Leadership Search

With nearly 50 years of executive search experience, we have learned a great deal about how to meet our client’s needs. Our biggest strategy is a simple one – ask good questions and listen carefully to the answers. 

A huge part of making a successful hire is having a successful start.  That is why we take the time to understand our client’s needs before we start recruiting for their roles.  

Our goal is to help you solve your business problems by helping you hire the best people.  That can only happen when we understand your organization and your organizational goals. 

Each leadership search begins by learning about… 

  • Your business needs 
  • Your current state of business 
  • Your desired state of business 

Whether it’s leading a succession plan or helping you add talent to your organizational chart –  we can help you reach your desired end. 

Our Specialty 

Our recruiting services cross industries.  Rather than focus on just one industry, we focus on understanding good leadership. Because of the uniqueness of each company, the best person to hire for your organization may be quite different than the right hire for the same position at another organization – even within the same industry.  Because each organization has their own culture, values and chemistry, we see each search as an independently unique search. Our job is to learn your uniqueness and find the right person to join your specific leadership team. 

97% of our business comes from previous clients. That percentage represents our client’s repeat business as well as their referrals to their business relationships.   We understand leadership so well that both our clients and candidates confidently refer us to others. 

In the executive search marketplace, it is all about trust and referrals.  We’re proud of our continued reputation for excellent leadership search throughout the United States.  We would be proud to partner with you on your next leadership search.
