At Hawthorne Search, we are dedicated to providing exceptional talent to winning leadership teams. We understand that driving market dominance requires innovative thinking and the right people. Our mission is to develop close and effective working partnerships with our clients to ensure we understand their strategic issues and search requirements. We believe in building relationships based on listening, integrity, and trust. This approach enables us to source and assess the best candidates, focusing on leadership capability, technical expertise, motivation, and cultural fit.

Industry Expertise

We have extensive experience in various industries, including SaaS, Software and Data, AdTech, Martech and Digital Media, and eCommerce. Our team has worked with high-growth companies for over a decade, recruiting nationally and internationally for various roles. We have built a national reputation as a go-to resource for companies that need key hires in these evolving industries.

Services Offered

We offer a variety of services, including Retained Search, Engaged Search, and Contingency Search. We understand that hiring needs and priorities can change, so we offer flexible solutions to meet our clients' objectives. Our services are designed to drive results by getting to the "why" before worrying about "who" the search will turn up. We work closely with our clients to answer questions like "Do current talent strategies support long-term growth?" and "Which roles drive the most value now and in the future?"

What We Do For Clients

We collaborate with our clients to find the answers to these questions, sourcing and assessing the best candidates in terms of leadership capability, technical expertise, motivation, and cultural fit. Our highly interactive and consultative approach leads to optimal results, and we are able to access candidates others might not. This nearly eliminates "off limits" restrictions, giving our clients unparalleled access to the world's most exceptional talent.

Results

Our clients typically only need to interview four candidates before hire, compared to the industry average of 11. Over 95% of our placements stay beyond the guarantee period, and 80% of placements made over the past three years remain with our clients. Each engagement has a dedicated researcher to ensure a creative research strategy and total market coverage of relevant talent.
