HOW WE SEARCH…

We start with detailed gathering of information and diagnosis of the client situation, so we can understand the culture, the opportunity, performance goals and objectives, and the capability requirements.  We contact, network, listen, analyze, compare, diagnose, etc. to identify candidates with characteristics, capabilities, goals and objectives that match with client need and opportunity. We then monitor, manage and mediate the process from start to finish (and beyond), until client and candidate agree to consummate the relationship (or not).

COMPANY HISTORY…
