Our Consultative Partnership Process

Strategic Discovery, Intake and Takeoff

We begin with deep discovery sessions to understand your business strategy, growth plans, organizational culture, and leadership gaps. Together, we define success criteria that go beyond job descriptions to capture the leadership attributes that will drive results in your unique context.

Passive Talent Funnel: Market Intelligence & Talent Mapping

Leveraging our extensive industry networks and market knowledge, we map the competitive landscape and identify high-potential leaders who match your strategic requirements. We provide insights on talent availability, compensation trends, and competitive intelligence that inform your approach.

Candidate Screening and Qualification: Rigorous Assessment & Vetting

Every candidate undergoes comprehensive evaluation including behavioral interviews, 360-degree reference checks with former colleagues at all levels, and verification of credentials and employment history. We assess not just capabilities, but cultural fit and potential for long-term impact.

Strategic Candidate Presentations and Interviews

You receive detailed assessments of each finalist, including insights into their leadership style, proven results, motivations, and potential fit with your team. We facilitate meaningful conversations that help you evaluate both competence and chemistry.

Optional Executive Assessment & Due Diligence

For critical roles, we offer executive assessment services that provide deep insights into behavioral competencies, leadership potential, and development needs. These assessments synthesize multiple data points to give you confidence in high-stakes hiring decisions. For Senor executives and C-Level candidates this is highly recommended.

Offer and Placement: Onboarding Partnership & Integration Support

Our engagement doesn't end at offer acceptance. We provide onboarding guidance and serve as a sounding board during the critical first 90 days to ensure successful integration and accelerate time-to-impact.

Finding the right leader requires strategic thinking, rigorous assessment, and collaborative partnership. Our White Hat Roundup© process is designed to bring clarity to complex hiring decisions and deliver leaders who create lasting value.
