Finding talent to launch a new division

How one agency found more than they hoped for
when searching for executive talent.

Senior executives have an enormous impact on your agency’s profitability. In order to find a leader with special talent to drive your company’s growth, you might have to look beyond your own network.

Challenge:
Phillips & Cohen Associates was launching a new international division and needed to find someone to manage the startup — everything from site selection to running the new office. The role required a combination of specialized skills that were difficult to find. The new division was not public knowledge, so they needed to keep the opening confidential.

Solution:
Our executive staffing partner, Executive Alliance, was called upon to conduct a search. They are the industry’s leading search firm — with hundreds of successful placements conducted in the industry.

Using their industry connections, Executive Alliance quickly and quietly developed a short list of candidates. Not only did they find an excellent candidate for the position, but during the interview process, they identified a second candidate who was perfect for heading up Phillips & Cohen’s new West Coast operations center.

In short order, Phillips & Cohen wanted — and found — two talented executives who lived up to their best-in-class standards and are well qualified for leading the company into a new phase of growth.
