Single Point of Search

Searches at the senior level produce the best result

when a single individual conducts them

When the elements of

the search are divided

among two or more

people, the client and

the candidate are not

well served.

Elements of Search

6

Thoroughness & Candor

Thoroughness and candor are the essential elements

in conducting your executive search

Clients receive full

transparency during our

thorough search so they know

they are interviewing the best

candidates. No material fact

is withheld from a candidate

and no candidate will be sold

to a client

7

Evaluation of Professionalism

Integrity is the primary focus in the evaluation of

your portfolio of potential candidates

No amount of knowledge, track

record or charisma can make up

for a lack of professional or

personal integrity.

Deep Reference Checks

Checking references on multiple levels provides

valuable insights when building your team

All candidates for senior level

positions should deliver a credible

interview. Clarity regarding

integrity, accomplishments,

management style, work ethic

and interpersonal skills is best

achieved talking with

subordinates, peers and superiors.

Former board members, outside legal counsel and auditor references are also completed for CEO and CFO candidates
