This knowledge can make the difference when presenting the career opportunity to candidates.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"line\"><span>WE ARE CONSULTATIVE<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We do not presume to understand the problems and challenges our client is facing.  An important lesson we have learned is not to take anything for granted, but to carefully establish a consensus within the client organization around the qualities and characteristics of the executive being sought.  Our role will be to play devil\u2019s advocate and to challenge inconsistencies in thinking regarding attributes required for the ideal candidate as the search moves to completion.  We will counsel decision makers on issues that arise from impressions created by candidates, thereby sharpening the decision process.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"line\"><span>WE WILL BE RESOURCEFUL \/ FLEXIBLE<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Our candidate development process is tailored for each search.  We will network with a diverse group of executives, not just those who exist in databases or Internet directories.  If appropriate, we will challenge our client to \u201cthink outside of the box,\u201d to consider executives with skills and experience which could be leveraged beyond the specific requirements of the search.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"line\"><span>WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At Columbia Consulting Group the consultant who \u201csells\u201d the search is intimately involved in every aspect of \u201cexecuting\u201d the search including the initial work to develop candidates.  We do not \u201chand-off\u201d search execution to junior level people.  <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"line\"><span>WE NEVER FORGET THAT WE SERVE THE CLIENT<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Our search practice is founded upon the premise that we will be a very important resource for a relatively small number of firms in each of our practice areas.  The corollary to this philosophy is that we will do whatever is ethically necessary to meet our client\u2019s needs.  No matter how difficult a search turns out to be, we pride ourselves on never giving up on an assignment<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"line\"><span>OUR SIZE GIVES US AN ADVANTAGE OVER HUGE FIRMS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Columbia Consulting Group does not have the \u201coff-limits\u201d problem usually associated with large national firms with huge practices, or single-practice boutiques.
