You Need High-Impact Talent Now.
We’ve uncomplicated the process of finding you the right candidates.
At O’Connor O’Connor Lordi, we understand the positive impact the right leader will have on your entire organization.
We know you don’t have time for a prolonged process that takes more of your time and money than you planned. We’ve optimized our executive search services for effectiveness and affordability. Yet, we still bring rigorous pre-qualification criteria and a dedicated team to each of our clients. Your candidates will be thoroughly and professionally screened and vetted through multiple in-depth interviews, a personal meeting (as appropriate), behavioral assessment, and reference and background validation. Our goal is to have your new hire hit the ground running without missing a step. And our 82% candidate retention rate will give you the confidence that you made a safe choice.
Not Your Typical Executive Search Firm
Unlike larger firms that spread their efforts across numerous departments focusing more on recruiting tasks and less on client strategies, we fully integrate our Engagement Managers into each step of the search process. Each Engagement Manager is limited to three active searches, ensuring a priority status for every client.
Your Engagement Manager will:
- Conduct a thorough client discovery to understand your specific short- and long-term needs
- Design and execute a custom-tailored search strategy
- Accept direct accountability with open communication throughout all facets of the search
- Work intimately with in-house, dedicated sourcing professionals to conduct fresh, original research
We follow a disciplined three-phase methodology of rigorous research, candidate development and client engagement to help you find and secure the “right-fit” candidates.
