WELCOME TO SAN FRANCISCO EXECUTIVE SEARCH
The Bay Area’s Preferred Permanent Placement Search Firm
Trying to be “all things to all people” is a flawed approach and at San Francisco Executive Search, we are specialists at networking with the top professionals in the Bay area. This commitment to the a defined market offers our clients unrivaled access to the best and brightest as we have the ability to connect with people in ways that a company could never achieve through online job posting sites. The bottom line is organizations with the best talent always win and those taking a passive “let’s see who sends us their resume” strategy are doomed to fail as there is no place for laziness in the competitive global market.
Steve Jobs once said, “I noticed that the dynamic range between what an average person could accomplish and what the best person could accomplish was 50 or 100 to 1. Given that, you’re well advised to go after the cream of the crop. A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.” Therefore, according to Steve Job’s extensive experience, the return on investment for hiring the best versus an average employee was 50 or 100 to 1.
RECRUITING VERSUS POSTING
Targeting Great Talent Beats Hiring Who’s “Looking”
Among accomplished and seasoned professionals, its universally accepted that you need to aggressively recruit the best as they are in-demand and actively the target of recruiting efforts. In comparison, the candidate who is “looking” resorts to the job boards because nobody is calling them about opportunities which should serve as a barometer regarding someone’s abilities.
Failing companies will always view recruiting fees as an expense whereas a successful organization will view them as an investment that offers a return on investment of “50 or 100 to 1”. Furthermore, top performing companies recognize a great hire contributes to an organization for many years as they elevate the performance of those around them while also increasing the company’s appeal to other top professionals in the industry.
“Our company was experiencing tremendous growth and we simply did not have the bandwidth or the right people to help us grow effectively. Thankfully, we were introduced to your firm at the perfect time and I could kiss you guys on both cheeks for delivering us stars every single time”
CEO, HEALTHCARE COMPANY
“As the CEO of a San Francisco start-up, I can attest small companies have a far more challenging task in getting the best people to come and take a chance with them. In addition, you want somebody who embodies the values of the organization while also being incredibly passionate about executing the mission statement.
San Francisco Executive Search not only found the right people but they also guided all parties so everyone’s bests interests were served. Who am I gonna call to get the ideal candidate…San Francisco Executive Search.”
