ART Global Executive Search and Recruitment

We Serve You Wherever Your Needs Are!

Founded in1987, ART is an American executive search firm that uses "best in class" methods to identify the best available candidates for our client companies' senior- and middle-management executive searches worldwide.

But what differentiates ART from other recruitment firms?

Our Simple Business Equation for Success:

(targeted executive search done by professional recruiters) + (low, flat fees) + (strong guarantees)

= repeat business from our happy and successful client-companies

ART relies entirely on headhunting.

Headhunting is a time-tested executive search process also called "the direct approach method." In this way, candidates, often recruited at the client's competitors or near-competitors, are given priority in the candidate identification and selection process as being the closest fits and least risky candidate choices for the client search.

Of course, other candidates may also be considered, and in some cases it is even preferable for a company to consider different candidate experiences. Because your ART recruiter is very experienced, s/he will know where to look for candidates, and s/he will understand what candidates would be best for a client's business goals.

ART has never used advertising.

Recruitment firms that rely on advertising to find candidates are not headhunters and they are not doing executive search! At a high cost and risk to the employer, such parties are merely placing ads and waiting for some barely acceptable candidates to appear. Their reliance on advertisements is an admission that they do not have useful candidates or contacts at the start of the search. A recruiter who relies on advertising is a person who has not been properly trained as to where to find good candidates or probably how to evaluate them

Recruitment by advertising is at best some kind of roundabout, passive, luck-based strategy that does nothing to uncover top candidates who are too busy making money for their companies to read help-wanted advertisements. Such candidates need to be strategically headhunted and presented with a career proposition that is better than their current situation. Our client-companies do not hire us to be lucky. They hire us because we are professional headhunters trained to seek out, evaluate, and present the best possible candidates for our clients' most important business missions for which failure is not an option.

ART never outsources any search to other recruitment firms.

By doing our clients' searches entirely ourselves, we are able to control the quality, confidentiality and timelines of the search. At ART, all activity and industry knowledge is centralized, for efficiency and for the creation of a finer and longer lasting placement.

We are in continuous operation, 24/7/365.

Our clients' business does cannot stop because a recruiter is asleep or on vacation. ART recruits everywhere, so this means that when other recruitment firms are working, we are working. When they are lunching, we are working. When they are sleeping, we are working. Not only does our model of efficiency help us finish searches faster, it also allows us to compete effectively in all world time zones.

Employers working with ART never feel that there is a time zone lag when working with an ART recruiter. Ordinarily, working with ART should feel as easy as working with a local recruiter in one's own city. This kind of rapid response and immediacy is critical in order for search parameters to be continuously fine-tuned between the employer and the ART recruiter. There is never a sense of "buck passing" or gridlock when working with ART, because for us, time wasted is simply not acceptable.

The recruitment breadth and depth of ART is such that we can quickly understand a client's vacancy, market, industry or region, so an employer does not need to waste time explaining things to an ART recruiter.

We recruit in dozens of industries, in over 1,500 metro areas on six continents, while most other recruitment firms recruit only in narrow industry sectors, often only in their own locality.

We recruit in the general management, sales, marketing, finance, supply chain, manufacturing operations, engineering, IT, human resources and legal disciplines. Most other recruitment firms only have sufficient experience in one or in just a few of these disciplines.

"We know where all the pieces fit."

Simply put, with over 30 years' experience recruiting in our clients' markets and in our candidates' fields - and everywhere in between - a company's departments, so we can call upon our deep knowledge and resources to find just the right kind of skills that your firm needs to fulfill its key business mission.

We might well have already recruited for your firm's direct competitors, as well as for your suppliers and customers. And if the search is an international one, ART is one of the best experienced search firms to understand the subtleties of different national business cultures. We can be helpful in making your firm's executive search less of a high-risk mystery tour and more of a normal meeting of like-minded people from your industry who can help take your firm to a higher level.
