Targeted Scientific Searching

We are unlike garden variety search firms or other “headhunters,” out there. We cursorily comb CVs and cruise online showcases, and Grayhawk’s expansive searches are scientifically based.

TestedWho We Look For

Timely:  Time is Money

Luke W. Clare, Managing Partner, Grayhawk Search: “I’ll speak with a CEO who is looking for a CFO, run into them again 6 months later, and they still haven’t hired someone. Meanwhile, their company is missing key milestones. Addressing that time-money pitfall is one of the biggest values we provide. And between freeing up the CEO’s time and the immediate value that the new CFO brings, it more than covers the cost.”

Contingency recruiting firms base their business on periods of low warranty, typically ninety days. To accommodate this quick-fix premium, due diligence on the investigation of prospective candidates is dangerously compromised. 

At Grayhawk, our extensive hiring process includes hours of interviews, scientific assessments, background checks, reference checks, skills validation, and on-boarding. As a result, we can confidently offer the longest warranty period in the financial talent search industry.

Look for candidates no more—look to Grayhawk, for the provision and verification of peak financial performers with the acumen and direction to propel your organization over its next horizon.
