ESI is a comparatively small search firm, able to provide highly customized, client-focused services. Our low overhead, low administrative expenses, and initial focus on local candidates typically result in cost savings to our clients. We do not charge any administrative fees and any additional expenses are approved in advance by the client.

We have over 3,000 business leaders in our network base (not resume base) to leverage for candidate referrals and to provide solid references. This is one of our keys to attract the highest quality candidates: good people refer good people. Our network also affords us an exponentially expanding network of qualified candidates.

We target the hidden job market. To find the perfect candidate for your needs, we utilize all available resources including the Internet, targeted advertising, industry publications, association networking, and most importantly, direct sourcing. We do not rely on resume databases because we believe that in today’s competitive job market, highly qualified candidates will not “hang paper” on a database.

We rely on the many relationships that we have developed over time, as well as a number of research tools and techniques not readily available to those outside the search profession.

We are proud of our service as evidenced by these notable statistics:

» Our successful completion of retained searches is over 99%.
» Our guarantee period success rate is over 99%.
» Of several hundred placements, we have had to replace a candidate during the guarantee
period less than ½ of 1%.
» We have nearly 100% client retention and the majority of our business is referrals.
