Testimonials

“To the Pointe, brought their expertise and in-depth knowledge, which really added value to us/the process. It truly was a pleasure working with them and can highly be recommended to other organizations.”

“I was working together with To the Pointe in 2021 when the Finnish National Opera and Ballet engaged them to help with the search of the Artistic Director for the Ballet. Even if as a Human Resources professional I have extensive experience in recruitment, I found their contribution invaluable. Their knowledge and understanding of the ballet world and artistic requirements as well as their insights about the candidates helped us greatly in our decision making. I can warmly recommend them for similar kinds of assignments.”

“To the Pointe is unique and provides in-depth knowledge of the dance sector at leadership level. Their nternational network which can be accessed through To the Pointe's consultancy is distinctive and current. I was invited to be part of the consultancy process for Finnish National Opera & Ballet's (FNOB) Artistic Director search, and it was a fulfilling and rich experience working alongside David, and Cynthia to support FNOB's international search.”

“As a former Artistic Director himself, David McAllister was able to bring a deep understanding of the skills, experience and personality required by our candidates to work alongside an Executive Director in creating and delivering a vision for a leading UK ballet company and academy In addition to his unsurpassed knowledge of the dance world, David is a delight to work with and I greatly enjoyed having him alongside me during this assignment.”

“It was great to work with To The Pointe as artistic advisors on our placement of the new Artistic Director for the Finnish National Ballet. We found their knowledge and experience in the ballet world added great value to the process, and they were fun, thoughtful and professional to work with throughout.”
