Whether competitive research, in-depth role/market due-diligence market, or strategic pivots on project. We understand the challenge and have the team to help find the answer.

GUARANTEED DELIVERY

More

GUARANTEED DELIVERY

Not only does SEA commit to completing all projects, but also have risk sharing terms in our fees, service-level agreements, and unmatched full 1 year guaranteed.

Talent problems solved

Buildings

1 YEAR FULL GUARANTEE

How is it possible to know if a new hire will work out within 90 days, never mind 30 days? As opposed to these industry standards, SEA commits to a 1-year guarantee as a demonstration of confidence in our process and focus on the success of our partner. The goal of the mandate was success of the project simply not a transaction.

Research

SPECIFIC RESEARCH THAT FITS YOUR NEEDS

Here we mention not simply using LinkedIn or other job postings, active candidates, and retreads from past searches. You see the same names come across your desk and on top of that, you’re going through more than 300 profiles. All a recruiter does is give you access to resumes. We give you access to real talent.

Presentation

WE SHOW OUR WORK!

Traditional recruiters don’t show you their process of working, because if they did you would never pay them. We show you our process and we’re transparent about how we work. You can see the hours we put in.

We find the best talent and don't approximate

Because, like you, we appreciate the importance of accuracy

A Trusted Partner

Why do firms trust Strategic Executives Agency to attract the best-in-class executives for their hard-to-fill roles?
We serve as a trusted advisor to our clients rather than a resume vendor. Our SEA process allows us to invest in the right things upfront.
Expertise

We learn your business to know the talent you need.

Patented Process

Using project management best practices and constant calibration we find and vet the human capital you seek

The perfect talent fit

We’re picky about candidate fit, they need to look good on paper and have the goods in real life too.

From 300 you get 3

The whole point of getting in the professionals is so that you don’t have to do the heavy lifting. We interview and vet over 300 potential candidates to bring you the top 3.

  • Why SEA?

    We make awesome happen

    All our due diligence research is available to our clients at all times. This helps us constantly calibrate our approach and ensure we find the best possible leadership talent for you.

  • Why SEA?

    We don’t fish for talent

    We absolutely NEVER post ads and wait for the tide to come in. Strategic Executives Agency is
    proactive and we find you the talent that didn’t even know the opportunity was available. We go to
    them and then bring them to you. We are your fixers, the 007s of search.

  • Why SEA?

    Your business goals are central to our search strategy

    Our clients have aggressive goals. We know that. So we identify and attract individuals that are ready
    and skilled to help them achieve those goals.

  • Why SEA?

    The SEA stamp of approval

    All the talent that has been vetted, interviewed by at least twice and approved by SEA leadership. We are often more selective than our clients and are willing to pass on candidates that don’t have a clear functional and cultural fit. That’s a
    commitment you won’t find anywhere else!

So how do we do it?

Step 1: Mandate, Initial Research & Calibration

Once our clients submit a job description and they’ve filled in the executive search role description we begin our due diligence process. We do a deep dive on each role so we understand exactly what our client is looking for.

Over the period of a week, our exceptional team does extensive research on the role.

It doesn’t end there.
Chris works to build an excellent relationship with each top candidate in order to help identify potential issues that may arise and then remedy them. Even if that means that the remedy includes excluding a candidate.
He also can negotiate and guide the creation of the offer that is most suitable to all parties.
