Fulcrum stands out from other search firms for these three reasons:

1. Focus on identifying talented executives with the skills, personality and character to perform in a fast paced owner driven business.

2. Unconditional one year guarantee.

3. We stay involved the first year to help the owner and new executive avoid unnecessary disagreements and misunderstandings and form a solid working relationship. We guide goal setting, monitor performance and facilitate difficult and important discussions.

Our searches include the following steps:

• In depth interviews and follow up meetings that build consensus on hiring specifications

• Position descriptions that include stretch goals that are subsequently used in evaluating the new executive's performance during the first year of employment.

• Recommendation of actions to the company so that it can take appropriate responsibility for the success of the person they hire.

• Best practices in finding candidates.

• In depth 360 degree assessment of candidates.

• Coordinating the involvement of all stakeholders in the review of qualifications, character and personality.

• We stay involved the first year to help the owner and new executive avoid unnecessary disagreements and misunderstandings and form a solid working relationship. We guide goal setting, monitor performance and facilitate difficult and important discussions. However, we remain ready to recommend termination in those rare cases when this step will be in our client's best interest.

We have the flexibility to unbundle search services and provide
the exact help a client needs to ensure that they hire smartly.
