We understand that recruiting talent for leadership and growth requires special effort.  And, if your organization is not located in a major metropolitan area, recruiting can be a daunting task. Some of our Coaching Partners have deep search experience and understand the challenges. When we are engaged our focus is a partnership with you during the engagement and our fees are calculated on a Flat Fee basis versus 35% of total compensation which other firms use. The Pinnacle process makes managing recruiting budgets easier. Moreover, with many years experience in the Midwest market we understand the kind of person you look for when hiring. We utilize all local, regional and national recruitment tools to ensure a slate of candidates who are the "right fit" for your unique organization and location.

Right Fit 
Pinnacle Companies partner with you throughout an engagement to ensure hiring a person who meets the tangible and intangible requirements of the position. Tangible qualifications are easily identified but finding the correct intangibles require seasoned professionals. Communication style, strategic agility, intellect, coaching/mentoring ability, leadership style under pressure and core values need to align with your organization's values, culture and mission. We use a 7- Step Search Process, behavioral-based interviewing and DiSC behavior assessment to assure success search completion.
