Objective: NextGen Global Executive Search was retained to fill a Senior Director of Systems Engineering. Reporting to the VP of Advanced Development in Product Engineering, this individual was being sought to build a requirements driven systems engineering technology organization to its full potential and to be the first in an explosive market with the recently introduced best in class portable ultrasound medical devices. This client, who had used us before, came to NextGen GES because of our reputation in the market for similar searches, as well as the client’s confidence in our ability to deliver the right candidates quickly based on our previous track record with them.
Search Strategy: NextGen GES conducted a thorough search for candidates throughout the contiguous United States and Canada which included key competitors in parallel and similar industries. Our focus was on candidates that were currently employed making significant contributions to their companies. Having interviewed more than 45 candidates in an industry known to have an extraordinary amount of mid and upper level executives, NextGen GES was able to distill 45 candidate profiles into 3 outstanding candidates presented in a “short list” to the overwhelming satisfaction of the customer.
Results: The search resulted in NextGen GES finding a candidate from one of the client’s direct competitors who were performing similar responsibilities and ready for a new challenge. Feedback from the client showed that the candidate had not only met but exceeded their own expectation. The client was particularly pleased with our search methods and exhaustive research and immediately moved to make an offer of employment. In addition, they were quite satisfied with how our team kept them informed throughout the process, the speed in which we executed, and the quality of the selected candidates. This client continues to use us for many additional and ongoing high level searches.
