A. Strategic Advisory Services

B. Executive Search Services

Our objective and success has come from taking an overly traditional industry sector and catapulting it into the innovative and digital age that we live in today.

Through a new approach, our product, process, people & technology are focused on evolving a new breed of talent advisory and leaving behind the traditional executive search mentality.

Using our exhaustive and truly unique, research-intensive approach, we provide partners with leading market intelligence and “unexpected candidate discoveries” promoting diversity of thought and leadership globally through our two business offerings:

We have addressed the common frustrations of our own industry and subsequently evolved with the pace of the market. Ten years ago the owners of Marlin Hawk hosted a number of round table events to better understand senior executives’ frustrations of the search industry.

The key concerns raised were:• Quality and depth of the fresh research• Quality of selection process• Accuracy of the market messaging and brand representation• Candidate experience• Values and ethics of the search industry

Off the back of these concerns, Marlin Hawk was born. Our focus is aligned to resolve thesefrustrations. We have become the leading strategic talent advisors within our space, overtaking traditionalsearch firms in just a few short years.

Our success is based on five core drivers:• Diving deeper than any other advisory firm into research and market intelligence• An examiner qualified, competency based selection methodology• Our commitment to serving fewer clients and establishing deeper, long-term relationships• Our partnership approach to delivering our client’s brand to the market• The overall candidate experience of working with Marlin Hawk.

Our Strategic Advisory Service practice was created to proactively arm our partners with a long-term lens into the talent industry. It serves many purposes in an effort to explore the strengths, weaknesses and gaps within our partners’ organizations while comparing all of these aspects to the external market.

Often as a alternative to search, the service provides a comprehensive view of the market as it relates to organizational design, leadership benchmarking and strategic talent awareness. We offer three core products through this practice:
