Executive Search

RETAINED

A retained search assures customers a total commitment from StraussGroup to present a minimum of four to eight qualified candidates typically within six to eight weeks. 3-5 qualified candidates in 30 days with a 95% fill rate.

Each search begins with a designated team of at least three StraussGroup experts: an industry specific search consultant, a sophisticated research analyst (project coordinator) and dedicated administrative support staff.

Our Proven Retained Search Process​

Developed to serve you with excellence & efficiency.

Plan & Source: Weeks 1-3​

We begin each search with a thorough kick-off process to understand the company and collaboratively define the role. The first thing we do is sync with our clients to develop the key competencies of the role and complete an Opportunity Profile that we provide to our candidates. We then begin networking with our robust database to identify well-qualified candidates, while concurrently conducting original research and market outreach. Within the first two to three weeks, we present an initial slate of qualified and fully vetted candidates for review to assure that we are aligned on the Opportunity Profile.
