Decades of Proven Process Search Experience
Our team offers hard-won experience in the nuanced process of attracting top talent for your key roles. We use a proven search methodology and have developed a unique graphical way of presenting an opportunity, often complimented by clients and candidates Our searches focus on CEO, VP, and Director levels across all functions, with sales and marketing positions leading the way.
Built by Experienced Operating Executives
The Principals of the firm had successful careers in senior leadership positions before entering search, some of which yielded IPOs and acquisitions. We know first-hand what personal qualities and functional skills are necessary for a demanding growth environment. In addition, we had been job seekers in the past and know what we liked (and didn’t like) with the search firms we’ve worked with prior to entering search and developed fresh approaches to the process.
Broad Industry Coverage
Our client base includes leading brands in the space, yet our boutique model allows us to recruit from the full breadth of top-tier talent across the market.
Two Managing Partners Focused on Every Search
We never take on a search for which we have insufficient bandwidth. Your search will also never be passed along to a junior-level associate. Every search is conducted by two Managing Partners who will be on every candidate interview and follow-up call with you and your team until successful completion.
A True Ambassador for Your Brand
In every search, we operate as an extension of your team—representing your brand with accuracy and professionalism while ensuring a high-quality candidate experience. As a retained firm, we present each candidate with only one opportunity at a time, so you’ll never compete with our other clients for the same talent.
Our Guarantee
We offer a one-year guarantee on every search we conduct. If, for any reason, a candidate that we place does not stay with your organization for one full year, we will launch and conduct a replacement search for NO additional fee.
