Executive
Search in the Midwest USA
ART
is
an executive search firm founded
in the U.S. by Americans in 1987 who wanted to
create an executive search firm that served
the whole country well - every region, every
state, every metropolitan area and every rural
area.
ART
recruits non-bureaucratic, results-oriented
senior managers and middle managers throughout
the U.S. for firms seeking to expand, develop,
or harmonize their local, regional, U.S. or
global businesses.
We recruit in the major metropolitan areas
across America, as well as in rural areas and
small towns that are not well served by
recruitment firms based in large cities, whose
focus typically is only on their own immediate
market.
But at ART, we recruit
everywhere!
ART is also available for local American firms
that are seeking managers anywhere in America
or on six continents - in over 100 countries,
in the top 1,500 world centers of business,
industry, finance, and creativity.
Some information
for companies seeking to identify good managers
in other countries: here.
We are especially well equipped to assist
companies based outside of the U.S. that are
seeking to either enter the U.S. market or to
grow and improve their business units in
America. Our candidates include senior- and
middle-managers who are able to run large
enterprises or to be an overseas firm's first
employee in the U.S., capable of starting up a
national or regional business from scratch.
Because we recruit
throughout the United States, and are
region-neutral in our perspective, we can
suggest the best locations and strategies for
recruiting the best U.S. managers for their
American business unit.
Some executive
searches are for
mission-critical sole-contributors, while
other searches are for organizational heads
supervising many hundreds or thousands of staff
members.
Our work spans local, regional, and also
cross‑border leadership recruitment within North
America— enabling companies to attract the
executives they need to scale, innovate, and
compete globally.
