About Us
Our Commitment
We provide our clients with individual attention and personalized service. We
limit the number of assignments that a partner may conduct at any one time, enabling us
to devote to each project the thorough homework, careful analysis, in-depth screening,
and comprehensive evaluation that each client expects and deserves.
The principle of our firm, who initiates the client relationship, is personally responsible
for the conduct and completion of the assignment. This individual will communicate with
the client on a frequent basis, providing firsthand information on the direction and
progress of the assignment.
Our Practice
We view our clients as business partners. We work closely and confidentially with our clients,
maintaining a strong relationship with their principals and senior officers. The successful
completion of our assignments is based on a thorough understanding of our client's thinking,
in their particular business environment.
Our principal activity is the identification, evaluation, selection, and recruitment of key
management executives. Additionally, we have an active practice in the selection of outside
directors, succession planning, organization development, compensation studies and related
industry surveys.
Our Approach
-
We begin each assignment by closely examining the crucial factors likely to determine our
client's true needs, including:
- Organizational relationships
- Internal and external environments
- Strategies and objectives
- Client culture
- Performance measurements for the new executive
- Specific experience, expertise, accomplishments and personal traits necessary for success
These concepts are then incorporated into a comprehensive position specification that details
the scope of the position and its objectives, and profiles the specific professional and personal
attributes that will best fulfill the particular need.
Our Methodology
We believe that thorough, current research is the only way to ensure that the best possible
candidates are identified and considered for each assignment. We focus on the most outstanding
candidates for the position....not merely those who are visible or easily accessible.
Following in-depth personal interviews, we then prepare a comprehensive summary of each candidate,
including professional experience and specific accomplishments. We develop an analysis and appraisal
of the candidate's business and personal qualifications, providing an accurate profile of both the
quantitative and qualitative aspects of each candidate's skills.
We contact numerous references, peers, superiors, and subordinates to obtain a cross-section of
evaluations from executives who have worked closely with each candidate. We require this not only to
understand the candidates suitability but also to determine any possible limitations. We present
only those executives whom we believe will best achieve the company's immediate and long-term objectives.
