7A SEARCH FIRM BUILT TO WORK HARD SO YOU CAN HIRE SMARTER.7

OUR DEFINED PROCESS LEADS TO SUCCESSOur retention rate is 98% after one year. And after three years, 90% of our placements are still working at the company we paired them with. This far surpasses the average retention rate.

We work with expertise. You have your own niche, and so do we. When we identify a candidate for your organization, we do so strategically, with longevity in mind.

We work with timelines. A sense of urgency drives a successful search, and setting expectations ahead of time helps everyone to stay collectively focused.

We work with direct communication. You tell us your specific goals and concerns, and we’ll work to ensure your expectations are met.

We work with potential and with culture. It’s more than just a checklist of requirements. We look for candidates that will add value to your organization, rather than candidates who simply “fill a position."

A 2OO MILLION DOLLAR LEADING SUPPLY CHAIN COMPANY WAS FACING BIG PROBLEMS WHEN CRUCIAL POSITIONS REMAINED VACANT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

The company went through many generalist staffing firms to no avail: they lacked supply chain expertise and sent unqualified candidates.

WHEN A BILLION DOLLAR AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIER HEADQUARTERED IN THE U.S. CREATED A NEW POSITION IN THE COMPANY, THEY KNEW WHAT SKILLS THE PERSON NEEDED TO HAVE AND NOT MUCH ELSE.

PRIVATE EQUITY PARTNERSHIPSWe understand private equity and the high sense of urgency in the process. We thrive on finding top-caliber professionals who are capable of creating value. Our talent standards are tailored to the rigorous and unique realities of private equity investment. Our mission is to drive performance for our private equity clients.

We advise CEOs, Board of Directors and key executives on human capital issues. Our expertise include completing searches for: Portfolio Company key-hires (C-suite, VP, Controller, Operations Management), Private Equity (Managing Partners, Operating Executives, Senior Associates) and Board Directors.

We maintain advisory relationships with our private equity clients by attracting only the best and brightest to our team. Our search consultants come from well-rounded backgrounds in operations, finance, investment banking and risk management.


During a merger or acquisition, finding the right senior staff and executive leadership who will push the company forward is a top priority– and sticking to a timeline is a close second. While mergers and acquisitions typically leave a sour taste behind for the employees of an acquired company, proper talent management can help an organization to meet its short- and long-term initiatives.

When we partner with a company going through a major transition, we take the time to evaluate the talent needs they will have as a result of the change. From there, we take a proactive approach to find the right talent to fill any gaps and help make the merger or acquisition a smooth success.

Our strength is in identifying the right candidates to fill leadership positions. We search tirelessly for leaders who fit the culture and have the skills to smoothly transition companies and departments after a merger or acquisition. Additionally, our team is accustomed to working with companies who are on a tight timeline as part of their transition process.

To make for an even smoother transition, many companies bring us in to help with succession planning. Succession planning allows us to identify and understand the current bench strength, and then mix in the right external talent to complement the team. Our succession experts can work to implement hiring programs and leadership structures that will increase the value and attractiveness of an organization as well.
