“I am pleased to provide my enthusiastic recommendation for Tensie J. Taylor.

My Princples

Listen

I pride myself on being an active, engaged, and attentive listener. While listening, I not only listen to the words people are saying, but I also read body language and intonations and inflections in their voices to sense if I need to delve further into a question or issue.

Learn

I have a penchant for learning. I make sure to take the information I learn to make the best and most-informed decision. It is a joy to learn about people’s backgrounds, skillsets, and experiences to make sure I am addressing my clients’ needs.

Laugh

In our society today, there is much turmoil transpiring. Because of this, I try to find the positives in situations, and laughter is always good for this. I bring laughter to my clients and candidates to provide a comfortable and easygoing environment.

“Tensie possesses a rare combination of expertise in the executive search field and a deep understanding of the intricacies of higher education leadership. She has an uncanny ability to identify top talent and match candidates with the specific needs and culture of the organizations she serves.”

"When Tensie approached me about a position, I saw how thoughtful and intentional her message was. She took the time to thoroughly review my profile and resume. Throughout the multiple rounds of interviews, Tensie maintained transparency, communicated regularly, and treated me with respect. Navigating through numerous interview stages is never fun, but the kindness and compassion she showed made a significant difference. I can unequivocally say that my success in landing my new role would not have been possible without her support and guidance."

I first met Tensie when I was applying for my current role, Executive Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations at North Carolina State University. I have worked with search consultants in the past, but never with anyone as prepared, organized, and welcoming as Tensie."
