Executive Recruiting

We go further to find leaders that take you farther.

Benefit from our rich executive network as we tap into the trust we’ve built with the best leaders around. From our strategic approach to our unmatched commitment, no firm looks deeper or goes further to identify leaders that align with your brand, strengthen your culture, and drive your growth.

executive engagements include:

On-Site Visit

A visit to your facility, regardless of location, to further understand your story, culture and team and identify better matches

Stakeholder Meeting

Board/stakeholder meeting(s) to assess leadership competencies which informs a search strategy to fill gaps

Expert Partnership

Partnership with a team of highly trained recruiters and researchers that leverage Grey’s extensive network, source the best talent, and perform direct outreach

Custom-Branded Job Profile Design

A professionally designed, executive-level job profile designed to your company’s brand guidelines

Compensation & Market Data Analysis

An assessment of how well your current pay practices align with your larger compensation strategy and market data

Hogan Assessment

Data-based personality insights on candidates that help you maximize organizational success

Flexible terms.
Attractive pricing.

Grey offers flexible payment terms and agreement structures to create a pricing model that works best for you. And we minimize your costs by excluding long-term incentive plans and benefits from our fee calculation.

The Magic Words

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Grey Search + Strategy offers a 12-month guarantee for executive-level placements.

And we go a step further: If both sides feel our relationship is not what was expected, we will return your retainer. Why are we so confident we can deliver? Because we’ve NEVER been asked to refund a retainer.

Due Diligence

Going on-site for better insight.

Better matches require better knowledge. So, Grey visits every single client facility no matter the location–touring plants, meeting teams, riding along with reps—all on our own dime. Our willingness to go further than other firms gives us deeper insight for finding team members that truly fit your culture.

"Grey Search + Strategy is world-class."

It has been incredibly rewarding working with Alissa, Lucas and the rest of their team. Grey delivers a rare level of service and expertise in understanding organizational culture, organizational needs, and then finding a long-term fit for our critical staffing needs. Equally valuable has been their ability to bring organizational alignment around needed experience and aptitude for our C-Level hires - from the shareholders to the board members to the management team.
