Elizabeth Ann Stringer
Christel and the Alvarez Search team have helped me grow my teams at two healthcare startups; she and her team understand the healthcare technology landscape and skill sets required for finding high quality candidates, moreover she quickly grasps company culture to find the needle in the haystack.

Zac Fritz
I’ve partnered with Christel and Alvarez Search at two high-growth companies for proven reasons. They don’t just fill roles—they understand our business, anticipate needs, and quickly deliver candidates who raise the bar. They have filled positions for me from Chief Commercial Officer to key leadership and strategic hires in HR and other functional departments. In short, they’ve been a key component to our success.

Rob Rebak
Christel is a trusted partner who has been incredibly helpful to me in filling numerous executive roles at multiple companies. Hiring for some of the very nuanced roles in a healthcare business requires a deep understanding of the market and the players, something difficult to find in most recruiters. Christel is definitely a healthcare specialist, and what she does is part science and part art with a touch of magic on top. And she’s super efficient - one of the fastest at getting to great results there is. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dan D’Orazio
Alvarez Search has helped us to effectively and successfully scale our business. They don’t just find qualified people, they have practical business experience and organizational development insights that pair very well with their search methodologies. Finding people is table stakes—finding the right people and the right fit can make all the difference—that is what they have delivered for us.

Marten den Haring
I was placed as CEO by Christel and her team, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Since then, they’ve been a trusted partner in helping me build out my executive team and other key roles across the organization. Christel and her team bring a rare combination of insight, intuition, and strategic thinking to every search—and consistently deliver candidates who are not only highly qualified but also deeply aligned with our mission and culture.
