“Carol’s experience with organized labor, non-profit and for-profit institutions, as well as her leadership in professional organizations, demonstrate her commitment to strengthening and enhancing this most respected profession. … Carol has been a strong mentor, offering her wealth of experience and skills to continually support and promote nurses, all to the benefit of improving patient care. It was my privilege to work with Carol not only in her role as chief nursing officer of a busy medical center, but as my preceptor in my graduate school leadership course. Every day, every meeting, was a demonstration of transformative leadership moving an organization forward.”

“When I heard that Carol Dilliplane was starting her own recruiting agency, I could only think what a wonderful fit. She inherently knows what various positions require, what competencies are necessary, and what appropriate personality traits various roles demand. When I worked under Carol, she fostered my growth, encouraged me to advance my education (doing what ever she could to make it easier), and assisted in advancing my career. Anyone looking for employment would be fortunate to have Carol take them as a client.”
Katherine Donnelly Fairbanks RN, BS, MS

“Given her many years in CNO positions, Carol has a comprehensive and current understanding of health care organizations’ needs, a thorough knowledge of the roles and requirements of nurse manager positions, and deep experience in recruitment and retention. No one understands better the role of nursing at both the staff and management levels and what it takes to be an effective nurse leader. … Recruiting facilities will find in her a dynamic thought partner to help them find high-performance managers. Candidates seeking positions will discover a trusted advisor, mentor, and resource.”
