Our Approach.
We believe we should know as many potential candidates as possible so we can quickly react to client needs. Our search efforts frequently begin long before you consult us, as we track candidates’ careers within our areas of expertise. The trust we develop with candidates, before your need arises, positions us to respond rapidly to you. We understand a timely response from us is essential to you when you are accountable for the fulfillment of your company’s objectives.
Asset managers with $100 million to hundreds of billions under management have used us to recruit key people. Processes for those clients vary widely when candidates are evaluated for positions. We will adapt to and respect whatever process works for you and your associates. Never think twice about contacting us by phone, email or text if you would like to ask questions or have an exploratory conversation.
