FOR OVER 35 YEARS

Recruiting Solutions

With flexible recruiting models, an unrivaled network of candidates and active involvement by the firm’s principles, we can deliver key hires 65% faster than the industry average.

Retained Search

Retained Search

The foundation of a successful business begins with leadership. It is imperative to find leaders who are inspired to join your team, understand your vision, and can execute on goals. We take a comprehensive assessment of possible candidates that includes in-person interviews, candidate reports, comprehensive reference checking and targeted verification process. Our retained searches are backed with a 100% guarantee to our clients. We present your message in a controlled manner, which protects misrepresentation of company data.

Contingency On-Demand

Contingency On-Demand!

In a contingency search situation, Foster Beck earns a fee only when the client organization hires someone. We utilize an advanced profiling and screening method that maximizes efficiency. We offer this search model as a flexible option to our clients and we use our extensive database of known candidates to identify matches on paper and we then send those candidates’ resumes to our clients for possible interviews.

Project-Based Recruiting

Project-Based Recruiting

For clients who need 100% visibility to their executive search costs, Foster Beck’s Project-Based Recruiting model is a great fit. It is particularly helpful if our clients are receiving new funding or launching an IPO, involved in a merger, acquisition have large-scale expansion plans, have last-minute hiring needs or are trying to cap their contingency-based recruiting fees. We provide a fixed fee, a dedicated search team, and first right-of-refusal on candidates. Our model is built for speed and precision. We work closely with your HR team, CFO, and Chief Revenue Officer to design and execute a search plan for a key sales or marketing exec or an entire team. Again, all for a fixed fee.
