Executive Search

In far too many companies, the processes for executive search are broken. We say this because today,

• Too many companies and their consultants hire as if skills and experience were all that mattered. Skills and experience are important. But cultural fit is often the single greatest factor in determining the long-term success of company and executive.
• Too many companies have never articulated the essence of their business cultures. This inevitably leads to costly mistakes in hiring: namely, the organization hires executives who don't fit the culture.
• Many small- to mid-market companies lack sophisticated interviewing and hiring processes for executive-level candidates.

Your company gains an accomplished executive who fits your culture, and a powerful set of tools you can leverage across your business for years to come.

This process requires significant time getting to know your company. That's why Pappas DeLaney performs executive searches exclusively on a retained basis, which allows for the kind of in-depth, ongoing business relationship it takes to develop a thorough understanding of your culture, your strategy and your goals.

Quality Candidates, Long-Term Commitment
Like other firms, we work with an extensive, national database of contacts. Unlike many, however, we emphasize quality over quantity. You won't waste your time and resources evaluating candidates who don't fit the role or your culture.

Our clients say we display a tenacity to find the right fit that's rare in the industry. And no competing firm places as much emphasis as Pappas Delaney does on equipping clients to succeed after the engagement.

The proof lies in our track record of long-lasting executive placements — and the long-term relationships we've built with the clients we serve.
