Your search assignments are valuable to us.

Because we value you and your search assignments are valuable to us, at Susan Goldberg Executive Search Consulting, conducting a retained executive search consulting project is not about playing the shell game with executives in our database.

Your Needs are Unique

As each client is special and unique, so is each executive search.

It is a focused strategic detailed process that requires diligence and on average requires us to speak with between 150 and 300 unique people to gather their feedback, interest level, qualifications and referrals. Those who pass the first qualifiers have to be further interviewed for the intangibles that would make them the right fit for the position or not. Equally as important, if not more essential, proper consideration must be given to the right fit within your corporate culture.

You Deserve SGES Experience and Attention

Retained search is part learned detailed research and analysis, part understanding of the position and your requirements, part innate people skills. It is part science and part art.

Art

• That's when our 18 years of detailed experience becomes the focus and a certain innate ability to read an individual's body language, interpret responses, interpret references responses, and other people skills become essential for us to do our job well and do your search assignment the justice it deserves.
• SGES understands that in the course of a search project, criteria and priorities change: sometimes the decision maker or decision making process changes. We can work through those changes.
• And SGES will take care of each candidate for your retained search, acknowledging the talented executives for who they are. We understand how we treat these people is as an extension of you, your business and brand. We communicate with candidates throughout the entire search process offering advice, feedback and continual contact so that they feel appreciated.
  
  Candidates need to have a positive experience or we haven't fulfilled our promise to you or them.

Science

• We acknowledge that to fill an executive position for our client with the care and detail a project demands, can require at least 200 hours worth of a search consultant's time.
• We'll take some of the guesswork out of your hiring process, by offering you a comprehensive view of the executives who are available and willing to speak with us about your potential career opportunity.
