Formed in 2000 by a group of seasoned professionals who had enjoyed careers in executive leadership positions in industry and finance, we are a "boutique" search firm that concentrates our work in an Industrial and Distribution Practice and a Financial Services Practice. In addition to our partners and consultants, we employ a large staff of highly experienced research professionals who we utilize for targeted original research in each search we conduct. We have the capability to search in any industry and market and have worked in all functional areas.

We believe that management is about measurement, processes and procedures and leadership is about attitude, creativity and commitment. While we look for experienced managers, we always concentrate on leadership abilities. We believe skills are grouped into three areas:

1. Purely technical (Accounting, Marketing, etc.)
2. Cognitive (analytical reasoning)
3. Emotional Intelligence (self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills)

We seek out individuals with proficiency in each of these areas, applying competency-based interviewing techniques to uncover ability and aptitude.

How much is your time worth? Outsource the task of finding, judging and recruiting talent. Let us identify excellent candidates through our targeted original research process so you are free to run your business. We work fast, efficiently, guarantee our results and can provide you with a list of highly satisfied references throughout the country.
