What our clients say

  • Having worked with Catapult over the last 5 years, it is clear to me that they are BEST IN CLASS for organizational development, strategic planning, executive coaching and recruitment. I consider Catapult as a partner in our business and I lean on them for most of my organizational development initiatives.

    Catapult listens intently and spends time up front to diagnose before proposing scope of work and solutions. Their span and depth of experience allows them to tailor solutions to the client’s specific needs. I am confident that during initial stages of engagement that I will not get just an “off the shelf” proposal.

    Chief Executive Officer, North Forest Office Space

  • The performance of Catapult was simply outstanding. We could not have been more satisfied with the advice and counsel provided during their engagement. Led by Catapult co-president, Marsha Koelmel, we felt from the onset that we were in expert hands. For us, the key factor that differentiated Catapult from the other firms we considered, was their genuine interest in working first to understand our priorities, preferences, and concerns. Marsha and her team put us in the driver’s seat from the start and provided responsive guidance that fit our needs perfectly. And the result of the search underscores the success of the entire search process – we are extremely satisfied with our new CEO and we feel strongly that Marsha and her team were highly effective in navigating the waters that brought her to us. You can be entirely confident placing your trust in Catapult. I would hire them again in a nanosecond.

  • Wow! What a great team at Catapult! They implemented the tools necessary to identify my strengths and development opportunities, they knew how to analyze the results and they helped me improve as a leader but also as an individual. The individual coaching was a personal game-changer, it will be engraved in my mind forever. The name “Catapult” is clearly the right word for that experience!

    Guillaume Bouvier

    Vice President of Operations, Cascades Tissue Group

  • We worked with Catapult to have an external compensation market study completed for all positions within our organization. We were impressed by the team at Catapult, specifically how knowledgeable, helpful and informative they were. They guided us through the process, taking a time-consuming, complex project and making it very easy. The report we received was comprehensive and thorough. It is being used to help ensure that our salaries are both externally competitive and internally equitable, which is a key component of our retention strategy.

    Erica Reger

    Chief Human Resources Officer, Child and Family Services

  • I was introduced to Catapult during a corporate leadership course. My experience with past course was that the material was often outdated and lackluster. This was absolutely NOT the case at Catapult. From the moment we began the training program the facilitators and coaches had me engaged and I was hooked on the training. My approach to leadership has forever been changed by the experience I have gained working with Catapult. To this day I still speak with Tasha and every time we meet, I learn something new that I can apply to enhance my leadership skills and my interpersonal connections with all who I meet. This team truly cares about the leaders and future leaders that they work with, and Tasha will always be a mentor to me as I progress along my career path.

  • Catapult understood the unique circumstance and attributes that our CEO search implied and effectively identified candidates with responsive credentials. Catapult’s qualification analysis- including personality profiling- was excellent and spot on for the applicant we chose, whose performance has been even better than hoped for. We would recommend Catapult highly and enthusiastically for searches that require insight, diligence and great follow through.
