Our Advantage

20 years of experience filling critical roles at all organizational levels for companies in various stages of development.

We engage top candidates who are not necessarily looking for their next role. Our experience allows us to have access to the highest-performing leaders within several industries. These candidates are often concerned about confidentiality, so creating immediate trust and credibility are essential. Top candidates are typically more comfortable with an experienced outside consultant who is not part of the hiring organization, providing them with a more comfortable relationship in which to explore a potential new opportunity, confidentially.

Our experience can be invaluable in terms of providing objectivity and bringing strategic expertise about the current marketplace to the table. We understand the candidate marketplace, current trends in terms of new requirements of corporate leaders, and the qualities required in change environments.

Our clients have found our firm to be a great alternative to engaging large, high-overhead search firms that tend to be inflexible, expensive, and somewhat impersonal. We are small and nimble enough to be able to move quickly by offering a personal approach to each search, while utilizing the latest technology, processes, and search methodology available.We do not engage with more than 2 similar industry clients at a time, eliminating “blockage” or conflict of interest issues that larger firms have when recruiting qualified candidates currently located in competitor organizations.

There is an increased demand to attract a diverse range of top candidates who can deliver fresh perspectives to the hiring organization. We fully understand this and have focused on expanding our own networks beyond the “most obvious” candidate pools used to identify top talent. Utilizing our extensive network of top professionals and referral sources, in conjunction with a variety of deep-dive sourcing methods, we go directly to the best candidates that can excel at the job.

You want a search team who understands your culture, the major players in your industry, and your organization’s unique needs. Our process model allows us to learn these aspects of your organization which we will use to align our search. Additionally, since our firm’s lead search consultants handles the engagement directly, they are better positioned to present your opportunity, screen candidates and provide value-added insight on your industry, the market, the function, and the role.

Our clients have access to search reports that show name, title, employer and responses from all of the potential candidates that we have contacted for the search. These report allows you to better communicate and collaborate with our firm during the search. This information can prove to be valuable in refining or redirecting search efforts, identifying the perception of your company in the marketplace, and provides residual value by identifying key talent for future needs.

For executive search, we utilize the contained search methodology with a performance-based fee structure and a limited upfront investment.

We deliver the depth of service and global reach of the largest search firms.

Unlike larger search firms, we do not engage with more than 2 similar industry clients at a time, eliminating “blockage” or conflict of interest issues when recruiting qualified candidates currently located in competitor organizations.
