Our Approach: We work hard to find our clients the talent they need. (In fact, not finding the perfect candidate occasionally keeps us up at night.) We deal with luminaries and executives considered to be the "best of the best". So you have to be smart, charming, articulate, well-read, and well spoken. Our associates are highly interactive and collaborative-- checking in, sharing observations, brainstorming, asking questions, and helping one another. As an elite team, we're pretty driven. So we expect the best from ourselves and each other. We do a lot of calling, so you actually have to like to pick up the phone and talk to people you don't know. We do a lot of online research and data entry, rapidly entering, updating and cleaning data as we go. In fact, we find the work strangely meditative, like working to fill in the missing pieces in a gigantic data jigsaw puzzle. We have a stated "goodness" ethos, so you have to care about the candidate, about the client, and about your team because you believe you can make a real difference. (No jerks allowed.) In fact, we actually believe we can help make the world a better place -- one hire at a time.
