Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.

Independence
- Pivotal works directly for its client, according to strict guidelines. Since Pivotal is not an internal resource, it is removed from corresponding internal pressures. It is, therefore, well positioned to give independent advice.
- Our independence also allows our clients to benefit from searches where it would like an “arm’s length” approach (often important when searching within the same industry).
- Pivotal is positioned to act as a third party negotiator on behalf of our clients. Candidates are often more likely to tell us why they would consider making a career move. We can act as a third party negotiator, focusing on bringing the two parties together. We expect having to ask the tough questions and mitigate engagement risks to ensure both parties are making the best long term decision.
