Competitive Advantages
The strengths we seem to possess include.When considering a candidate universe, we have a very small "off limits" list, likely the biggest risk companies take in hiring our national search firm competitors. A national search firm can be conflicted out of more than 50% of the potential candidate market. We are never conflicted out of more than 5% of the potential candidate market. When executing a search, we provide you with a broader view of the candidate market.
We provide more attractive fee prices and structure in seeking distinct advantages over our national search firm competitors. Our prices are more reasonable because our overhead is more manageable. Our fees are structured to protect the client's interest while inspiring us to complete assignments as quickly as possible.
We complete searches quicker, seeking to build rather than maintain our reputation. Our Principals are hands on. We personally execute search projects. Our national competitors assign execution responsibilities to less experienced search Associates. With us, you get an experienced search professional both developing and executing search strategy. Our execution approach tied to our fee structure drives searches to completion quicker than our competitors.
We have a narrow and unique focus. We have found no firm outside of New York City, and few within, that can match the breadth and depth of our corporate finance search experience. We have executed searches for the buy side, the sell side, corporate banks, private equity and debt investors and operating companies. We have been executing private investor portfolio company searches since 1986.
We have a business owner/entrepreneurial perspective with a natural focus on the bottom line because we live bottom line. When considering candidates, we are naturally attracted to entrepreneurial personalities; the people that treat their work like owners, not just employees.
We have over twenty-five years of seasoned search experience, a survivor of three full business cycles as a stand-alone business. Few firms beyond our national search firm competitors can claim surviving three full business cycles, testament to our ability, adaptability, tenacity and client value proposition.
