“I feel profoundly lucky to have found Margot as she proved to be much more than a recruiter; she became a friend and trusted adviser. In asking some very probing questions and really listening to my responses she helped me better understand what was important to me. Combine this with her connections, experience, expertise, reputation and tireless enthusiasm and you get an exceptional partner for your career quest.” December 2008

Steve Wexler , Director of Research and Emerging Technologies , The eLearning Guild

“I was introduced to Margot through a colleague in 2007, and I must say that I have not been disappointed with her work. She is a tireless hunter who goes WAY above the call of duty. She get's up early and stays up late searching for suitable opportunities for her clients (and she's comfortable calling and email when she has an idea). Margot has cultivated very strong relationships in her industry and she has established herself as a proven professional. I would highly recommend Margot's services to any company that is seeking high-caliber employees, and any job-seekers searching for opportunities to showcase their expertise.” 2009 -- Leading LMS Sales rep


"Thank you! We are extremely happy (with the salespeople you placed with us). They are hitting it out of the park and will get us to our number this year .....and probably years to come. They got up to speed and started bringing in revenue quickly. Bravo - you nailed it." May 2008, W. Grand, Regional Manager, Compliance Software Industry; Hired from Avondale in Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, New York

SEARCH PROCESS

Search Assignment Acceptance
Once an assignment has been accepted, the search consultants will embark upon your executive search by gathering all pertinent data regarding the client company, including financial information, company history, goals and objectives, and qualifications necessary for successful candidates.

Research
All search assignments are thoroughly researched by industry and professional/executive level in order to identify where the ideal candidate for the job is currently working. Using multiple techniques, our staff will cross reference a variety of sources to ensure no avenues or candidates will be overlooked.

Candidate Contact
We pride ourselves on our ability to develop contact and rapport with identified candidates. Contact is made discreetly, professionally and with demonstrated results.

Evaluation of Candidate
The ASI staff carefully conducts an interview of each potential candidate and upon request by our retained client, will conduct face to face interviews.

Candidate Presentation to Client
Upon the conclusion of the above process, our clients are presented with a selection of typically 2-4 executive candidates who each bring very specific strengths to the position. The presentation will include detailed information regarding the candidate's accomplishments as they pertain to the role our client is seeking to hire. After consultation with our client regarding this information, we will arrange interviews between the candidate and client.

Negotiation
The Avondale staff are adept at managing the compensation negotiation process of the entire package from initial candidate contact through the start date, ensuring that the candidate begins his/her new role seamlessly and comfortably.
