Kenyatta Uzzell and POLIHIRE have become a trusted partner that I’ve used in multiple communities ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 residents, successfully leading searches for Fire Chief, Police Chief, and Labor Commissioner. POLIHIRE came equipped with a deep understanding of the intricacies of identifying leadership for local government. I highly recommend them to any public agency or organization.
