For those of you who have worked with me over the years either as a client, leading a search for key positions in your organization, or as a candidate, reference, referral source, mentor or friend, you know that I am passionate about completing a project and creating win, win, win situations. If we find the very best candidate for a client, it’s a win for that client. If we place someone in their next career opportunity, it’s a win for the candidate. If both parties fit together, then it’s a win for us.
However, winning only happens after extensive work is performed, understanding the needs of a client, the culture, the environment, the requirements of a key position in the organization and the many other influences involved with decision making/hiring. Once we understand these noted parameters, we embark on performing research to identify individuals who might meet these requirements, competing companies with similar organizational structures, sources, vendors and other resources who could help lead us to that perfect candidate.
At this point we engage in relentless pursuit of the ideal candidate for this opening. Our deep understanding of the industry, functional requirements, historical foundation, contacts and relationships is advantageous. We have lived, breathed and participated in the ecosystem and rapid growth of the cable television industry and the wireless communications industry, the Digital Media convergence and a variety of outlying ventures including numerous new business initiatives facilitated by technology development – Content Delivery, Ad Sales, Digital Media, Home Automation, IoT, Robotics and many more companies supporting these industries.
Our recent work in the Cannabis industry, Home Automation, Real Estate, Pharmaceutical, Manufacturing, IoT and other sectors has proven that our success and the greatest demand for our services has come from early stage ventures, new technology enhancements, new regulatory environments, searching for experienced leaders to accomplish the goal, capture the dream and/or optimize performance. In some cases, the best candidates need to come from outside the industry, with a proven track record in a parallel or similar role. We have succeeded in attracting risk takers and proven leaders who can facilitate and create success. In new sectors, enabled by technology or facilitated by changes in the regulatory environment it’s essential to identify candidates with the entrepreneurial instincts and proven success in early stage companies or divisions. Moreover, it takes relentless pursuit to identify, attract and deliver these leaders.
As companies grow to the point of having a large HR department with internal resources, processes and feeder systems our value can be questioned. However, time and again we have delivered outstanding results, with the benefit clearly outweighing our cost. Our expertise lies in finding the early stage leaders, the new division team, the new technologist leaders, the industry creators and facilitators. We don’t run ads to find candidates. Why cast wide nets across the entire spectrum when needs are very specific? Our value is delivering the very best candidates who are recruited to meet the specific needs, with applicable and relative experience who fit the company, culture and requirements. How is this accomplished? Relentless Pursuit!
Our Mission-Vision-Value embodies this… Think long term. Do the right thing. Create win, win, wins!
To all of you who have helped support our searches, made recommendations, provided references, communicated ideas and participated in the search processes with us, we cannot thank you enough. Without your help, we could not succeed. Thank you! Stay safe and Healthy!
