Executive Search

It is a pro-active method, in which we identify the best available candidates from our research, contacts, database or knowledge of various industries, and simply from knowing who’s who in many different fields.

Executive search is the recommended method of recruitment when seeking a senior-level executive with exceptional skills and experience. This process enables our experts to identify individuals who are not necessarily seeking a change of employment, therefore considerably broadening the range of potential candidates available.

Direct Hire

Our Contingency Search is a results-focused service, with fees paid only after a candidate is successfully placed. On a contingent basis we research, identify and introduce qualified candidates, manage the interview and selection process, provide detailed references and background information, negotiate compensation and provide valuable feedback after candidates start.

With Direct Hire search Our clients are only billed for service if a candidate is successfully hired. There’s no better risk-free way to bring top talent directly into your organization.
