Our partners have over seventy years of executive search experience and have completed hundreds of engagements. We pride ourselves on providing world-class service and results essential to ensuring that our clients obtain the best talent to achieve and exceed their business goals.

Benchmark's proprietary search methodology including our Benchmarking Dashboard™ makes certain that all stakeholders are in alignment regarding selection criteria and candidate profile. Our clients are provided with the transparency and assurance that the very best candidates are identified, screened and serious about pursuing our client‘s opportunity. Benchmark's national network of CXO, VP and Board level executives, extensive and up to date internal database, broad research capabilities and track record have gained us a reputation as a preferred search partner.

Benchmark’s approach is to specialize in markets, i.e. information technology for federal and commercial, versus the typical model of specializing in a specific position, e.g. CFO’s. In our experience just focusing a practice on a specific position such as CFO does not give the search consultant a well rounded view or understanding of the overall company and challenges in other key functional roles. Benchmark takes the approach of understanding and knowing market drivers, trends, key competitors, relevant business models and most important the top talent leading the best companies, i.e. CXO’s and their direct reports in all functional areas. By taking this approach Benchmark’s partners are able to understand our clients business, market and recruiting needs thoroughly.
