Our expertise also includes organizational consulting, helping companies define their long-term talent needs, and assessing and optimizing organizational performance.

 

APPROACH

Our research-driven approach exceeds that of most other firms. We don’t just rely on our network or names in our database. We make an exhaustive effort to get to know your business, where you sit in the market, and whom you compete with, and then we target those companies. This kind of deep dive provides enormous insight into your competition, benefiting the entire team, and revealing the most promising talent.

In addition, we go beyond the norm by delivering detailed transparent reporting on a weekly basis. This ensures we’re all pulling in the right direction and efficiently course correcting when necessary.

We loved working with The Pacific Firm!  They were fast and fabulous in finding many qualified candidates and we often hired multiple candidates within one search.  Stacie is incredibly responsive and very open to collaboration.  Their research team moves very quickly to identify excellent people and gets them into to see you for interviews equally quickly so your search is always moving forward.  

Their candidate write ups are always filled with the interesting tidbits that help you feel like you are getting the “inside scoop” on a candidate and give you confidence that the fit will work!
