How It Works

Because we work for you, not the hiring companies, we can offer many advantages over do-it-yourself or retained search. When you’re our executive representation client, we:

    • Develop a plan based on your value proposition (experience, expertise, track record, and skillset) — and stick to it
    • Track down promising leads, without disrupting your life
    • Take your calls whenever you have questions
    • Target companies who have potential positions or board seats meeting your criteria
    • Provide in-depth research, coach you through interview scenarios and help you navigate challenging situations
    • Negotiate on your behalf and close the deal

After an in-person, comprehensive assessment and strategy session, we develop a customized program to help you find exactly the position or board seat that matches your value proposition. A typical engagement includes:

    • Competency, Leadership & Analytic Assessments
    • Executive Reference Validations
    • Resume, Bio & LinkedIn/Board Profiles
    • Multi-Prong Value Proposition Messaging Content
    • Custom Strategy Development & Execution
    • In-depth Research Support
    • Interview Coordination, Coaching & Logistics
    • Opportunity Management & Prioritization
    • Negotiation of Executive Compensation Package

Unlimited Possibilities. Multiple Support Options.
