Our Process
The specific process and timeline of an executive search will vary depending on the unique requirements of each client and the availability of suitable candidates, but our goal is to always fulfill each client’s needs as soon as possible. However, quality work is our top priority so we won’t cut corners in favor of expediting the process.
1. Define the Need
We start by meeting with you and your team so we can get to know and understand your company and culture. Our goal is not just finding the right talent, but the right fit.
2. Source the Globe
We’ll research and target companies and potential candidates around the world. Our search includes people who aren’t necessarily looking – and we don’t stop until we find the right person for you.
3. Recruit the Best
Our extensive advance work pays off. We meet and educate potential candidates on the job, your culture, vision and values in our journey to find the best fit for your company.
4. Close the Deal
We have identified the person who will go the distance and be the perfect leader for your company and culture. And, we’ll be on your side at the negotiating table.
