Start Your Search
At E.A. Hughes & Co., our work goes well beyond the search itself. We view ourselves as your partners in management. We are with you even before the search begins — helping you to define the needs of your organization and to make sure the position addresses your long-term growth strategy.
Defining the position…
- At the outset, we help you define the position, gaining valuable insights into your organization and making sure we determine the right fit.
- We help you develop a position description that includes overall expectations, as well as customized criteria that fit the uniqueness of your company’s position in the market.
- We are citizens of the industry and we know where to mine for talent among the industry’s most respected and proven professionals. While we are accomplished tacticians, we are also highly flexible — nimble enough to change course as shifts in market conditions occur.
Uncovering the total individual…
- We examine candidates to uncover the total individual… looking beyond experience and accomplishments to discern the right chemistry.
- We conduct preliminary interview meetings with those candidates who have “made the cut” and aid you in moving the search along and maintaining the interest of lead candidates.
- Once the top candidate has been chosen, we help you navigate the negotiation process, ensuring that the relationship between you and the candidate remains unencumbered. We absorb the trauma so often associated with management change and we assure that the process remains smooth.
Navigating the process…
- The executive you hire is not yours until he or she is working for you. We help smooth the transition — keeping you apprised of the candidate’s status at the previous employer and alerting you to any potential problems or pitfalls that may interfere with a smooth transition to your firm.
- And we are there long after the search process concludes, helping with the all-important transition period and monitoring performance of the new hire to ensure a smooth adjustment.
Smoothing the transition…
- We work with you and your management to ensure the successful on-boarding of new talent.
- We employ the resources of our partners — Grayson/Hughes and Dr. Michael Grimes — to ensure that new hires are engaged and enmeshed in your corporate culture quickly and effectively.
