Providing Individualized Solutions Is Our Top Priority
Our approach is based on establishing long-term relationships with both our clients and the candidates who have come to trust us with their careers.
What separates us from other firms is that we don’t take short cuts. We utilize deep knowledge of our clients gained by learning extensively about corporate culture, management style, strategic objectives, and the many intangibles that make each company unique. By thoroughly and objectively screening, qualifying, and vetting candidates, we present a limited number of potential hires, all of whom are qualified to perform the role to be filled. This approach saves our clients time because they interview fewer people. Open positions are filled more expeditiously with a lower fiscal investment. Candidates are thoroughly educated as to what to expect should the process result in an offer. In a word, quality beats quantity in every way.
Our on-going attention to detail prevents any surprises during the interview and negotiation process.
When it comes to Buy Side Advisory & Industry Consulting, our attention to detail and network allows us to align your business goals and culture with the right leadership team, company or group to hire or acquire. Our deep history within the industry allows us to guide your organization past pitfalls and dangerous terrain whether you’re entering equipment finance for the first time or expanding your existing enterprise into new segments.
Your Liaison For Life
At Executive Solutions, we are proud of our successful placement record and the lasting relationships we have formed with our clients and candidates. Our clients have learned that we can be trusted to provide them with impartial information about “the real person” behind the resume based on our in-depth and historical perspective. Our candidates have learned that we can be trusted to impartially advise them as they consider the companies and roles they’re considering—whether or not they are our clients. Because we look to successfully fulfilling our clients’ needs for decades rather than as individual placements, we are proud to be valued partners.
Most importantly, our association with clients does not end when we complete a placement. We make a point of following up with you and the people we have placed on an ongoing basis, to make sure your new hires continue to meet and exceed your expectations. In addition to facilitating transitions from one company to another, we can help with a wide range of business issues, such as assessing sales incentive plans, initial and on-going evaluation and remediation of staff, plans for growth into new markets and team acquisition to addressing the industry perception of your company.
We believe the Equipment Leasing & Finance industry we should continually seek fresh talent by attracting new entrants to enrich the leasing talent pool. Accordingly, we work with our clients on “Fresh Talent” searches which involves the development of a comprehensive education and training program in tandem with pro-active out of industry recruiting of recent graduates and more junior professionals.
Regardless of your needs, you can count on Executive Solutions to be your business liaison for life.
