Our Vested Interest

Once we recommend a placement, it's because we believe the fit suits both parties, client and candidate. We're selective about whom we choose as clients and candidates. We are expected to present "A" candidates to "A" clients. The bottom line is, if a new hire we have placed leaves a position, with or without cause, we are contractually bound to do a replacement search at no extra cost to the client. We're proud of our successful track record and so are our clients. In fact one half of our business is derived from repeat clients, the other half from client referrals.

We establish and maintain high standards for the services we provide. We strive for continuous improvement. We honor our commitments and develop long-term relationships with clients based on performance and mutual respect.

Our approach is to conduct a thorough and comprehensive search on behalf of our clients. We identify and attract top performers who make an immediate impact on our client company's productivity and bottom line. Clients and candidates receive consistent professional representation throughout the recruitment process. We have a sense of urgency when we endeavor on search projects. We take this responsibility very seriously and understand the ultimate impact our search can have on our client's business.

“The consequence of hiring the wrong talent is huge. Human resource analysts warn that a bad hire can cost a company as much as three times the annual salary to replace that individual. And this does not count the loss of business and internal disruption caused by a poor hire.

“Make a mistake on hiring a $200,000 executive position, experts say, and you can count on a $600,000 hit or more to the bottom line.

“Smart companies avoid this nightmare by carefully selecting and managing an outside executive search firm to help fill their key positions. As a result, they are more successful at bringing on board the right talent during tight labor markets, as well as more robust times.”
