Our Recruiting Methodology
Our fast, focused, proprietary recruiting methodology enables us to deliver excellent candidates through a blend of the very best practices in targeted outreach and project management.
But we don’t work in a vacuum—we ask our clients some tough questions to clarify their search requirements and drive consensus. In return, we offer complete transparency during the search process by providing regular progress updates, hitting predefined search milestones, and sharing competitive intelligence. You’ll always have a clear view of our efforts while we build your candidate pipeline.
If you’re tired of playing the numbers game, sifting through piles of off-target resumes, feeling buyer’s remorse over the wrong hires, or working with ineffective recruiting firms, use our retained search services. Retained search is an effective model for delivering recruiting and search services for clients, particularly when searching for executives.
