I am pleased to provide this reference for Donna Lyons, and her company, DM Lyons Consulting, who has been an invaluable partner in supporting our recruitment needs within the construction industry, both as an owner of NOVI BLDS Construction Managers, and previously as Director of Construction at Collecdev Construction Inc.
From the outset, both Donna and her team demonstrated a strong understanding of the construction sector and the unique requirements of our projects. They consistently presented well-qualified candidates who not only met the technical criteria but also fit seamlessly with our team’s culture and work ethic. This ability to align talent with both skillset and organizational fit is a testament to Donna’s expertise and thorough screening process.
Working as a client of DM Lyons Consulting was a seamless experience. They maintained clear and prompt communication, managed expectations effectively, and provided regular updates throughout the recruitment process. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and proactive approach made it remarkably easy to collaborate and ensured we could make hiring decisions with confidence and efficiency.
It should also be noted that not only am I a client of Donna’s, I was also a candidate. Donna placed me at one of my previous employers, which was a great fit! As a candidate, Donna treated me with respect and was clear and communicative throughout the entire process, which is not always the case with other recruiters, in my experience.
I would not hesitate to recommend Donna and her team to any organization seeking a recruiter who delivers results, communicates effectively, and truly understands the demands of the construction field.

It’s refreshing to work with a team that anticipates your needs, delivers on the promises that are made, are easy and friendly to deal with, and who are simply really lovely people.
That’s the impression we were left with after successfully working with Donna and her team at DM Lyons Consulting Recruitment Services. We were struggling to find a suitable candidate for our rapidly growing business, and in under two weeks, we went from “I’m not sure we will find someone” to presenting an amazing candidate with a job offer. I have worked with recruiters in the past, and was particularly impressed by the team’s attention to detail – they really listened to what we needed. Not only that, even after presenting us with excellent candidates, all of which were suitable and could be hired for the role, they continued to search for candidates to ensure we were happy. With limited time and resources at our disposal to dedicate to sourcing and hiring employees, Donna made the process easy, and I particularly enjoyed our conversations at each step in the process, and the advice she provided us with along the way. They took full ownership of the process from reviewing the job listing, to presenting the employment agreement. It was a pleasure working with DM Lyons Consulting Recruitment Services, and we very much appreciated their boutique approach to fulfilling our needs.

Donna can find you the unicorn! She and her team helped us with two positions, one of which was a tough one! She was able to present the candidates in a short time and we were able to move very quickly as her response time is amazing! I would work with and recommend her anytime!

Vice President, Petretta Construction Inc.
Working with the entire team at DM Lyons Consulting is a refreshing change of pace in the staffing industry.

Sylvia Hrkac
Director of Operations, ENVS Greener Solutions Inc.
Our company highly recommends DM Lyons Consulting for their recruiting services.
We recently engaged their team to assist us in recruiting for an administrative position. While we have handled recruitment internally in the past, filtering through a large number of unqualified candidates required more time and effort than we wanted to dedicate. At the time, we had an immediate need to fill a new role, and Donna and Jenn Bowers made the entire process extremely easy for us.
From the moment we signed on with them, they were organized, responsive and efficient. Within three weeks of engaging their services, we were able to extend and sign an offer with an excellent candidate. We were very pleased with both the speed and quality of the process.
Overall, we were thrilled with the service provided and would not hesitate to work with DM Lyons Consulting again in the future.

Sales and Marketing - Caisson Consultant Inc.
We recently partnered with DM Lyons Consulting to help us find two new team members, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the very beginning, they took the time to truly understand our business, our culture, and the specific skills we were looking for.
Their communication was clear, consistent, and proactive throughout the entire process. They presented us with high-quality candidates who were not only well-qualified on paper but also a great cultural fit for our team. It was clear they had carefully screened each applicant before putting them forward.
Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we successfully hired two outstanding new staff members who have already made a positive impact. The entire process was efficient, professional, and stress-free.
We would highly recommend their services to any business looking for a recruitment partner who genuinely cares about getting the right fit, not just filling a position. An excellent experience from start to finish!
Michael David
Sales Director - GPA Inc.
Working with Donna and the team at DM Lyons Consulting made a significant difference in our hiring process. This role was of critical importance to our company, and we were determined to find the right fit—both in capability and culture.
They took the time upfront to thoroughly understand exactly what we wanted and needed in the position, and that showed in the quality of candidates they delivered. Instead of the usual process of sorting through unqualified applicants and hoping to find the right person, we were presented with multiple strong, well-screened candidates who were all capable of succeeding in the role. That completely changed the dynamic of the interview process for us—it became less about weeding people out and more about choosing the best candidate from a genuinely qualified group.
We engaged Donna’s team just before Christmas, and despite the holiday break, we narrowed the search to two highly qualified individuals within one month. Within six weeks of engagement, we hired the new employee and established an onboarding timeline. They have since quickly integrated into the role and company culture.
Just as importantly, after the hire we spoke with the successful candidate about their experience with DM Lyons Consulting, and they had nothing but positive things to say. The process was professional, thorough, and respectful from both the employer and candidate side.
I would absolutely recommend DM Lyons Consulting to any company looking to make a strong hire without wasting time on the wrong candidates.

Agile and responsive are the words that come to mind when I think about DM Lyons Consulting. I’ve had the pleasure of working with them through my latest career move. Not only were they able to zero in on the client’s needs, they took the time to understand my professional needs to ensure the role was a good fit for both parties. From beginning to end, the recruitment process took just over two weeks, an impressive feat considering busy schedules on both sides! I was particularly impressed with their on-point and timely communication and their diligence in following through on commitments. DM Lyons Consulting is an extraordinary ambassador to have at your side and unwaveringly maintains the interest of their clients at heart. Professional, thorough and consistently going the extra mile are just a few reasons that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DM Lyons Consulting when recruiting new staff or indeed for anyone looking for their next career step.

Donna is a well-balanced HR professional who has a great appreciation of both process and strategy and how to blend them together for effective pragmatic delivery and execution. She is extremely gifted, highly competent and knowledgeable with a great sense of humor.
