WHO IS SANFORD ROSE ASSOCIATES - Toledo?
We are a retained executive search firm that finds and discerns A-players from the rest of the pack and delivers the talent they so desparately seek, but have difficulty finding on their own or by using other search firms.
We work fast finding hard-to-reach candidates, who are buried in activity and achievement; we do not rely on e-boards for people who are actively advertising themselves.
Our Managing Partners are engaging professionals. We treat our clients and candidates how we would want to be treated, at both the professional and personal levels, creating win-win-win outcomes throughout every search assignment we undertake.
Our Service makes us unique:
- we provide our clients with only hard-to-reach candidates, who are not actively "advertising" or "e-boarding" themselves.
- we provide a boutique approach and are selective; therefore we maintain a short list of client companies. Our spectrum of available target companies from which we can and do recruit, is much wider than most larger search firms.
- our managing partners are entrepreneurs/owners who actively manage, recruit and interview in every search assignment we undertake, in other words, we "own" our results
- we offer a one-year guarantee of replacement on every search for which we are exclusive, no exceptions. we offer a two-year guarantee of replacement on all retained search assignments
- we possess over 75 years of combined experience as both high-performing corporate individual contributors and managers who have hired and assessed employees across the spectrum of performance. we understand true talent and easily distinguish them from posers
- we leverage being part of the SRA network, with contacts spanning over 60 locations globally, across nearly every industry and function.
