At SKR Partners, we pride ourselves on our innovative, strategic, and, above all, measurable, approach to finding you the very best calibre talent.
We utilize 360-degree reference checking to provide a complete perspective as to the candidates development, career learning curve, and patterns surrounding development areas. We help our clients to develop measurable objectives and guide setting the metrics that will define new hire success. We assist in creating an effective first-year integration plan to build on incoming executive talent and mitigate any weaknesses.
We offer retained search services. From managerial roles to the CEO's office, we have successfully placed executives in every functional area:
| › Finance and Accounting | › Operations |
| › Information Technology | › Human Resources |
| › Marketing and Sales | › General Management |
Targeted Candidate Development
SKR Partners relies solely on targeted candidate development. We identify industries and organizations within sectors that are most likely to yield successful leadership capability for your organization.
We do not use job boards to find candidates. Experience and numerous studies have clearly demonstrated that the best performers are highly engaged and focused in their current work, usually precluding the mindset that they should be actively seeking something better. As a result, these top-tier individuals need to be approached, engaged, and assessed in a professional and thorough manner.
Rigorous & Analytical Process
For every executive search assignment, SKR Partners designs an appropriate strategic plan.
We listen carefully. We build upon our client’s description of the position to create specific objectives the new candidate will be expected to meet. We then measure candidates by their ability to meet those measurable business goals and bring additional value to the leadership team.
We follow up with all hired candidates at regular intervals throughout the first year. Where necessary, we coach both the client and the candidate on how to step up the candidate's performance to meet all the objectives that have been set.
Our methodical placement and follow-up process ensures results. Our turnover rate for placed candidates is less than 1%, compared to an industry average of 10%–20%, and we have never placed a candidate who has been let go for poor performance. We work with you and the candidate to create success at every step.
Clear Expectations & Measurable Outcomes
