search process
kick-off
It is critical we get it right from the first meeting. Deep dive into the company, opportunity, success metrics, sample archetypes, ideal backgrounds, domain expertise, desired leadership skills, and market compensation data. Only with the right data, will we be able to appropriately go to market with the opportunity.
search & assessments
Research and outreach begins and one week from the kick-off, we will have calibration candidates to discuss. Industry norm from larger firms is 2-3 weeks, but we believe that’s too long. We take on less searches to accomplish this goal. We will assess against the scorecard defined during the kick-off call. We will gain intimate knowledge about every candidate in our slate and provide a comprehensive perspective and recommendation on their fit for your need.
offer
There is a war for talent and most candidates are in a competitive situation. We’ve closed hundreds of executives and know the right way to get leaders across the line. We will advise on negotiations, predict obstacles, recommend competitive market rate packages, and ensure an acceptance.
how long will this take?
Our goal is to get to an offer stage 60 days after the kick-off. That’s an aggressive target that most firms will not commit to. Speed is the common denominator with every search we’ve ran. Getting the right person in fast to make an immediate impact is important to all our clients so we have optimized our business to match that urgency. Setting up a search correctly to solve for speed is something we’ve advised countless clients on. Net net, timelines can vary depending on the specifics of the search. Contact us for a realistic estimate on timing based on your need. Regardless of how long it takes, we are with you all the way and will maintain the highest standard until the finish line.
