Benchmark Consulting

My experience with Benchmark Consulting has been nothing but positive. Dawn is extremely helpful, and she takes-​on her candidates/​searches with a sincere and honest interest in the best solution for everyone. I sincerely trust and highly recommend Benchmark Consulting.

This is easily the best recruiter for all things wine related in the wine industry. The team at Benchmark Consulting is professional — but go beyond that in being smart, acccomodating, and thorough with their interviews.
No — I did not get the job, but Dawn realized as well as I did, that the employers and I did not match up personality wise. She was easy to talk too and seemed to really understand my drive and dedication to what I do.
I HIGHLY Recommend and have recommended them to everyone I know looking for a position in the wine industry.

Benchmark is not closed they have relocated to downtown Napa.
I’ve worked with Dawn and Benchmark and I have to say I am extremely impressed with how connected and respected Dawn is in the industry. She has been in the industry for 20 years and it is revealed through her knowledge base, and contacts. «Her finger is definitely on the industries pulse.»
She understands the placement needs of those that use her services and will work diligently to meet those needs in a very professional and thorough way to obtain a «win/​win» for all. I respect that as so many recruiting/​placement firms have lost this touch in today’s day and age.
I have to say if your seeking the best representation in the industry and want a firm that has their finger on the pulse and is highly respected I would recommend calling Dawn at Benchmark for your needs.

I have worked with Dawn and have been placed into two very well paying executive positions. Dawn is professional, direct, and gives great council to her clients. I would go back to Dawn in a heartbeat if I were look looking for career opportunity.

OPEN, OPEN, OPEN.
I have worked with Benchmark on numerous occasions over the past 10+ years. Not only are they fantastic and professional but they are so NOT closed.

Dawn Wofford is a mystery. How could a recruiter survive without knowing how to return a phone call or email? There have to be better options out there. Would love to hear from anyone who has had a positive experience with her, because nobody I know who has worked with her has.
She does not understand that candidates are just as important in her business as are employers. You cannot earn a commission unless you have candidates to place.
I’d rather be unemployed.
