EXECUTIVES HIRING EXECUTIVES

Our clients hire us to solve their most critical and complex leadership imperatives. Clients trust us to find world class talent quickly, be exceptionally rigorous on a candidate’s assessment, offer counsel and perspective without selling or recycling candidates. That’s exactly what we do. That ethos starts with all of our partners having 20+ years of leadership experience as either functional or GM executives. Leveraging the experiences of these successful operating executives with our proprietary process gives us the track record and confidence to offer a 90-day guarantee on every engagement. If we don’t find the winning candidate within 90 days our fee goes down every month thereafter until we do! What’s your opportunity cost of human capital?
