To attract the best talent, the leader most responsible for talent needs to be best in class, able to develop and implement talent strategies that address the needs of the business. In an environment marked by change, increased M&A activity and global expansion, organizations look to human resources (HR) leaders to feed the talent pipeline, lead change management, measure engagement and tie the culture to business results.

We help leading multinationals, mid-cap and emerging companies across industries find the chief human resources officers (CHROs) and other senior HR executives they need to take their organizations to the next level. In addition to recruiting outstanding executives, we can also help you identify, assess and develop up-and-coming leaders; improve the effectiveness of your top leadership team; transform your HR function; support strategic or cultural transformation; and accelerate the performance of first-time CHROs.
