Discovering and assessing the absolute best leader for any role is very important! Don’t risk having your search handed off to a junior associate at one of the “Big 10” firms (where you would typically have no further communication with the “Sr. Business Development Rep” who sold you on using that firm in the first place). It would likely take four to six months to run the search, potentially ending up with a rejected offer, or worse yet - a nightmare scenario in the form of a bad hire.

Acceptance Rate
Based on research and 35 years of experience, we know offers extended by Hiring Managers and/or HR Leaders result in approx. a 40% rejection rate and typically require two weeks to wrap up.
