The Cornerstone Approach
First, we listen. While other executive search firms have their way of doing things, we prefer to take your lead and learn first. Once we know you and your story, we assemble our team around your needs.
Led by a highly specialized and experienced Partner within the firm, your customized search starts to take shape. We work hand-in-hand with your hiring team in order to create a winning plan of action, based on performance milestones and a clear understanding of expectations.
We built our trusted process over 20 years of specialized executive search within the life sciences space. During this time, we have developed an expansive network of relationships, that we couple with a cutting-edge approach to our research, outreach, follow-up and advertising campaign to find the candidates you want.
From here, your search remains in the hands of a trusted Partner, who plays an active, end-to-end role. This includes the most critical communication in the process – the first interaction with the candidate themself. The candidate relationship is led by the Partner all the way to the offer stage and eventual onboarding.
