Introduction: Here are our differentiation and the top 2 questions we have been asked: Q: What is your unique differentiating factor to all the other recruiters? 1. The WG attends, sponsors, and exhibits at conferences and seminars. Our firm invests back into the industry by having a high profile at these events so we can connect with your candidates many times a year and leverage those relationships for our clients. 2. We are positioned as a leader and expert in Executive Search, yet we also recruit Mid-Level Management as well. 3. Our processes for recruitment are superior. We are highly collaborative and transparent with our clients. We work with you as an extension of your leadership team and are your advisor, not your vendor. 4. Our retention rates are high. We give a 6-month guarantee on our candidates. Other firms give you 30-90 days because they have a higher risk of the candidate falling off. Ours stick. Q: How can you make us believe your candidates are both better fitting and able to perform better? We can tell you that our candidates are people we know or know our other candidates. If we had a search assignment from you, we would assess what progressive value a potential candidate has brought to his/her former and current organization. If your assignment for us is a Project Development Manager, the candidate will provide a deal sheet, or if it is a sales role, we will have the candidate present a 30/60/90, for a marketing role, we would have them do an evaluation on your organization’s presence on the web and issue you a report. This way you have a sample of their work along with our written summaries explaining why the candidate is a match for your role. We also show you in our submission how their skill sets align with the positions requirements. We take the guess work out of it. We do not just send you a resume, we do our homework all before they are even submitted to you. We also match cultures since that is the driving decision for most candidates these days. If they are looking for a functional/bureaucratic organizational structure, they may not do well in a matrixed organization. We take that into strong consideration when getting the background of your org’s culture which we prefer to do in person if possible. We do this with our Bay Area Clients and our East Coast Clients even fly us out every year to strategize for their hiring needs for the following year.

How We Stack Up Whitham Group Executive Search Q: What sets Whitham Group apart from all the other executive search firms out there? A: Many things set our firm apart from all others such as strictly residing within our niche of renewable energy. Many of the large firms will cover over 200 industries and being tightly networked within that large number of industries is impossible. Whitham Group knows the top players in the energy world; we are highly networked, and pride ourselves on keeping up with sustainable technologies in our industry. Q: What do you look for in a client? A: Our quest is to bring viable opportunities to our candidates and value to our clients. Our clientele ranges from small businesses, start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Q: Who will handle our search? A: The President personally oversees each search and provides constant communication between the client and our firm. We provide weekly reports on who we have sourced, what companies we are extracting our candidates from, and full candidate biographies. Q: How does your search firm identify and recruit potential candidates? A: Whitham Group does not rely on a database. We actively recruit new targeted individuals for your leadership role(s). Our staff personally knows and has direct access to the industry's centers of influence and can leverage existing relationships to identify and connect with proven players. Q: How will Whitham Group be involved to ensure candidate retention? A: Our firm maintains communication and overall continuity with both the client as well as the successful candidate during integration. Additionally, it is equally important for us to stay connected through the hired executive as they too transition. Q: What quality standards does Whitham Group have in place? A: Whitham Group clearly articulates our firm's operational metrics and quality delivered to each of our clients. We provide progress timelines from the points of initiating your search to candidate interviews to completion. Q: Will Whitham Group be a credible ambassador for my organization? A: Whitham Group understands that the search firm you select to conduct your search is a direct reflection of your company. We prefer that our client spends time with the principal(s) of Whitham Group to gain an understanding of our industry and sector knowledge, how we are perceived in the community and industry as well as our level of professionalism in regards to how others will view you and your business through us.
