We are motivated by a relentless drive for innovation.

This can be seen across each of our three pillars:

Every assignment receives the personal attention of a senior, experienced recruiter who specializes in the industries we serve. Our hyper-focused expertise means we have unmatched knowledge of the businesses, functions, and cultures of these sectors, and possess a vast network of industry contacts that the average recruiter does not.

 

Unlike some of our competitors, all assignments—large and small—receive this expert attention. We pride ourselves in providing an intimate experience for every client and are constantly implementing new strategies to ensure that our service delivery is streamlined, attentive, and effective.

Our disciplined approach begins with a customized and targeted search program based on our deep understanding of your business and culture. Then we identify the most talented candidates in the market using our proprietary tech platform and deep recruiter network. What follows is a series of comprehensive leadership assessments which evaluate candidates’ skills, experience and interpersonal traits.

 

We are always adding new state-of-the-art assessment tools so that we can provide the most accurate analysis available. Moreover, our model fosters close collaboration with our clients and total transparency—nothing is kept “behind the curtain.”

We have built a sophisticated tech platform and perfected a data-centric approach which is unmatched in the industry. It provides the foundation for robust research, sourcing, and rigorous assessment of candidates. One of its central features is a proprietary database with more than 100,000 contacts. Our powerful platform is one of the critical reasons that we are able to achieve a 95% success rate.

We constantly evolve so we can provide our clients with optimal services.

 

In addition to our executive search capabilities, we have built a robust consulting practice including Compensation Consulting, Executive Coaching, Career Coaching, Leadership Assessments, Litigation Consulting, and Succession Planning. This allows us to help our clients cultivate and manage their leadership teams throughout every phase of the lifecycle.
