Our clients come to us to find "the best" revenue-generating consulting executives and sales leaders. We create relationships with the top 10% of candidates you need and your competitors want! Once we've completed a search, we're inevitably asked to help scale sales and recruiting teams in addition to leadership teams, which Yellow Tree has an exceptional track record of doing. Partnership and Approach with clients is different from one size fits all. ◆ Mutually Committed / Retained Search is best for clients seeking top-tier Executive Consultants or specialized strategic hires. This could include the DEEP industry (ex: 100% Retail) or a strong history of building a Line of Business or Practice area. ◆ Exclusive Engaged Search is recommended for clients who need an agency "plugged in" to a search for a Sr. Manager or Manager or specialized Individual Contributor where the internal talent acquisition team can't focus on the position due to rapid growth or the technical network of candidates. Our core focus is on the customer and our reliability, tenacity, and genuine partnership approach, which have allowed Yellow Tree to become the preferred recruiting partner to hundreds of consulting executives and clients across the U.S. Show less
