The Difference

Over and Above

Let’s face it – if finding the right candidate for an executive position was easy, there would be no need for firms like ours. But our assignments are for critical positions. Finding candidates with the skills, leadership and drive to improve your business is what we do – so you can focus on what you do. To ensure success, we give added attention to these three areas.

Position Development: We practice total immersion before we begin a search. How else can we acquire a comprehensive understanding of your company, your culture and your position’s unique requirements? We have the discipline, the experience and the passion to learn your business and your needs.

Referencing: When it comes to checking references, we’re relentless. It’s more than verification of educational degrees and prior employment history. It’s taking the time to connect with former bosses, peers and subordinates to delve into a candidate’s tangible and intangible qualifications for a position. In fact, we’ve been told we reference earlier and more than most search firms.

Presentation: When you meet with a Sockwell candidate, you’ll be prepared. Our client briefings are comprehensive, detailed and accurate. They facilitate in-depth and meaningful conversations with your candidate. We take the time up front so you don’t waste your time.
