Heller Search Differentiators LARGER FIRMS HELLER SEARCH ASSOCIATES Typically assign most of their searches to junior associates; managing directors have very little involvement in the search. WHO DOES THE WORK? The CEO and a Managing Director are actively involved in all executive searches. Focus their top recruiting efforts on the CEO and board of director searches they are involved in. HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR SEARCH TO THIS FIRM? Our niche is specifically in IT leadership roles. Your search is our top priority. Lengthy hands-off lists can severely limit their access to the talent pool for your search. And, candidates they have submitted for roles at other clients are also off-limits. WHAT ARE THE LIMITS ON THE TALENT POOL? As a boutique firm we have a smaller number of clients with little impact on our access to a broad talent pool. Rely on their databases to identify candidates, which are filled with job seekers actively on the market, and who have sent their resumes to every recruiter, including Heller Search. HOW DO WE FIND CANDIDATES? We target highly qualified professionals currently employed at relevant organizations - passive candidates - in addition to active job seekers. Our media engagement with the IT community means our networks are fresh. Include administration charges as high as 10%, in addition to their fee. ARE THERE HIDDEN FEES? Heller Search does not add administrative fees. 13
