Search Excellence

Branford Search Consultants is a full service, national personnel firm specializing in mid-to-senior level searches for our clients. We offer individually tailored Search Solutions to best fit the ever changing needs of their business on both a retained and contingency basis. Branford Search Consultants was established with over forty years of collective experience to provide a full spectrum of recruitment services to a variety of industries, including, but not limited to Engineering, Financial, Media, Industrial, Consumer Goods, IT and Life Sciences. We are in the marketplace every day with a detailed knowledge of what talent is ready for new opportunities. We can provide your firm with qualified individuals or an entire team.

Each search is executed by a dedicated team of search professionals with extensive industry and search experience. A lead consultant is assigned to each search, and acts as a client reference point regarding all aspects of the search process. However, the real test of any search firm is not how well we know our business, but how well we know yours.

Our Search Foundation and Methodology

At the outset of each assignment, we endeavor to understand our client in as much detail as possible. Through careful study, we thoroughly educate ourselves regarding:

• Your Industry - Its evolution, composition, trends, growth prospects and key executives.
• Your Business - Its competitive position, long- and short-term goals, strategies and tactics.
• Your Organization - Its structure, management staffing, decision-making process, internal environment and dynamics-- the key factors that make it unique.
• Your Needs - The duties and responsibilities of the position in specific detail, now and in the future.

Once our firm has gathered vital information and a deep understanding of your firm, we then apply these to a refined and disciplined search methodology that stresses:

• Detailed search strategy planning that fully considers your business objectives, selects and prioritizes company targets, and aims the search effort at specific organizational levels and positions.
• Thorough, careful research to define organizational structures, develop biographical information, and organize and utilize data generated on previous assignments.
• Systematic target company sourcing to obtain knowledge of the largest possible number of qualified prospects.
• Assistance as an intermediary in negotiations.
• Regular post-search follow-up to help ensure successful integration of the individual within the organization.

Due to the continuously evolving marketplace and the speed of business today, the need for companies to operate at full capacity is paramount. By leveraging our existing relationships, strong networks, proprietary database and strong internal and external resources, our pledge to our clients is the same as it was at our inception: prompt, professional and superior service.
