OUR CLIENTS AND CANDIDATES HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD
"When you need to pick up a pack of generic pens, you stop at Walgreens. But when you're signing something that matters, you reach for a Mont Blanc.
Executive search works the same way. High-volume hiring? Large firms excel at processing candidates efficiently. But when you need a Finance Director who understands telecom M&A, a Technology VP who can navigate higher education politics, or a hospitality executive who's managed multi-property operations—you need a firm that knows your world.
That's where boutique search makes the difference. We've spent decades building relationships in Higher Education, Telecommunications, Life Sciences, Technology, and Hospitality. We don't just match keywords on resumes—we understand the nuances of your industry, the complexities of your culture, and the specific expertise your role demands."

Specific wins to highlight:
For over three decades, we've specialized in placing executives across five demanding sectors:
Higher Education – We understand the unique challenges of academic institutions, from navigating shared governance to balancing mission with margin. We've earned third-party vendor status with key players in education and maintain decade-long relationships that give us access to candidates who aren't actively looking.
Since our firm is smaller and more personal, you will deal directly with the person in charge of your requisition. Our elite recruiters have years of experience that put them in touch with the needs of your company and the needs of your industry.
Need a candidate with special technical training? Maybe you need a staffing firm with in-depth knowledge of your industry to help develop a specialized recruiting plan? That’s the number-one beauty of a boutique firm – just like you, they have a niche, and that niche is you. By narrowing in on specific fields, boutique firms understand the nuances of your industry.
The talent pool at boutique firms boasts highly trained temporary, permanent and temp-to-hire workers. These candidates are rigorously pre-screened, including interviews and assessments. They typically have established relationships with the firm and are proven to be reliable, hard working skilled professionals.
At a boutique firm, communication is key. Since you don’t have to cut your way through a jungle of middle management and entry-level workers, you get more opportunities to engage in a thoughtful, intellectual manner. Your insights and honesty are not only listened to – they are encouraged.
