At Howard & O’Brien Associates, we combine the deep research and database resources of a global executive search firm with the personal, hands-on service and insight of a boutique search firm. Our clients return to us again and again, not because we’re the biggest search firm, but because we consistently provide a level of expertise, search capabilities and personalized information gathering rarely delivered by larger companies. Most importantly, we don't just look at candidate skill set and experience… we focus on the candidate and company fit. We know a successful search ends with a perfect fit in terms of chemistry, culture and leadership philosophy.
The executive team at Howard & O’Brien Associates represents more than 60 years of experience in executive management, marketing, human resources, operations and research. One or more of our principals is involved at every critical benchmark in every search. Our on-site interviews with clients are with all possible levels and limited only to the number of executive staff they are willing to provide. We’ve successfully recruited and placed hundreds of executives, while establishing lasting relationships with top leaders in a wide range of industries.
We immerse ourselves in our clients’ culture, talk frankly with every candidate, and work diligently until the search is successfully completed. Then we work some more, to ensure that the transition is seamless and the overall experience is satisfying for both candidates and client. We believe in treating every candidate as a valued individual, not a commodity. As a result, it’s not unusual for non-selected candidates to recommend your company and ours to other high level executives for future positions. We can’t think of a greater vote of confidence.
Howard & O’Brien Associates also provides value by conducting fast, efficient searches that are more thorough than our competitors. Our integrated research, built on a proprietary database and coupled with expert analysis, consistently produce short lists of perfectly matched candidates. That’s the untouchable service and positive search experience you can expect from Howard & O’Brien Associates. We think our clients deserve nothing less.
