On Executive Search
The process is key—how comprehensive that is. It can make a huge difference in the client experience. Almost immediately, you’re able to tell if it is rigorous.
I always sensed that I got lost in the shuffle with big firms. When I asked how many searches they were handling, and learned it was a big number, I would get nervous.
On Lochlin Partners
Lochlin has the most comprehensive process of search firms I’ve worked with. Their upfront research process really made a huge difference with us. And the initial vetting Lochlin did compared to others was certainly more robust. Other firms don’t achieve the same rigor. It’s a real differentiator for Lochlin. It’s hard to understand the value up front, but I got it when I started to engage with Liza. I believed it when I saw the exploration of depth in sectors and the quality of candidates.
