We handle each executive search engagement as an custom market research project.
We start by developing a clear understanding of your needs, your organization and its corporate culture. We discuss the hierarchy of your organization, the scope of authority for the position we are filling and your vision of the position in the future. Our goal with our custom executive search process, always, is to be sure the candidates we select will fit into your organization, be immediately productive and remain highly productive far into the future.
To select candidates, our researchers and recruiters conduct a thorough market analysis. We identify and recruit the best candidates through our custom executive search proceedures – not simply the most available.
We know how to navigate organizational labyrinths to reach specialists. Our custom executive search and candidate research includes cross-industry evaluations, to assess other sources of talent that parallel the requirements of the position. The breadth and depth of our market research and our extensive knowledge of the marketplace gives you the confidence you deserve to be sure you are making an excellent hiring decision.
“Robert Pestreich and his staff are experienced, knowledgeable, and discerning. Our firm utilized their services for a Managing Director of Portfolio Management search. They were thorough in their research and demonstrated that they were conversant with the broad outline of our investment philosophy. I certainly would utilize the services of Harrison, Stone & Associates in the future , and they would be among my top choices for the services of an executive search firm. We deeply appreciated Robert and his colleagues’ assistance and enjoyed working with them!” – David L., Chief Investment Officer, Asset Management Firm
