Fast Placement

Years ago, the executive search process was more time consuming.  We actually mailed resumes to our out of town clients.  Then came the fax machine, which revolutionized our business, and the speed with which we could present candidates.  And finally, email!  Now we can get off the phone with a candidate, and have a presentation in a client’s inbox within minutes.

So why does it take so long to finalize a placement these days?  One would think a motivated client could fill a position in the span of 2 weeks.

Well one just did!  We made the presentation on May 27th, and the offer was accepted this morning.  Three interviews took place; 2 phone and one face to face.

What a pleasure to work with a client and candidate that were decisive.  The client interviewed 4 of our candidates and moved the process along daily.  The candidate, who was employed, juggled his schedule as required to accomodate the client’s interview requests.  And when the offer was extended…he accepted.  He didn’t take 3 days “to think about it”; he had been thinking about it all along.

Over the past year we have seen search processes take so long that by the time the client was ready to extend the offer the candidate had already accepted employment elsewhere.  This search never lost its momentum.  We initiated our efforts immediately, and with the constant effort and follow through of a client that was serious about making a hire, the process moved along seamlessly.

Truly a pleasure!
