MY APPROACH
|
One point of accountability.Many executive searches are divided among multiple people. A partner secures the engagement, a research team builds the candidate list, an associate conducts first-round interviews, and the partner returns later to present finalists. While each handoff may seem small, important context and nuance get lost along the way.
My practice is built differently. From our first conversation to my final recommendation, you'll work directly with me. Discovery before search.Before the search begins, I invest meaningful time getting to know your business, your leadership team, and what you're really looking for in your next executive.
These discussions often uncover priorities, leadership qualities, and organizational dynamics that rarely make it into a position description. This understanding informs every conversation, every evaluation, and every recommendation that follows. Searching beyond the obvious.The strongest talent is rarely on the market.
Through targeted research, trusted relationships, and direct outreach, I connect with accomplished executives who are unlikely to respond to a job posting but are open to a thoughtful conversation when the right opportunity comes along. Every recommendation is personal.Executive hiring is ultimately about people.
Beyond experience and qualifications, I'm looking to understand how a candidate communicates, leads, makes decisions, and approaches challenges. Those aren't qualities you can fully appreciate from a résumé. That's why, before recommending a candidate to you, I've spoken with them personally. My goal isn't to present the largest slate of candidates. It's to recommend a small number of executives who deserve your serious consideration. |
Hiring is never easy, as it can be a long process to find the right candidate. I am happy to say that was not the case with Joe Ehrlich. Our organization engaged Joe for the first time, and my personal experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Joe spent significant time up front with me to truly understand the ideal candidate profile, identify any deal breakers, understand the role and what the day to day looks like, and even to get to know me personally, so he could ensure the candidates he brought forward would be the right fit for everyone. With his proactive approach, he presented good, qualified candidates, and I’m happy to share that we quickly hired the perfect one.
Joe’s expectations, communication, and follow-through were outstanding during the entire process, and I completely trust him. He is focused on bringing the right hire, not just filling a position. If you are looking for the real deal in a recruiter, a down to earth and genuine person, Joe is the recruiter you want to work with.
