Top-Tier Executive Search Practice

as a top-tier Executive Search Consultant. Prior to becoming a recruiter, Ron worked 20 years as asenior management professional in both Public Accounting with Arthur Andersen and Food Industry Corporate Finance with John Labatt Foods, Sargento Foods, and Anchor Food Products.

Superior Speed, Results and Candidate Quality

We carefully identify all critical candidate

requirements and then directly recruit candidates who match that defined profile. We have a strong history and reputation of filling positions quickly and with outstanding, well-qualified candidates. We follow the mantra: be responsive, be professional and deliver above expectations.

Performance-Based Retained Search

After paying a small initial retainer, you don’t pay any more until we complete the search to your satisfaction. Compare this to the national retained firms that bill you 100% of their fee within 60 days of starting the search, even if they fail to present a single candidate.

Contingency Search Option

A specialized option for your convenience to try our services without any long-term commitment. We request a period of exclusivity, normally 45 to 60 days, before engaging other recruiting firms on the same search.

Fully-Guaranteed Candidates and Fees

If a candidate that we have placed with your company leaves voluntarily or is terminated within the guarantee period, we will replace that individual in the same position at no extra cost. Up-front retainers are guaranteed to be applied to a completed

retained search.

“Ron was one of the most professional agencies I have worked with since

 being at Alcan. I look forward to working with him on further assignments.”
