Our Story
We set out to discover why executive search didn’t work for Black women. What we learned surprised us: Executive search didn’t work for anyone.
Companies were hiring resumes and who they knew -- not for values fit, growth stage and technical skills. New executives didn’t know what culture, values, or growth stage they were walking into.
After a lot of time, money, and frustration, the new executive would leave. A “good fit” on day one, was not a good fit in year one. And the search would be repeated.
Nationally, 50% of external searches end in a failed search.
So, we looked at the rules of executive search. And decided to rewrite them. To work for everyone.
Instead of hiring embellishments of success and erasures of failure (resumes), we make matches based on skills, values, and company stage of growth.
Instead of drawing from the usual suspects or duplicating your efforts, we build a powerful executive pool reflective of America. 70% of our growing network of over 10,000 is Black, Asian or Latine/x.
Instead of choosing executives based on the loudest (or wealthiest) voice in the room, we leverage a method backed by evidence and data to choose your just-right executive.
The result:
>> You match with an executive primed to perform -- right skills, right values and right stage of growth.
>> You cultivate a team and board who believe in the executive team you are building. Even if their person didn’t get picked. Even if they wanted the job. Even if they dislike search firms.
>> You have done the search right, so you won’t have to do it over.
Are you ready to match with the just-right executive for your stage of growth?
