OUR APPROACH
Working with clients
Our approach is collaborative and inclusive. We serve as your strategic advisor and work as an extension of your team. We communicate openly and often, working to eliminate any surprises. We learn your business, culture, team dynamics and operational challenges—from which we develop our search strategy and go-to-market narrative. We then guide you each step of the way as we navigate the search process together.
Sourcing
Our extensive network allows us to access top talent, immediately. But we don't stop there. Our team of professionals constantly source new candidates through creative channels. Once identified, we engage. Our messaging is thoughtful and compelling; our approach is persistent yet tactful—and candidates respond.
Working with candidates
We strive to provide a world-class candidate experience that gets people talking. Throughout the process we engage candidates in open, frank conversation—building rapport and trust as we discover their career aspirations and attributes. We understand that recruiting is a two-way street and the needs of the candidate are as important as the client's. To this end, our intuition guides us as we seek the best overall fit.
The human factor
Years of talent acquisition have taught us a few things about human nature. Uncovering a candidate's motivation, passion and aspiration enables us to get at the right issues, facilitate the right conversations and guide the process to the best possible outcome—always respecting the impact hiring decisions have on businesses, careers and families.
