A Welcome Message from the CEO at Columbia Consulting Group!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

For companies coming to our website, you should know that at Columbia Consulting Group, our goal is to complete our searches efficiently, swiftly, and successfully. Our understanding of corporate objectives and our ability to work in close collaboration with our clients, enables our firm to achieve these goals. We are a relationship oriented organization that strives to meet our prospective and existing client\u2019s talent needs with the best possible candidate.<\/p>\n

As a company, evaluating a search firm for the first time or being a user wanting to have alternative recruitment resource, we believe that the quality \u201cup front\u201d time spent on a needed recruitment project creates an environment of collaboration in the execution of the search. When reviewing our website we believe that some of the key elements of our services will direct you to some of the following:<\/p>\n

Defining your business challenge by communicating, sharing and identifying the unique priorities, challenges, and opportunities that characterize your company\u2019s search assignment is the key to the start of the process.<\/p>\n

Jointly establishing benchmarks creates targets and responsibilities for both parties involved with the search. Creating accountability for ourselves is critical to the success of a search. \u00a0Evaluating the progress of any project on a regular basis keeps our client\/partner in the communications loop on a continuing basis.<\/p>\n

Maintaining flexibility with search strategies permits our clients to initiate changes and solutions before problems occur, to keep searches on course.<\/p>\n

We welcome the opportunity to explore with you the talent and business challenges to see if we can be of value to your organization. Again, welcome to the website and we hope you find it of value.<\/p>\n

If you have any question please do not hesitate to call anyone on our team<\/p>\n

Regards,

THE COST TO RETAIN A SEARCH FIRM<\/strong><\/p>\n

To achieve a strong match between a client\u2019s needs and a candidate\u2019s qualifications, Columbia Consulting Group works on a retainer basis, designed to compensate the firm for its services over the duration of the search assignment. All costs for search and implementation are outlined at the initiation of the assignment.<\/p>\n

This method allows us to invest in necessary research, and maintain independence of thought and action to concentrate on the critical issue\u2014finding the best candidate for our clients. The recruitment endeavor is a partnership enabling us to become an extension of our client\u2019s organization.<\/p>\n

If you have never used a retained executive search firm and\/or a contingency recruitment firm, the Retained vs a Contingency Firm article clarifies some of the differences for a better understanding of the two services. We believe that retain firms are more consultative and personally involved with the client and candidates and can function as a dedicated resource in the marketplace for our clients.<\/p>\n
