Services
Retained Executive Search
Let us help you find and assess top executive leadership talent for your organization on a retained search by search basis. A flat fee structure and client favorable terms lower your risk and save you money.
Research & Market Insights
Need to do succession planning or benchmark your existing leadership team against the external market? We provide strategic research services and market insights to help drive decision making around your organizational/leadership structure. This is done on a flat-fee project to project basis.
Executive Search Consulting Services
We provide consulting services on an hourly or monthly basis. We can help you establish a new internal executive search function, assess your existing function or provide interim leadership for your in-house executive search team. This can also be a cost effective solution over traditional retained search if you need to hire a number of leaders in a relatively short amount of time.
