Get matched with top executive talent in 3-5 days. Our Process is Easy.
1. ECA / Client Scoping Call
Led by an ECA Director, we use these sessions to gather your requirements and get an in-depth understanding of the details around desired outcomes, timing, and ideal candidate backgrounds.
2. Talent Matching < 24 Hours
In this phase we reach out to candidates in our VIP network. We'll pre-screen each candidate to verify availability and discuss engagement details. Candidates are then presented to client.
3. Candidate Onboarding
An Engagement Kick Off / Planning session is held with the client, candidate and ECA. We perform weekly check-ins and maintain contact throughout the duration of the assignment, ensuring success.
Typical interim and fractional firms take 5-6 months to make a placement with little to no emphasis on quality.
Lengthy Search Process
Most recruiters work on several roles at the same time, which can often result in lengthy hiring times
Financial Risks
On average, a bad hire costs businesses in the US about $17,000. And that's without considering lost productivity and business disruptions.
Lack of Geographic Coverage
Most firms only provide remote resources that aren't local to your area.
Poor Candidate Quality
Recruiters often reach out to unknown candidates. They tend to rely heavily on publicly available networks like LinkedIn where there is no guarantee that candidates are actually available or interested.
Operational & Confidentiality Risks
A 'hands off' approach often leaves clients stuck with a bad hire. There is limited confidentiality assurance and a lack of safeguards on what is shared with candidates.
ECA places the top 1% of interim leaders in days, not months.
* Average placement time for 2024 was 18 days.

We personally discuss interim needs in a video meeting with pre-vetted candidates and these include in-depth discussions to ensure the perfect fit for your needs. Candidates are often presented within 24 hours.
