About Us
Our priority is your success.
Our success begins and ends with relationships. From the beginning, our mission has been simply to build solid relationships with our clients. How can we find the leader you’re seeking without understanding your goals and specific needs? We determine the scope of the position, your strategic goals and needs, thoroughly evaluating the capabilities of internal management as well as existing human capital practices. Unlike most executive search firms, we don’t rely on databases, less-experienced associates, or the Internet. We are committed as a team to directly conducting all searches. Each partner works together on each project. By doing what we do best with confidentiality and excellence, NorthWind Partners allows you to concentrate on what you do best.
We also prioritize the development of relationships with business leaders and executives in the market regardless of whether they’re currently considered for an assignment. When strategically appropriate, we introduce these executives to our clients based on the tactical plans they’ve shared with us. It’s a proactive approach that yields the kind of results our clients have come to value. That’s why 75% of our business comes from long-term clients. They trust and depend on our commitment to effective management counsel on human capital issues, and the integrity and quality of our due diligence processes. Our client spectrum ranges broadly from venture-funded start-ups, to mid-tier systems integrators, to Fortune-ranked aerospace/defense companies. Each Partner has more than a decade of experience, and we have corporately completed hundreds of search and consulting assignments. We’ve had the opportunity to learn from the successes and failures of hundreds of companies, and we gladly share the benefits of this experience with our clients and candidates.
Along with evaluating and recruiting executives, we provide counsel on issues like succession planning, organizational assessment, integration and restructuring, training and leadership development, marketplace competitive intelligence, compensation benchmarking, and confidential indirect reference evaluation. This market has become intensely competitive. You cannot afford mis-hires at the leadership level where direct financial and organizational impact is profound. NorthWind can help you define, develop, and execute strategies that will increase performance resulting in stability, growth, and ultimately, success.
