Discovery
Meet with stakeholders to discuss the role, including its responsibilities and requirements, and the organization’s culture. Often, stakeholders include members of the executive team, board members, and HR. The goal is to understand what is necessary for someone to succeed in the role.
Filter
We study the position, including its duties, goals, and reporting relationships, to build what we call the Filter. Filters explain the work that needs to be done and the skills, competencies and mindset required to do that work. With a Filter in hand, organizations can understand what top candidates look like and keep executive searches on track.
Target
We compile a list of companies with candidates in similar roles with similar cultures and office locations. The firm then researches potential candidates in our existing database, other proprietary databases and social networks to develop a list of prospects. We reach out to professional associations and other groups for referrals.
Search
We contact prospects to see whether they are qualified and open to having a discussion. Are they a compensation fit, geography fit and ultimately do they fit the Filter?
Screen
We meet with top candidates in an in-depth interview, which may take place online or in person. The executive search partner then verifies skills and references to the extent possible to assess potential fit.
Present
The next step is to present a slate of top candidates to the client. We prepare a report that explains each candidate’s background and assesses their strengths and weaknesses against the Filter. The recruiting team will also share details to help the client close the deal, such as salary requirements and motivators.
Interviews
The client conducts in-depth, in-person interviews to narrow the list to two or three finalists.
Verify
At this stage, we contact the candidate’s references and confirms employment and credentials. Because of the sensitive nature of these conversations, the search team takes steps to ensure confidentiality.
Offer
We help the client construct an attractive offer, including an enticing salary and benefits package.
Onboarding
Once the candidate accepts the offer we will help insure that the candidate’s resignation goes smoothly and that other steps are taken to keep the candidate on schedule for their first day on the job.

Retained Search:
Ideal for filling critical or time-sensitive positions, we create a tailored search strategy for your needs. A small retainer initiates the search, which is applied to the placement fee at the project's conclusion. Retained projects always take top priority.

Contingent Search:
Perfect for companies that prefer not to commit to a devoted effort, but still want access to qualified candidates. This option lets you see candidates we are currently working with without the need for a retainer.
