Executive Talent is Not a Transaction

When you engage our Executive Search Team, you’re putting decades of experience, connections and commitment to work.  The team is led by our principals, who will work with you one on one on each retained search.

Over the years, we’ve successfully conducted tens of thousands of contingency searches and placed executives at every level. That expertise—combined with our deep commitment to building long-term relationships with our clients—is the foundation of our proprietary retained search model.

Our goal is to understand yours, and we tailor our resources and methodologies to achieve that. First, we narrow the field to the right candidates and then, the right one. But our work doesn’t stop there. As a 360-degree talent source, we also assist with executive onboarding, leadership development and more. Isn’t that what a true partner should do?

This is a search for leadership. This is a partnership for success.

You’re making your own way and moving fast. We’re a flexible team ourselves, without the burdensome bureaucracy that weighs down larger firms. So we’ll be with you every step of the way, guiding you to success in your executive search. And because your search is that important, our principals work directly with yours.

As specialists in healthcare for decades, we know where the top executive talent is—and how to introduce you to them. We specialize in helping fast-moving organizations like yours discover, build and grow your most precious resource: executives with the vision and ability to lead your organization into the future.

The only thing we lack at BEC is needless overhead. And you’ll see the advantage in our executive search pricing. Compare us to the largest firms and see the difference for yourself.
