A Changing World
Changing Standards — The world of executive level search has changed, and the standard search strategy rarely works anymore. Today’s job description is broad and demanding, requiring that candidates have not just organizational expertise, but, often, political and communications acumen.
Attention — The stakeholders are can be diverse–representing governmental, business, industry specific and general public interests–and often play key roles in any successful selection process. The process itself requires flexibility, creativity and above all, the full attention of top-level search consultants.


Collaboration — A significant portion of our search work has been conducted for organizations that require leaders who can successfully collaborate with a broad range of individuals and organizations.
Leadership — The leaders, whom we’ve helped hire, have proven to be not just successful executives, but successful spokespeople, consensus-builders, fundraisers, advocates, educators and ultimately, respected leaders.
Direct Search
Style — We employ a direct-contact recruiting style. We don’t just advertise your position. We pro-actively “head-hunt” the leaders who “fit” with your team and your company because we know from experience that the best people need a certain amount of coaxing, which is best done through direct communication.
Passive Candidates — Directly searching and addressing potential candidates within defined target industries is the most certain and fastest way to the right executives. This is the only way of reaching qualified candidates who are not currently on the search and who therefore cannot be reached via a job advertisement. This target group is generally also the most attractive.


Top Quality — We passionately believe that our job is to deliver top-quality service that exceeds client expectations, always focused on the ‘”fit.” Hands on, attentive and eager to exceed your expectations, we ensure that your executive search experience is a seamless success from beginning to end.
Exceptions — When the position is unique, requires a vast or specialized range of skills, and/or the candidate pool seems small, we excel! Finding the “hard-to-find” candidate, we know how to interpret and apply relevant candidate experience and attributes to determine if there is a good “fit.”
