Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

For Clients
Overview
Many organizations rely on ad hoc succession plans and recruit only when a position has been “officially” opened. These organizations do not usually look ahead in a structured way to what future skills they need for long term, continued success.
We encourage organizations to work with us, where practical, to continually evaluate their talent pool, conduct ongoing, proactive analysis of future needs and to develop rigorous periodic forecasts of their talent needs.
Because Pivotal Partners spends a significant time getting to know its clients, because of its business focus and expertise, it is uniquely qualified to help with people development, succession planning and search.
Pivotal Partners performs references on finalist candidates for all permanent placements, using a mix of interviews and in-depth due diligence. We offer expert assistance with employment negotiations, providing recommendations regarding compensation and other issues necessary to gain a final agreement with the selected candidate. Our independent role and knowledge can often be the critical success factor at this important juncture of the engagement.
We recognize that every client is different and, as a result, are committed to being as flexible as possible in our commercial engagements. While we are open to customized approaches, we have highlighted our typical Types of Engagement here.
