Leadership Redefined: Finding the Right People to Drive Success

Our Recruiting GPS Strategy is a sophisticated approach designed to navigate the complexities of leadership search with precision and insight. This foundational understanding guides our search, ensuring that we target leaders whose visions align with yours. At its core, it focuses on deeply understanding the unique culture and leadership dynamics of your organization. From initial client interviews to detailed onboarding support, the GPS Strategy ensures. that we not only find the right person but also align them with your organizational goals and culture, paving the way for a successful partnership and sustainable growth.

Let's Connect

01 – Client Interview

.

Gathering search requirements sounds simple enough, but facts are easy. The real art is the gut and feel of the hiring leaders and the company’s unique cultural environment. This directly influences the pooled selection of professionals to attract.

02 – Messaging

.

How, what and in what manner the messaging is crafted and delivered to the market can make or break a successful search. Consistent messaging that aligns with the company’s public presence and interaction with the SLT builds trust and branding. It is imperative.

03 – GPS sourcing

.

What is GPS Sourcing? Our formula to locate, canvas and communicate effectively with potential hires within a specific time frame, consistently. By using multiple communication streams in parallel, it gives confidence we are reaching the right people.

04 – Talent Relations

.

The difference between great recruiting firms and good is the ability to build trust quickly with individuals. How do you do this? Easily.. work ethically, honestly and with utmost transparency.

05 – Digging Deep

.

Leaving a role for a new adventure is no small decision for someone. It literally affects everything in their life-commute, money, family, people interactions, their future, everything. Understanding what makes people tick and their priorities in their life have to be met by the new role to be successful long term.

06 – Coordination

.

Often times we experience the internal recruiting team desiring to take over the coordination and communication with potential hires. Although we appreciate the team effort and their talents, streamlining communication through one party creates consistency and eliminates confusion. Equally important, it is another opportunity to have a touch point to get crucial updates on competitive interests and continuing to build a trusting dialogue.

07 – Preps & Debrief

.

Detailed interview prepping and debriefing are probably the most critical step in the process. During these conversations, interest, concerns, re-alignment of priorities and financial discussions take place. This is where the deal comes together!

08 – Negotiation

.

Our negotiating technique is bit out of the norm-in a good way! We “pre-negotiate” on the candidate’s behalf and set compensation expectations before the interview process begins. We don’t leave this critical step to chance and hope we can bridge the gap at the end.

09 – Placement

.

Success!

10 – Onboarding

.

A critical and often misstep in today’s corporate environment. We stay close the first 12 months as a sounding board and strategic partner to everyone. We intervene as necessary to keep the lines of communication open and transparent.

What Our Clients Say

“

Renee is the consummate professional matchmaker - not only does she want to understand the candidate, but also seeks to understand the company and the culture that she’s recruiting for. She’s able to ensure a natural connection on both sides, making for better searches and search outcomes. I am lucky to have worked with her and I highly recommend her to anyone who is searching to build their team. You won’t be disappointed!

Working with Renee and her team makes my life EASY! When Renee and I started working together she invested her time to understand me, my needs and how I work. Now she knows the soft and technical skills I look for when building teams. I have worked with her for 20 years and I exclusively use her team whenever I hire. I can always depend on quick, transparent, and truthful feedback. Renee is more than a “recruiter”, she is an experienced businessperson that understands complex organizations and circumstances. She’s my go-to when I need to discuss hiring strategies and hierarchies; she has an uncanny insight to the human psyche. Look no further!!

It is my privilege to acknowledge the expertise and professionalism of Renee Beckman. I have known Renee for over a decade and during this time, she has proven herself to be the consummate career counselor. In addition to Renee’s extraordinary network, insights and energy, she takes the time to listen, engage and thoughtfully advise. Through Renee, I became more circumspect regarding my career path and leveraged her capabilities to proactively make decisions and realize results. Unequivocal recommendation.

I’ve dealt with and have spoken to many, many recruiters and agencies in my career. This is one the best experiences I’ve ever had in the job searching market. Completely honest, upfront, knowledgeable, great follow-up and works the best possible deal for all. I wasn’t even looking for a job. Their ability to recognize your talents and match you up with great opportunities is very different and effective. More recruiters and agencies need to follow this model.

When Renee' reached out to me on a Thursday evening, it was immediately clear to me that this was someone special.

When we think of industry leaders, we think of high-performing professionals who possess some common traits - all of which she possesses. However, Renee is not just an industry leader, instead she operates in a league of her own. In her league, she leads with empathy, transparency, and a work ethic that transcends weekends and holidays. In her league, she is a partner, mentor, and coach to her clients and candidates.

In my own case at every step of the process, I felt as if I were talking to a wise friend who was willing to descend to my level when needed, and then, help me ascend to her level when the time was right. This delicate poise and strong internal compass make Renee a very special person to work with.

I have worked with Renee over the past 20 years. She has always been one of my “go to” people for recruiting as well as some consulting work. She presents well screened candidates who can be set up for success and is a pleasure to partner with.

Annette KastnerCHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CORPORATE SERVICES, NAI HIFFMAN | HIFFMAN NATIONAL
“

I have worked with Renee for many years. She is the only recruiter I’ve dealt with that really listens, and tries to fully understand the role, the company and what candidate would be the best fit. She will not send you 10 candidates to waste your time. She will send you one, and you would want to make them an offer. I don't want to work with anyone else!

😎 Over the past 20 years, Renee has been instrumental in advancing my career, guiding me through three pivotal roles that have shaped my professional journey. One significant milestone was being placed in a position working alongside a CFO, whose leadership I've since followed across multiple companies. Now, in a full-circle moment, I rely on Renee's expertise to find the right talent for our team, underscoring the value of strategic partnerships and the impact of connecting with good corporate matches. I am grateful for Renee's guidance and the opportunities she has facilitated.

I've been collaborating with Renee for a decade, and she's more than just an executive recruiter; she's a business consultant with great perspective and experience. After a poor hiring decision for a Controller, the mistake led to critical business challenges. Renee adeptly navigated us through these issues by halting the hiring process and introducing a fractional CFO, who remains with us. The challenges were eventually resolved and we were able to seamlessly integrate a new Controller with thorough onboarding, training, and continued support from our fractional CFO. She's a vital resource, always just a speed dial away. There's no one else you need to call.

Bob ByrneGENERAL MANAGER, CALUMET CARTON COMPANY

My relationship with Renee stretches back to before I became a CFO, initiated by her cold call regarding a job in 2005! Since that pivotal moment, our communication has been consistent, making her a key figure in my approach to team development. What sets Renee apart is her knack for saving time by seamlessly aligning candidates with our distinct business culture and my leadership style. Her genuine care for team dynamics and her commitment to monitoring the progress of those she places within my organization are unparalleled. If Renee recommends a meeting with a candidate, I immediately arrange it, confident in her track record of suggesting individuals who become valuable assets to our team, without the need to review their resumes. Renee is my go to!
