Executive Search

Executive Search is all about leaders finding leaders.

You already know that finding GREAT C-level executives don’t come from a job posting, and all-stars certainly don’t apply. It’s a search. But did you know that the most effective searches happen when leaders reach out to leaders? Well, that’s Patrice & Associates Executive Search, a company with hundreds of pros who spent years in the top ranks of corporations in the US, Canada, and worldwide.

Top talent and only top talent. That’s what you can expect.

Whether your search is for a CEO, COO, CFO, CMO, or any other C-level position, when you put your Patrice Pro on the task, you can count on meeting the top talent that not only has the qualifications but also is a fit for your organization. You may find it hard to choose from the two or three candidates you meet. That’s part of the job: screening the very best from the best. You’ll only meet the ones who pass our rigorous vetting process.

The candidates you’ll meet are pre-sold on your company. Time saver!

Too often, with other staffing companies, recruiters don’t take the time to sell their top candidates on the opportunity. Not the case with Patrice. Every one you meet would love to land the position. Otherwise, why waste your time with a face-to-face meeting? Yes, we pre-qualify based on the opportunity and their interest level, in addition to their qualifications and fit with your company.

The search starts with our network and extends as far as necessary to get you exactly the talent you seek.

Our Patrice Pros have networks that span the globe. That perfect candidate might be right in your city or town. Or not. Not a problem! Patrice Pros are in hundreds of cities across North America and collaborate often to find the best person for the job. In our network, everyone knows someone or two or three or more influencers who can steer our search. It’s a very relationship-based process.

Curious whether your next C-suite executive is already on our radar? That would be “sweet!”

Pardon the pun, but how fantastic would it be to have that perfect exec within our sights? It would get you to GREAT faster than planned, and that could mean the difference between so-so quarterly performance and exceptional. The right leader can make an impact quickly. Contact us today, and let’s talk about your current executive search. Give us a shot at finding that needle in a haystack. You’ll be not only glad you did, but thrilled you’ve found a new partner in your company’s growth.

Everyone needs a Liz Costa in their corner!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Liz Costa from an open requisition she was handling. I am extremely glad Liz reached out to me and am fortunate to have met her. Her professionalism and care for the overall talent acquisition experience has been the best I’ve witnessed in 20 years of professional experience. Liz took additional time to review my experience, leadership strengths, opportunities, and provided an in-depth review into what a successful interview looks like. Even after receiving an offer from the company, Liz has continued to check in on me to ensure the onboarding process is smooth and going to plan. I feel as though I have someone in my corner who will look out for my best interest and would be absolutely thrilled to work with her in the future if the opportunity arises.

Brenda Falusi was my guardian angel! 

Brenda who is a recruiter for Liz Costa, found me through LinkedIn and from the first contact made me feel that it would be possible to resume my career in a correct company and with plans for my growth in the future, she helped me to define what would be the ideal profile of vacancy and did a great job in my resume and portfolio.  Brenda was with me in each of the stages and vibrated with each achievement.  

I just have to thank Brenda for all her effort and dedication!

I am very thankful for Liz Costa.

She was kind, informative, and very encouraging during the process of applying, interviewing, and finally accepting the position once it was offered to me. I have worked with several recruiters before and Liz was the most friendly and professional at the same time. She made me feel comfortable and also made me feel confident during the interview process. After only a few weeks, I now consider Liz a friend and would certainly recommend her to anyone who is in the looking in the labor market. Thank you Liz, I appreciate you as a person and a professional.
