Executive & Leadership Searches
The success of your team, division, or company depends on finding the right leader that models your values, integrates into your culture, and has the aptitude and expertise to deliver results.
This important process must be done well the first time. Second chances cost far too much and are not an option.
The team at Premierehire has the expertise to execute your search with great results the first time.
When a search fails the toll is significant
Most of us have had this happen – everything lined up well, the interview and lunch went great, you enjoyed the conversations, the candidate’s experience was what you needed, others gave them a thumbs up, so you hired them.
Then in a few weeks or a few months people start complaining, the team is stressed, metrics are missed, and fingers start pointing.
You observe your new leader as either stressed out or with their head in the sand. Now you are playing mediator, investing hours to make things work & right the ship. You are either hoping your new hire does not bail or assessing if you need to pull the plug.
We have been there too – it is exhausting.
Finding the right person and integrating them is not easy, especially when you already have a full plate, recruiting is not your day-to-day priority, and multiple stakeholders are involved. Add in deadline pressures and unconscious bias, and you might be led down the wrong path.
While you are doing your best, all this can lead to a scattered process, poor decisions, ho hum start ups, and a misaligned hire. A poor fit or poor start can cost you in employee morale, profits, and the direct cost of potentially replacing a new person (estimates are up to 2x their salary. 1
When the search and onboarding succeed
A proven process plus an experienced search team will reward you with results beyond what you could accomplish squeezing in a few extra hours a day.
Plus our broad network and ability to talk with passive candidates open up a broader pool of top shelf people.
Stay focused on your priorities and let us find, screen, and present top people for you to make a final decision on.
We help ensure the interview process serves everyone well, offers are accepted, and onboarding goes exceptionally well due to the advanced preparation and accelerated ‘get to know you’ tools for the new leader and their team.
