Executive Search

The greatest variable in any organization is the caliber of its management team. When hiring, we advise all companies to adhere to one critical hiring maxim, "Choose from the best candidates available, not simply the available." In our search endeavors, we focus our resources on a single goal: locating that exceptionally well-qualified executive who can make a significant long-term contribution to our clients management team.

 At Rutherford International, we believe one’s competitive advantage is in one’s attention to details. Our methodology places considerable emphasis on pro-active research and accessing third party referral networks. The process of a well-conducted and thorough search may be subdivided into sixteen phases - beginning with organizational assessment, ideal candidate specification writing, targeting and investigation, ending with quarterly post employment follow-ups. However, search whether it’s targeting an individual or a company is not an exercise in process, but rather one of measured analysis, critical judgments and a healthy dose of intuition. For a complete description of our search process, including costs associated with our Advertising Selection Service - Link Here.

There are two kinds of management abilities we will look for when assessing candidates. They are – technical competence and personal attributes. The first involves determining competence for the technical side of the business including policies, the work of the various departments and their interrelationships. The second is about attributes, such as face-to-face leadership, planning and organizing, problem analysis judgment, and effective communication, which predict success in management.

Venture Capital Executive Search
The objective of this service is to assist in the growth and/or renewal of small and medium size companies. Renewal may be through the refinement of the management team and/or the organizational structure; or it may well involve the injection of new monies or a combination of both. Firms that benefit from this form of executive search are: late start-up, knowledge rich organizations, that require a hybrid executive with COO/CFO capabilities to position the company administratively and financially; older and more mature companies, capable of competing and taking advantage of opportunities by first adopting modern production methods and measurements; or companies which have experienced difficulties and are in need of an "operational and financial turn-around expert" capable of effecting the necessary internal changes to return them to a profitable operation. We have particular interest in matching "turn-around expert's" with venture capital firm's who require executive over-sight of "follow-through" monies. Our fee for service is generally a combination of cash and convertible debenture.

Strategic Alliance & Partner Search
"Strategic Partnering" facilitates corporate growth in new markets without placing a heavy burden on working capital, infrastructure and management expertise. It may also incorporate the matching of a complementary team of partners and capital. In our capacity as a "social and corporate network facilitator," it is not uncommon in the executive and interim executive search business to match talent with equity partners. This service reflects a variation in the identification of talented people, but incorporates a critical degree of objectivity associated with developing structure, functional missions, positions' design, and corporate objectives including potential merger, acquisition and divestiture strategies. A team of consultants drawn from our strategic advisory group and international affiliates manage assignments of this nature.

Targeted Recruitment
Hiring authorities may already know who they want, but for a variety of reasons are unable to make direct contact. Often the use of a professional third party increases the chance of a more candid and positive response from a targeted candidate. Working from a predetermined list provided by the client, Rutherford International will confidentially solicit the targeted individuals.
