At Lindsey &
Company, we believe that the single most important factor
contributing to success in the marketplace is the caliber of
the executives that a company employs. Sufficient resources,
organizational effectiveness, sound strategy, et al are very
important. Nothing, however, exceeds outstanding executive
talent as a predictor of and a contributor to a company’s
growth and profitability.
Since outstanding executive talent is the single most
important success factor for a company, the process of
attracting and engaging that talent is most critical.
Executive Search is a key component in that process.
Companies must ensure that the search consultants they hire
both understand their organization and the specifics of the
position to be filled and adhere to a methodology that is
thorough, professional, and confidential.
The most significant factor in a successful executive search
is the quality of the person doing the search. Most savvy
clients hire a firm because of the professionalism of the
individuals not because of the size of a firm nor because of
a reputation perhaps built on self-promotion.
The Lindsey & Company partners understand that we are only
as valuable to our clients as the success of our last
search. We cannot live on reputation. We must earn
the trust and confidence of our clients with every search we
conduct. Ultimately, what you are paying us for is not just
a list of candidates’ names but our experience, our
judgment, and our counsel.
We take our responsibility as your executive search
consultant very seriously.

We subscribe to two premises, which influence every search
undertaken by Lindsey & Company:
-
Finding the
right executive is dependent upon defining the company
objectives that need to be achieved as well as defining
the specific qualifications of the position to be
filled.
-
An
executive’s success or failure in a new environment is
often determined by an individual’s understanding of a
company’s culture, its history, personalities, values,
and rules.
It is because of
these realities that we consider it extremely important to
invest time “up front” with our clients to develop a serious
understanding of the client’s organization, objectives,
culture, and environment. When a position description is
developed and the attributes of the ideal candidate are
articulated it is then understood in a context relative to
the overall enterprise.
In capsule form, the Lindsey & Company approach to a search
assignment assures we assess qualified candidates relative
to:
-
Personal and
Professional Qualifications
-
Fit with
Corporate Culture and Environment
-
Ability to
Contribute to the Organization
-
Leadership
Potential
-
Career
Advancement Potential

Every search
conducted by Lindsey & Company is led by a partner supported
by a Recruiter. A search is never “handed-off” to an
associate; the partner is involved throughout the entire
process.
We generate original research for each search assignment to
present qualified candidates from the widest possible field
of prospects.
Our search methodology is a seven-step process consistent
with the highest standards of professionalism in the
executive search industry.
| Step 1 |
Situation Assessment
Meet with client to fully understand the client’s
organization, objectives, culture, and the specific
needs of the position to be filled. |
| |
|
| Step 2 |
Written
Documentation
Provide written documentation to the client
outlining the position description, the scope of the
services to be provided, a general timetable, and a
statement confirming fees and expenses. |
| |
|
| Step 3 |
The Search
Conduct a comprehensive search for qualified
candidates. |
| |
|
| Step 4 |
Candidate Evaluation
Thoroughly evaluate all potential candidates to
include an in-depth personal interview by the
Lindsey & Company partner, careful assessment of the
candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, and
verification of the candidate’s credentials. |
| |
|
| Step 5 |
Candidate/Client
Interviews
Present qualified candidates to the client with
written profiles and verbal discussion as
appropriate. This step includes facilitation of the
candidate’s interview with the client. |
| |
|
| Step 6 |
Reference Checking
Perform a comprehensive reference check of a
candidate prior to final selection by the client. |
| |
|
| Step 7 |
Offer and
Negotiation
Assist the client in formulating and extending an
offer to the candidate and help to manage any
subsequent negotiation process. This step is
recommended but optional, as some clients prefer to
manage the offer and negotiation process themselves. |
When a search has been successfully completed, the Lindsey &
Company partner will follow up with the client and the
selected candidate after the start date to offer assistance
with the integration of the candidate into the new position. |
