Maximizing Your
Opportunity
Leadership transition has far-reaching and powerful
implications. A thoughtful executive search process greatly
enhances an organization's ability to capitalize on the opportunity
afforded by a leadership change to direct the course of the
organization's future.

Assessing the Challenge
Successful leadership transition demands that decision makers
address critical issues of strategy and governance. Integral
to our approach is a rigorous examination of the challenges
facing the organization and new leadership. We carefully consider
the organization's vision in the context of history, internal
and external circumstances, and the influence of concerned
groups.

Attracting Top
Talent
We have an extensive network of contacts and a
database drawn from hundreds of searches. We know well the
leaders in a range of disciplines. Building a rich pool of
candidates is crucial. It requires resourcefulness and tenacity.
Often the best potential candidates are not seeking new positions;
they need to be recruited. With candid and thoughtful advocacy
on your behalf, we are able to attract the energetic interest
of top talent.

Taking Care of
Details
Scheduling, answering inquiries, sending
thank-yous and no-thank-yous are often the most distracting
and time consuming parts of a search. We look after these details
so you don't have to, and we do it in a way that conveys a good
impression of you. |
|
|
Understanding
the Candidates
We believe it is our job to foster an open
exchange between client and candidate, paving the way for probing
questions about how candidates would deal with real challenges,
situations, and problems. Informed candidates, who have a realistic
understanding of your organization and its culture, will provide
you with in-depth, meaningful answers that give you a clear
picture of how they think, lead, approach problems and create
solutions. Our references on final candidates are extraordinarily
thorough. We pursue references until clear patterns emerge.
Our references provide important information that confirms and
augments the interviews. |

Conducting a Timely
Search
We know you face real time pressures. In
our search for the best candidates we are diligent about moving
carefully and efficiently. We remain committed to the timely
conclusion of your search. Most Ford Webb searches result in
hiring decisions within 90 days. |

Making the Best
Choice
We help you choose the best candidate. A
Ford Webb search is a fluid process, involving extensive networking
and careful consideration, aimed at developing a field of qualified
individuals who possess the attributes you seek and a range
of styles, philosophies, and viewpoints for you to consider.
We work with you to understand the differences among candidates,
how each would influence the performance of your organization,
and the likely differences in direction each would bring about.
When it is time to decide, you want to be sure of your decision. |
