A search to match a leadership void can be costly in your time and lost opportunities. In order to more quickly address executive search needs, Building Talent has a track record of success, a network of leaders, and strategic industry partnerships to help you find, vet, and get the right leader on your team.

An Executive Search is far more complex than simply finding technical talent, and is a critical growth opportunity for companies. There are many reasons to engage with an Executive Search:

  • Facing challenges or capitalizing on an opportunity
  • Expanding to new markets
  • Lack of internal resources
  • Time constraints
  • Circumstances that require a 3rd party relationship

One strategic partnership for Building Talent is with Knowv8 in the AEC and Accounting industries. Our partnership provides in depth executive experience to understand business needs, science assessments to mitigate risk, industry connections to qualified leaders, a marketing approach to promote opportunities that enables us to identify qualified candidates to meet the organizational needs in order to find the perfect match.

“When we needed to replace a departing Director of IT, Building Talent quickly provided a perfect match. We hired a dynamic, experienced, and skillful Director to join our leadership team and to provide leadership to our IT environment”
– Albert C. CFO, ESA
