Letter From The President
Have you ever been part of designing a company’s tagline? It is amazing how much thought, soul searching, and debate can go into developing such a small statement, which, in our case, ended up being six simple words. You dig deep, into the very essence of your organization, why you exist, and the value you bring to your clients. For us, we concluded that It’s more than whom we know”.
At one point, it was just “It’s who we know,” because having been in our industry for over 30 years, we have built relationships with a vast network of top players. We know where they excel, what is important to them, what’s missing in their current role that would have them want to make a move, which companies would spark their interest, and what locations would get them closer to family And because our long-term relationships have been proven over the years, they listen when we say we have an opportunity for them. This led us to our initial value proposition of being quickly able to find our clients highly desirable candidates with specific skills and industry experience.
Then, we reached out to our clients who added the “More Than “. One of the most insightful inputs we received was from a client who wrote to me, you guys “get it”. You understand my needs; you listen; your candidates are the right profile. You seek, tell the (my) story, help build my relationship with the person, and work the deal.
You help the candidate understand the opportunity and me understand the value of the candidate. This was just one of many comments that led us to add “more than” to the tagline. It’s the “more” that we do at every step, with the most important – closing each deal so our clients get their number one choice.
Because “it’s ‘more’ than who we know” we can contribute to our clients’ success by making sure the exceptional talent we introduce them to joins their organizations. We help our hiring managers become known within their organization for their ability to build extraordinarily capable teams, and we bring our candidates opportunities that will enhance their careers.
This is our continued goal – to build lasting, integrity-based relationships that take recruiting to a whole new paradigm. We take a hands-on approach, managing the entire recruiting process in the professional manner you deserve. Our priority is to secure talented industry-specific candidates by recruiting, referrals, past relationships, and our current database of over 250,000 industry leaders. And, we thrive on adding outstanding talent to our clients’ teams. We are thankful that we have over 90% repeat business from managers who were satisfied with our services and are here to earn your respect one placement at a time.
Please call us with your assignments as you find the need to build your team. I welcome your thoughts on how we can continue to build our partnership.
