Executive Search

When the need arises to look beyond the internal talent pool to find a key member for the senior leadership team, and when settling for the best of those who are available is just not good enough, Executive Search is the answer.

Executive Search is exclusive, it is confidential, and it is highly personalized. It is recruiting and selection at the highest level of professionalism.

The Centre Group works exclusively for the client organization to seek out the individual who best meets the technical qualifications, who has the right experience to face the challenges ahead, and who possesses the personal chemistry to fit into the organization’s culture, or bring about cultural change if needed. In most cases the best person is not actively looking for a position. S/he is successfully engaged in building a career with his/her current employer. Not until presented with a new challenge does he/she become a candidate.

The Centre Group follows a time-tested process for developing a detailed position and ideal-candidate profile. When a search committee is involved, we use a proprietary process for developing a consensus profile. By applying research to find and approach those who are most qualified in the industry, the best candidates emerge. Typically, in the end, client organizations have the opportunity to choose from multiple, well-qualified candidates.

If the position is located in the Mid-South, we offer a special advantage. The Centre Group’s search process compares favorably with the major firms in New York, Chicago, Dallas, or Atlanta; however, being from the Mid-South, we can persuasively represent the quality of life that we enjoy.
