Being seen by corporate clients and candidates as a towering functional expert requires that we consistently nail certain objective performance measures that translate into tangible benefits to you. Here's our record:
Eighty percent of our search projects come from current clients and their referrals and from past candidates who've experienced our process and want that level of thoroughness brought to bear on their own key openings. We feel these constitute the ultimate recognition of our performance and compatibility.
We've developed a proprietary electronic database which is approaching 39,000 P&C executives in 6,400 company locations. This tool helps immensely to rapidly target high-potential candidates and reliable networking partners to get a new project moving quickly.
Nine of every ten executives we place were not in the job market when we first contacted them about our search. These are busy people who are generally disinterested in communicating about job opportunities. Our longstanding reputation gets us access to them and the time to convey the value in exploring a client's proposition.
Being able to understand a client's vision of the ideal executive and then delivering only on-point candidates for consideration is a key determinant of a search firm's effectiveness. Our ratio of short-list candidate interviews to placements is three to one. This is extremely efficient for our clients who therefore spend less time and expense interviewing. Because of the depth and quality of our screening, it's not uncommon for clients to make an immediate offer to the first candidate they meet.
Our three year stick-rate of placed candidates approaches 100%.
