Customized strategies – We work with clients to develop a customized search strategy. For each search assignment we specifically design the search process to identify the best qualified and most receptive candidates for a particular position. We establish the key criteria for success and introduce the client to a select group of candidates – with the experience, judgment, cultural fit, energy, enthusiasm, talent, and behavioral attributes that lead to success.
EXECUTION AND METHODOLOGY
How We Work With Clients and Candidates
14
Search Execution – Professional search execution is a rigorous process – conducted by a team of professionals with focus, commitment, and experience.
Consultative Approach – We seek to provide value to client organizations and candidates.
Search Process and Execution – We utilize a differentiated search process that allows us to leverage our managing partners’ industry knowledge and access to executive leadership; which, in turn allows us to identify and recruit superior candidates. Our search work is often conducted in light of selected archetype, target or academy companies, key incumbents and alumni.
Search Execution Is Both General and Specific – Execution of an executive search assignment encompasses a thorough understanding of the industry as a whole and more specifically an understanding of the competitive dynamics of firms operating in the industry. A search strategy is then brought about by incorporating a thorough understanding of client specific considerations – corporate history, business and financial strategic initiatives, operating environment, cultural nuances, management style, corporate values, and structural dynamics of the client.
Repeat engagements – Are a natural outgrowth of our disciplined focus and consultative oriented approach.
