What the Chicago market looks like.
A typical executive search engagement in Chicago starts with head of operations search and either holds or grows into CFO search. The bench across Logan Square and Hyde Park is what keeps us short.

Our process
Our executive search process.
A Tuesday call fields a candidate by Thursday or Friday in most executive search categories. How that works: we scope the role and the compensation, then we map the market quietly, and we and close the offer. Market mapping keeps the screen tight. Clients across Logan Square and Pilsen see this most weeks.

We scope the role and the compensation, map the market quietly, present a short list of three to five, run a structured loop, and close the offer. For executive search we verify right to work, run background and reference checks, and confirm any required credentials before placement.
