What We Believe

We believe in and are committed to:

  • A teaching philosophy and access to resources that will make and/or save you THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
  • A search strategy that will surface hidden talent NOT on the radar screen of the search community at large
  • 100% follow through on over 2,000 retained engagements...having never abandoned an uncompleted assignment in 15 years
  • 92% placement retention rate at the two year mark, and a 98% offer acceptance ratio
  • A unique Needs-Analysis approach that results in a much more meaningful understanding of the critical success factors in a specific candidate and their respective environment
  • A candidate Self-Appraisal that compels less than ideal candidates to self select out of specific search scenarios in which the fit is less than ideal
  • A 360 degree Reference Discovery Process that effectively reveals true strengths, weaknesses, proclivities, and fit indicators of all short-listed candidates before they are presented to you
  • A commitment to partner level execution of all mission critical search activities including candidate contact
  • A full two year guarantee on all executive placements above $225,000 in total cash compensation

 

You may find these significant because:

At large corporations when no one is looking

  •    Four out of ten retained executive searches FAIL!

At 44 Fortune 500 companies who implemented tighter search management practices

  •     Search failure rate still stands at 19%
  •      Offer extended and rejected rate is an astounding 29%

Executive Recruiter News December 2007

Too often recruits are plucked from the well-worn rolodexes of recruiters and hired by persons inexperienced at human capital selection.

  •   40% of new CEOs fail in the first eighteen months
  •   44% of all executive hires fail within two years
