Forbes Group

Our Philosophy

At The Forbes Group, we believe that work is about more than just a paycheck and companies are about more than just profits. We believe that every individual has two spiritual needs: the need to grow and the need to contribute. These needs are non-negotiable for high flyers at all levels and across all industries. To attract the best people, companies must recognize and act upon this truth. They must provide people with opportunities to grow and develop - and to make a meaningful contribution to a quest they believe in.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide companies with a Talent Advantage: a talented, highly motivated workforce that gives them a competitive advantage that cannot be easily imitated. We believe that companies that prioritize the growth and development of their employees will reap the rewards of increased productivity, commitment, and loyalty.

Our Services

At The Forbes Group, we specialize in leadership assessment, executive search, and consulting. Our services are designed to help companies attract, retain, and develop top talent that drives business results.

Executive Search

We execute on VP & CXO level searches in the technology industry. Our focus is on recruiting leaders who bring out the best in people and create inclusive environments that promote creativity and innovation. We use a unique approach to assess a leader's competency, which goes beyond their experience, skills, and credentials. Our process involves identifying talent and figuring out who is capable of achieving excellence in a position.

Consulting

Our consulting practice is focused on successful promotion. We provide clients with a process for promoting the right people. Figuring out who will succeed in a higher-level position is a critical challenge. We help clients get it right by developing strategies for selecting and developing leaders who achieve exceptional results.

Interview Training

We are committed to delivering interview training workshops based on the FIT hiring process in 2015. Our interview training program is designed to help companies interview and assess leaders in a way that predicts success.
