We believe every candidate hired will impact our client's bottom-line and culture, and we bring this sense of importance to every search.

Long-term partnerships are what matter to us. Like Tenzing Norgay, we work with our partners not only to get them to the top of their "peak" as a company, but also to help them navigate their growth plans every step of the way.

Challenging Mandates
Finding the Unfindable
Portfolio Company Recruiting
We've found that the most successful searches are executed by doing the obvious: building strong relationships with candidates. We work hard to build deep and durable relationships that last throughout the course of our candidates' careers. By understanding our candidates' long-term motivations, skills, and goals, we are better able to present them with relevant opportunities that will help them take their careers to the next level.
OUR DETERMINATION TO SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATE THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE RECRUITING PROCESS IS WHAT SETS US APART.
We are experts in recruiting and understanding our clients’ needs. Our team has a combined total of 40 years’ experience within financial services and recruiting, with as well as a proven track record of over 500 placements across a variety of functions and levels. Our team has first-hand experience in roles as diverse as COO, CFO, and CRO, and is able to leverage this important perspective in identifying and assessing talent within those business units. Our combined 40 years of recruiting experience also gives us a deep understanding of how to successfully assess and place candidates at all levels and functional areas.
We know that identifying great candidates is just the beginning of a successful talent strategy. We view our relationship with our clients as a long-term partnership toward building industry-leading companies. This perspective informs how we approach every client and every mandate. When our clients engage us for a search, we do not simply identify candidates based on a checklist of basic skillsets, but are focused on finding the best-fit professionals who will be the right cultural matches for our clients over the long haul. Our clients also know that we are dedicated tothey can count on us them regardless of whether we are actively engaged with them in a search. Our clients come to us throughout the year for advice on compensation, industry trends, competitor analysis, and other strategic talent initiatives. We also regularly advise our clients on best practices related to internal HR, recruiting, and retention strategies. These relationships are rooted in our belief that we are the best recruiters for our clients when we know them deeply and comprehensively and they view us as a trusted adviser.
We are dedicated to closing the search with the best candidate possible. This commitment to our clients’ best interests is reflected in our fee structure. Traditional retained search firms charge the full fee over the course of the search engagement, regardless of whether a placement occurs. When clients engage these firms, the only thing that is guaranteed is that the search firms will be paid. We take a different approach. Our fee structures emphasize partnership and a mutual commitment, from both our team and our client partners, to closing the search with the best-fit candidate. Over time, we have found that our unique fee structure leads to more successful placements as well as longer-term relationships with our clients.
