This is evidenced by our methods, which are based on a thorough understanding of the strategic, financial, and operational issues affecting the industry, and your organization, today.
When Watson Ford works for you, it means partnership. With an existing base of qualified candidates always on hand and with your organization’s needs in mind, our premium services will offer peace of mind and assurance that the candidate we identify for you is of the highest quality.
Watson Ford offers a range of executive, contingent, and retained searches. Specifically, our contingent searches are underpinned by an active headhunting policy, leveraging from market maps whenever possible. This approach, when combined with traditional database searches and advertising, can be a quick and effective solution for lower level positions.
Based in our global network connections, the retained search option offers a targeted shortlist of prequalified candidates for any role that needs to be filled within your organization. Unlike some retained solutions, Watson Ford aims to save both time and money for our clients by having this targeted list at the ready. We are a 360-degree consultative service that aims to quickly fulfill our clients’ strategic objectives, offering both contingent and retained search options.
Watson Ford offers our clients professional and evidence-based advice on their leadership needs, conducting senior level executive search assignments across a range of markets and functions. Furthermore, we strive to create an environment that stresses partnerships with our clients by providing you with current recommended reading and compelling articles concerning recruiting and employment trends, leadership, organizational effectiveness, and business best practices.
