Welcome! Our firm is perhaps the first truly global executive
search firm. Our recruitment capabilities are never limited by the location
of physical offices or by the limited resources of local staff. We operate
all over the world as a virtually local recruiting firm.
We are headhunters with candidates and clients in the major world centers
of business, technology, industry, finance and creativity. Just as if we
were in your city, we act like a local recruitment firm for our candidates
and clients in your area, presenting them with choices local to them or,
if needed, with other options within their state, province, nation, region,
or worldwide.
Our special focus is on recruitment in the upper management
executive and middle management ranks.
We are a US -headquartered executive search firm founded in 1987. We
started out as a “bricks and mortar” executive search firm focused
on one metropolitan area and a handful of industry markets. Our particular
attention to candidate and client needs was greatly appreciated by our friends,
and before long, our firm was recruiting successfully coast-to-coast,
competing easily with well established search firms in their own home towns.
In the 1990’s, ART began recruiting internationally, country by country,
city by city, continuing to please and amaze clients and candidates with
our abilities to find top people in their own cities.
Today, ART is an executive search firm that recruits in over 1,500 major world markets
on six continents. Our expansion came from hard work: learning different markets, industries,
and business styles, one by one. Due to the breadth of our industry contacts,
to our being open for business ‘round the clock, and to our ability to
easily communicate with our clients and candidates, we act as a "virtually
local" search firm in every market without the need of field offices. When
you work with ART, you will always be assigned one of our top headquarters
recruiters, with all company resources put at his or her disposal for your
key search. Most importantly, we pride ourselves on our understanding of
the career needs of our candidates, and our goal is to find the right company
for the right person.
Unlike most executive search firms, which typically limit their operations
to a narrow radius from their office, ART operates wherever we are needed--
in San Jose, California or San José, Costa Rica. In London, Ontario
or London, England. In Canton, Ohio or Canton, China. Rather than limit
our candidates to a few local client companies and our client companies
to a few local candidates, we can potentially offer you a broad range
of choices in your home metropolitan area, your county, state, province, region,
country or worldwide.
At ART, your home is our home. Thanks to the internet and
an interesting 19th Century invention called the telephone, we have discovered
that there need be no such thing as a recruiting "home territory." Do
you work for a "local" manufacturer that only sells its products locally
and that has no reason to know about customers, competitors or suppliers
elsewhere? Does your "local" drugstore carry pharmaceuticals that only
function properly if they are ingested only by "local" people residing within
your commutable area? Does your telephone only make and receive "local
calls?" We hope not. Similarly, the useless concept of the "local"
search and recruitment firm is a passé practice for much of the
professional executive search field. Today, the better
headhunting firms do not rely on their area codes to prove their abilities.
