We turn knowledge into
action.

A cornerstone of our process is a comprehensive understanding of both clients and candidates. Approaching the executive search process with full visibility ensures we can assemble teams that will not only elevate our clients’ business, but will advance their corporate culture.

Finding Your Perfect Match

To understand a candidate’s true potential for a role, we apply a thorough evaluation process, spending the time required to identify the most important indicators of success in a leadership role. Our evaluation process focuses on 5 core elements: Culture, Impact, Experience, Key Competencies, and Prescriptive Referencing.

Our Methodology

SOFT SKILLS MATTER

Cultural Fit

At the heart of our process is the alignment between the candidate and our clients' culture. We delve into attributes that best predict a long-term fit - Leadership Style, Motivation, Communication, Personality and Collaboration.

WALKING THE WALK

Value & Impact

We believe in focusing on the value and impact our candidates will drive for your business. We dig deep to unearth where the rubber meets the road. Individuals must have a proven track record of strategic thinking and drive impactful results that create meaningful change.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Experience

Career, education and life experiences are what make our candidates who they are today. Our team dives into each of these categories to fully understand how our candidates align with the immediate and long-term needs of our clients.

FORCE MULTIPLIERS

Key Competencies

We collaborate with each client to define a short list of desired key attributes that is deemed essential to a candidate's success. This serves as the template for both our internal process and for client interviews to ensure we are all speaking the same language.

CONSIDER THE SOURCE

Prescriptive Referencing

A different approach to references - During our evaluation process, we take note of key current and past colleagues (supervisory, peer and team members). In the reference phase of an engagement, we ask to speak specifically with these individuals in hopes to hear more impactful and honest feedback.
