Dream Candidates
We give you candidates you never dreamed existed by searching smarter. Our expert investigative recruiters consistently uncover top-performing candidates others miss. Our candidate sourcing maps target companies, taps little-known databases, and harnesses the power of data to uncover dream candidates.
Pricing You Can Trust
We give you pricing you can trust. Our flat fees banish the conflicts-of-interest of traditional percentage-based pricing. Tying fees to a candidate’s salary rewards headhunters who inflate the salaries of executives they place. That’s simply not right. You shouldn’t have to wonder about a headhunting firm’s loyalty.
All the Research
We hand over all the candidate research — something traditional retained firms never do. However, we are proud to show you our work. You should never have to wonder what a retained firm is doing for all that money. Better yet, you can use it to make additional hires at no additional cost. Why settle for less?
Our Secret Sauce
Investigative Recruiters
Founded by an award-winning investigative TV journalist with a specialty in computer-assisted research and data analytics and staffed by investigative associates, we uncover top candidates others miss.
Headhunters With Connections
As headhunters, we leverage highly-placed sources. Moreover, we reach far beyond typical recruiting resources. As research experts, we harness data to identify top performers. We capture market intelligence that speeds time-to-hire. We leverage org charts and talent maps built by our research division Intellerati. That is how we consistently deliver dream candidates.
New to Executive Recruiting?
If you are a new executive recruiting buyer, we have information that can help bring you up to speed. To start, we answer the question every executive search buyer has, “What does an executive search cost?” We also share tips about ways to save on retained search fees.
Retained Search Or Contingency?
If you have an important executive to hire, you first must decide what kind of headhunting firm to use. In executive recruiting, the contingency and retained recruiting models could not be more different. Hint: there is no such thing as an executive search firm that’s free.
Need a Search Firm List?
Executive recruiting buyers often struggle to come up with a shortlist of the top executive headhunters. There are lots of lists out there on the Internet. We detail the many reasons why you should be wary of online top executive search firm lists and how to build your own.
