Stories

We were closing out two searches for a Fortune 100 client of ours when they asked us if we could take on a senior security search. Given that our client was a technology company, I naturally assumed they wanted us to fill a cybersecurity position but I was ever wrong! Instead, they needed us to recruit a private bodyguard for their CEO. Not being one to back down from a challenge, I took on the search and proceeded to hunt down the bodyguards for some of North America's most successful Tech executives. I also had the opportunity to speak with a bunch of secret service people who had been protecting the US leadership for decades.  This was a thrilling and rewarding search that ended up with me stealing the CEO bodyguard from one of the world's largest and most influential tech companies and placing him with my Fortune 500 client. 

Call Security!

We were retained to find a Sales VP by a leading information integration company. This is was a difficult search for a variety of reason but we found the perfect candidate for the role. Our Client extended the offer and as we were reviewing it with our candidate, she told us that her current employer was throwing a bunch of money at her to stay.  

As it would happen, my associate had read an article that very day about how when someone starts interviewing for a new job and they receive a reasonable offer, they will make the move. Employers will try to convince them to stay. They will entice people with raises, promotions, more autonomy or whatever else they think the employee needs but in the end, it's a losing battle. Either enough had gone wrong with the working relationship or the employee had outgrown the company. They will leave. 

What did we do? We sent the article to our candidate, asked them to listen to their heart, and let us know their decision the next day.  We didn't pressure them or coerce them. People make their own decisions for their own reasons and we needed to respect that. In the end, our candidate accepted the offer and joined our client for 5 years!

There are no coincidences 

We were asked by a leading construction management company to find a VP Development. We hadn't done anything in construction management before and at first glance, the search didn't seem that difficult. It was effectively a Project Management and Financial Planning and Budgeting role baked into one. These are easy positions to fill and truthfully, the combined role shouldn't require the involvement of an executive recruiter. But this position was special! What made this role challenging is that the person had to have very specific experience within the fabrications industry which consists of a relatively small community of people. Our client knew the industry players well and wasn't interested in any of them so they tasked us to look elsewhere. We searched high and low and finally found an American working in the Middle East who fit the bill perfectly. We brought him home and landed him the job.
