Validus Partners is a fully retained, contractually exclusive, executive search firm. We specialize in recruiting Chief Information Officers,Vice Presidents of Information Technology and senior level Sales executives. This specialization delivers superior value to our clients in two ways:
• We work fast. We are experts in our field and, because our network of senior IT and Sales executives is extensive, we can, on average, deliver a full slate of highly qualified candidates within 60 days. There are real opportunity costs associated with leadership vacancies. Quick search execution eliminates a significant portion of those costs. Further, effectively executing a senior-level executive search requires considerable effort and expertise. By outsourcing that task to us, our clients significantly reduce their opportunity costs by staying focused on what they do best: running their business. And we can do what we do best: delivering exceptional IT and Sales leaders who will make a difference for our clients' bottom line.
• Candidate assessment is our forte. As our clients will confirm, we take candidates through an extraordinarily rigorous assessment process. Effective candidate assessment minimizes the risks inherent in every hiring decision. Estimates of losses resulting from hiring mistakes range from three to fourteen times annual cash compensation. But losses even at the low end of that spectrum may exceed $1 million at the executive level. Our proven assessment process, in addition to our one-year replacement policy, significantly mitigates hiring risks for our clients; as our track record confirms, over the last thirteen years we have only had to replace two candidates--a success rate greater than 98 percent.
Our clients have a right to expect speedy execution and superior candidates. Therefore our mission is straightforward: do it faster and do it better.
