The Standish Model

Standish deploys the unique Standish Model© to build every search; to counsel and advise clients before, during and after each search to guarantee a lasting outcome.

The Initial Conversation

• A Standish Principal sits with owners, investors, boards or CEOs to fully understand their company’s operations, objectives and culture;

• Identifies whether new/additional executives would effectively address company opportunities or concerns;

• Where appropriate, assists to structure a new position, and to consider the impact on the organization;

• For every search engagement, we build a proposal detailing our approach and fee schedule, and tailor it to meet each business's unique needs.

The Search Process

• Standish creates a custom recruiting strategy and candidate network for each engagement---digging beyond job boards---to surface the majority of talent who are not actively seeking a new position. We personally approach these prospects to consider a career move that is good for them and for our client.

The Follow-Through

• Standish leads the new executive assimilation process;

• Works with the new executive and the company for the first year post-hire to identify and address any opportunities for improvement that either may have;

• Guarantees retention of the selected candidate and places a portion of Standish’s fee at risk for one full year after placement;

• Declares a successful search only after the new executive’s first year of actual results.
