Houston area, I would definitely align myself with Diane.

Rick Bowers

Diane does a great job screening potential applicants so that I don’t have to waste a lot of time going through a lot of resumes. We have hired several individuals brought to us by Diane, and we have been very pleased with each one of them. I highly recommend Diane.

Robyn Rice

I have recently had the pleasure of working with Diane and the group at CFS and discovered she is not just another “agency recruiter “, but rather belongs to an elite team of specialists that work hard to put the right people in the right positions – a combination that results in a level of customer & employee satisfaction that is unmatched in our industry. Recruiters often talk about relationships, but don’t always build them. Diane does!
I met Diane when I was looking for a new career direction in early 2005. Diane was the only recruiter I was working with that really understood my needs. There were several opportunities she had available with very good salaries, but Diane was very straight-forward about them not matching the less tangible things I was looking for. With Diane’s guidance I was able to prioritize my needs and make a fully informed decision. Which turned out not to be one of the companies Diane introduced me to. Yet, Diane was supportive and has stayed in contact while all the other recruiters have disappeared now that I am not actively looking.
While I don’t intend on needing her help anytime soon, I sure would like to work with her again. If you have the opportunity to work with Diane, I encourage you to take it.”
