P5
Consulting Services is owned and operated in Partnership by Don and Marylou Pritchard. Both come from an Ag background and bring
that work ethic into their business. 
Don was raised and worked on his family's grain and commercial cattle ranch in the Carrisa
Plains and Bitterwater Valley areas of San Luis Obispo and Kern Counties. He attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where he obtained his Bachelor's degree in Agricultural and Farm Management. At that time, Central California
was in a significant drought period and returning to the ranch was not an option. Don moved to Inyo County where he became
a Deputy Sheriff covering areas between Bishop and Death Valley. An on-duty injury forced Don to retire from law enforcement
in 2001 the family decided that it would be a great opportunity to return to his roots and focus on his Partnership in his
family's cattle and hunting operation - the BarB6 Ranch. While working with the ranch, Don knew he would also have to maintain a separate enterprise
to make ends meet so he and Marylou started an agriculture focused management recruiting business that has been growing ever
since.  Marylou was born and raised in the Owen's Valley at the base of the Eastern Sierra mountains in Lone Pine California. She was raised and worked on her family's horse breeding facility which on average consisted of
about 30 horses. She earned an Associates Degree in Business Administration, completed coursework in Project Management
at U.C. Santa Barbara, and acquired over 20 years of public (and some private) sector work experience which includes
Public Works and Planning, Communications and Staff Development.
Backgrounds in agriculture, public works and law enforcement anchor the foundation for a
credible and successful business and we take great pride in our reputation for quality client service. As P5 grows and
increases its reach, Don and Marylou maintain their commitment to high performance and unsurpassed industry
knowledge by offering candidates and client companies personal service, confidentiality, and the most ethical standards
in the industry. As a result, P5 has placed quality candidates with some of the best known names on a regional
and national level.
We do much more than merely match candidates
to job openings. Other agencies accomplish this through scripted questions and a checklist. In contrast, we possess the education
and professional backgrounds within each field to ensure quality candidates who have not exaggerated their capabilities. Candidates
and references are interviewed extensively and then our own practical industry experience is applied to ensure that the candidate's
experience and needs are appropriate for the job and culture offered by the client. We facilitate the client interview, negotiations
and final follow-up/notifications. Our objective is to launch long-term, successful
relationships between the individuals we place and our clients.
Each client
has its own priorities. Organizations, company cultures, funding requirements and other factors come into play for different
reasons and maintaining a wide perspective for all of our services is important. The strength in our industry knowledge, functional
expertise, and a strong desire to provide premier customer service and personal attention, separates P5 Consulting Services
from other firms. Don and Marylou measure P5's success by repeat business which weighs in at an impressively
high rate.
