Although we are best known as talent scouts within the design field, recruiting is the most outwardly visible service that we provide.
We believe that successful recruiting is dependent on the integration of talent and practice strategies within the context of competitive advantage.
We offer a sequence of services to help our clients achieve their practice objectives. |
Talent acquisition is a vehicle that enables an organization to achieve its strategic goals by extending its talent resource base — not just quantitatively, but qualitatively as well. It might involve identification and recruitment of an individual, or identification of firms for potential merger or acquisition.
A design firm is an ecosystem based on culture, values, and belief, as well as the talent that creates its foundation. The ecosystem depends on effective systems and processes, including a process for development of roles, responsibilities, expectations, and boundaries.
Successful practices are not only able to attract the right people to their firms, but to provide opportunities for growth and recognition within the framework of successful performance. Roles and responsibilities, as well as performance evaluations, should be linked to carefully crafted training, coaching, and mentoring programs.
How do you measure success? Long-term success is dependent on development of a chain of values that links your firm leaders, your employees, and your clients.
What are your criteria for future leaders and owners? For most firm leaders, the ultimate goal is to ensure the sustainability of your practice. By understanding the characteristics of the talent who will succeed within your firm, and by creating a pathway for growth and development, you are also creating a mechanism to attain sustainability.
As true talent advocates, we are constantly on the lookout for ways to bring our clients together and help them extend their reach for creative alliances and opportunities. Since we are active within the design field, we are able to build professional relationships with a broad range of key collaborators in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and planning.
