Network.

You’ve seen what you get from a job ad. We know the industry and we know the people. Our decades of global event industry experience allow you unparalleled access to top executive level talent. We are able to save you valuable time and resources by introducing a shortlist of top industry talent from our exclusive candidate database and networks, tailored headhunting and proactive outreach to passive candidates.

Culture.

Cultural assessment is the most crucial component of our service. We undergo a deep evaluation of your company culture to ensure we have a thorough understanding of your organization and team and what makes you unique. We carefully vet and evaluate our talent, so that you only meet candidates that will integrate with your team, lead from the front and drive you forward.

 

Competency.

Finding the right leader is more than checking the boxes on skills and requirements. We work with you to develop a tailored strategy for evaluating candidates throughout the interview process. This may involve on-the-job skills evaluations and sample pitches and presentations, as well as a thorough and confidential reference checking process. Every evaluation process is unique, and we ensure that you will be confident that your new leader will be ready to step in and meet the demands of the role and your organization.

The Offer.

The candidate has passed the interviews with flying colors! You love them and they love your team! The offer stage is a crucial and delicate process for executive level roles and can be the make or break stage. We work with you to structure the offer and ensure it is in line with the candidate’s expectations. We act as the liaison to negotiate all the organization and job specific considerations from compensation packages (salary, bonus, equity, benefits) to title to relocation, so when the candidate says YES, you will start the relationship off on the right foot.

Exclusivity.

In executive recruitment, we believe LESS IS MORE. Spreading an executive search through too many recruiters can result in any number of common issues from confidential roles becoming public to you having to referee between competing recruiters. Additionally, you will expend even more time and resources evaluating a flood of often unqualified candidates, including candidates sourced by unreliable A.I. systems. Our clients return to us time and again for one reason: We know our stuff. At the executive level, a single partner approach allows us to provide you extended value, maintain confidentiality and efficiency, and save your resources in the evaluation process.
