We have a passion for Engineering and Technology. Our career experience working in industry as Engineers and Mathematicians gives us a unique understanding of technology, its application, how to assess candidates, and the challenges faced by hiring managers.
We approach search differently than most search firms because we do not rely on advertisements or resumes that might be sitting in files or on the Internet. We actively network with our extensive industry contacts and seeking out the top executive talent who otherwise would not be responding to advertisements or postings. Specifically, we:
- Work hard to thoroughly understand your requirements.
- Seek the highest caliber candidates, rather than those who are the most available.
- Use our technical, business, and industry experiences to qualify candidates and assess professional and personality traits beyond the minimum skill sets needed for a position.
- We know and can tap into a large network of contacts. The best candidates are usually “passive”: they are already employed and not actively seeking new job opportunities. Their names are not found on online databases or resume banks at Internet job sites. The truly exceptional employee is most often too busy performing an outstanding job for his/her employer, not actively looking for another job.
- We bring objectivity and feedback to management. Executive search is a time consuming, sensitive process. We provide objective feedback on the candidates and advice to the employer, as well as a broad perspective of industry and hiring trends. Sometimes our knowledge of what is happening “in the outside world” is one of the most valuable side benefits we offer.
- We observe strict confidentiality, which is essential to the hiring process. Confidentiality keeps competitors from being tipped off to management changes, new products, and new market initiatives.
