CLASSIC CEO & CFO SEARCH
"OFF-LIMITS" POLICY
The industry standard for retained executive search firms is that any client represented within the last two years of a search assignment completion is "off limits" or "out of bounds" for any recruiting efforts of any member, of any part, of that client's organization. 
In addition, the newly minted executive is considered "evergreen" or "off - limits" for the duration the  newly  minted  executive  is  a  member  of  that  former client's   organization.  
It is unethical for a retained search firm to represent an organization in its search efforts to recruit any member from the client's organization within the two year "off - limits" period.   
Ours Firm's "off-limits" policy is guided by the client active relationship period. We will never attempt to recruit any member from our client's organization as long extend indefinitely for the period the client remains an active  client  plus  five  years  thereafter.    
PARALLEL PROCESSING
When a search firm identifies, creates, and receives confirmed interest from a recruited executive for a specific client opportunity, the search firm is NOT to present that executive to any other client in the event the search firm is representing another client with similiar requirements.  
Presenting the same executive as a prospective candidate to any other firm client while the executive is "under consideration" is referred to as "parallel processing" and is in our consideration an unethical practice.  
We guarantee our clients this practice will never be undertaken - period. 
Unfortunately this practice is common among some larger search firms and is also a highly excepted practice within the contingency search community.  One of the numerous benefits in using a boutique "Classic" retained search  firm. 
Our practices are at the heart of our approach to search. Spencer Stuart professionals belong to industry and functional practices according to their experience and expertise. Through these practices we pool our sector and candidate knowledge and conduct focused research on talent and industry trends.

Our practices are global, enabling consultants to collaborate in best teams and across borders. Our practice teams combine their in-depth knowledge of candidates to bring clients the right specialized industry, functional and geographic insight to every search.
Our role and mission is to bring to clients our proven situational expertise in turnaround management. with a veteran CEO turnaround specialist and his/her to revitalize  and reposition the organization for the next phase in the company's growth.

CEO & Board
PRACTICE OVERVIEW

Global corporations have never faced a more challenging – or, potentially more rewarding – environment than this one. 
 
Rapidly shifting marketplace conditions, demanding new regulations, continuing capital market constraints, and ever-intensifying competition all combine to create unparalleled pressures. The financial stakes are enormous. Yet so are the opportunities.
 
With broad and deep connections throughout the global marketplace, our firm is at the nexus of insightful and impactful C-Suites, boards of directors, and business experts.  Here at CTPartners, we have only one objective: To enhance our clients' abilities to build enterprise value through sustained and profitable growth in the midst of ever-unfolding challenges and opportunities. 
 
The CTPartners team is committed to redefining the relationship between global corporations and their executive search partners. 
 
As we, and our clients, recognize, today's business paradigm rewards those global chief executives and directors with exceptional strategic vision, leadership skills, and financial acumen, as well as a profound commitment to talent management and development. 
 
In order to most effectively support our clients' top priorities and objectives, CTPartners has assembled an impressive team of professionals with valuable expertise and insights relating to Global CEO Succession, Director Recruitment, and Board Development.
 
But that's just the beginning. CTPartners' Global CEO/Board Practice is fully integrated with our Human Resources Practice. We recognize that the chief executive, the board, and the Chief Human Resources Officer comprise a core leadership group which must be closely aligned in order to create sustainable long-term enterprise value. 
 
With a firm-wide commitment to 360-degree integration and Six Sigma performance, the Global CEO/Board Practice collaborates closely with colleagues across all industry sectors and geographies.
 
Our ability to consistently deliver value to our clients is enhanced by more than twenty years of experience in Board Assessments, enabling us to help boards continuously improve to meet today's tough competitive, regulatory, and leadership challenges. Most importantly, we are prepared to assist in the development and execution of best practice Succession Planning both in the C-Suite and with the Board.
 
And there's more.

It is also not an option for our firm.  As business conditions continue to evolve, our worldwide team is committed to finding new and better ways to help our clients achieve their most critical strategic imperatives.
Differentiators

At CTPartners we passionately believe that, first and foremost, our job is to deliver top-quality service that exceeds client expectations.

Our commitment to quality is evident throughout the search assignment. From the moment you meet a CTPartners consultant to the moment he or she completes the recruitment of your next top performer, you will be educated, communicated with, attended to and served with an intensity and authenticity not common in the executive search field.

Hands on, attentive and eager to exceed your expectations, CTPartners consultants are dedicated to making your executive search experience is a seamless success from beginning to end.

Innovative Technology

With a deep and rich heritage in placing senior management at leading companies, CTPartners understand that to be considered an industry leader, a company requires cutting edge technology. That’s why we made a significant technology investment ourselves that resulted in two state-of-the-art tools that expedite intelligence and communication flow for clients and candidates alike. They include:

ClientNet® -- a password protected extranet that provides clients 24/7 access to their search status.

Whether seeking an individual executive or running a comprehensive multi-search program, this secure extranet consolidates and organizes all relevant search and candidate information.

Information featured at ClientNet® includes: a roster of candidates, their current title, company affiliation, compensation, resume, interview assessment and more. The site also includes an overview of "next steps" in the search process. Curious what others think of the candidates? Check out the threaded discussion format which includes candidate and interview notes, both from your search consultant and from your management team.

This one-stop shop for search status is a key tool to maintain momentum in your search and ensure timely responsiveness leading to a shortened search timeframe.

Candidate Central® -- a proprietary extranet that offers time-starved and highly sought after candidates’ comprehensive information on a prospective client company.

Recognizing that top talent is often hard to attract, clients are always concerned how their opportunity will be presented. CTPartners' clients, however, are at an advantage, with access to Candidate Central®, a proprietary technology tool that exhaustively merchandises an executive position in a format that effectively reaches, engages and intrigues top candidates.

Easy to access and unusually thorough, Candidate Central® delivers critical, real-time information about a company to pre-screened potential candidates. Features include a link to the client Web site, position profile, management bios, Board of director listing, client press room, the CTPartners search team and more.

These tools serve three primary purposes: they enable us to significantly reduce search time, efficiently attract and communicate with top candidates and strategically position clients.

Assessment Tools

The best way to ensure that clients are completely satisfied is by repeatedly querying their perceptions of our performance. Our thinking? The more we communicate, the greater our chances of overwhelming you with service and exceptional candidates.

With a commitment to completing every search within 100 days, we have established four critical milestones at 48 hours, 14 days, 40 days and 75 days that enable us to gauge and revise search status as necessary.

Furthermore, we have two proprietary assessment tools that provide clients the opportunity to judge our performance, share insights and when appropriate, offer criticism or praise. They include

The 40-Day Audit™ -- a comprehensive assessment tool which provides a formal feedback mechanism and is helpful in ensuring that search milestones are met according to client expectations.

Administered by an independent partner not associated with the specific search, the Audit provides clients an opportunity to review our progress at that milestone.

Typical responses to Audit issues are a confirmation that we are reaching our milestones or can suggest redirecting the search strategy, adjusting resources or changing our target candidate profile.

The Client Quality Satisfaction Survey™ -- a post-search exercise that offers an opportunity for continuous improvement. It requests that clients reflect and comment on each facet of the search process just completed.

CTPartners' consultants take the Survey extremely seriously.

In fact, Survey findings are ranked, reviewed and posted internally, as well as, considered regarding promotion and compensation. This confidential survey again illustrates our commitment to striving to exceed the expectations of existing and future clients.

Both are checks and balances designed to ensure that a search happens on time as requested.

After 30 years as an executive search leader, we hope you agree that CTPartners has earned the right to be -- Your Executive Search Partner: Committed to Performance, Quality & Results.
