Executive Search
Experience the Gilman Partners Difference.
Here are just some of the things our long-time clients say differentiate us from other search firms.
We Act in Your Best Interest
When we partner with clients, we become an extension of their leadership team and act accordingly. We succeed by doing what’s right — not what’s easy.
We Work Hard to Understand your Culture
We invest heavily to understand our clients’ organizational culture so we can assess candidate fit — one of the critical elements of employee engagement, success, and retention.
We'll be Candid and Transparent
We do our best work when we join forces with our clients, communicate frequently, and are free to speak the truth — even when that’s hard to do.
We Build Long-Term Relationships
We are authentic and genuine with our clients and candidates and keep the long game in mind. More than 75% of our searches each year come from repeat clients.
Why Retained?
Gilman Partners specializes in retained search because we believe it results in a better process and, ultimately, in a stronger hire. Here’s why:
- We focus on passive candidates, those not actively looking for a new role. Our networks, the expertise of our research team, and our state-of-the-art technology enable us to do this, so our clients are able to consider the widest range of possible candidates.
- We invest in understanding the position and your culture at the start of a search – not just quickly generating resumes of those who may have potential. We also frequently develop a Predictive Index Job Model that is useful when assessing possible candidates.
- We work with clients to ensure the job description has the right tone and presents their organization and the position in the best possible light.
- We thoroughly assess candidates through phone screens, in-depth interviews, and the use of Predictive Index. We only present candidates who match the qualifications and those we believe are a fit.
- We’re committed to working with you to find the right candidate –regardless of how long it takes.
