Greywolf was incorporated as a retained search practice in 1992 by a team of high tech staffing professionals driven to deliver a search service that would consistently out-perform both retained and contingency alternatives on a performance-for-cost basis.
Contained Search was born, and the results achieved over nearly two decades have been phenomenal. Fill rates consistently exceeding 80%…in an industry where 55% performance is the standard. Customer return rates exceeding 75%…in an industry where you’re only as good as your last search outcome.
Greywolf’s Container Search service delivers exceptional retained search performance within the context of an engagement model featuring shared performance and financial responsibility.
While our core expertise is in the world of technology…semiconductors, electronics, control systems, scientific and design software, specialty materials, and control systems…the only thing we truly specialize in is finishing what we start. If we have doubts regarding our ability to meet a client’s expectations, we won’t take the business.
Our performance has enabled the creation and maintenance of long-term relationships with clients across North America and Europe. Through the 1990’s, we worked principally with industry leaders, including Dell Computer, Advanced Micro Devices, Eaton, ST Microelectronics, Input/Output, Analog Devices, and Mentor Graphics. Since 2001, we’ve primarily worked with early stage start-ups, helping them acquire the critical executive an technical talent they need to achieve success.
Regardless of whether our client is a global industry leader, or a start-up working to become the next big thing, we treat them all the same way…as if they were our only client.
The Container Advantage
There are at least three areas in which Greywolf’s Container Search service significantly outpaces the competition; our Research methods, our Pre-Qualification process, and our level of Accountability.
Exceptional Project-Specific Research
Every great search begins with great research, and we have the ability to identify anyone we need to find, based on the needs of our client. We start our research process via the Internet, but this public information is simply the starting point, leading to the non-public information our telephone-based researchers generate.
Qualified/Qualified Candidates
Candidates with world-class performance skills are worthless unless they’re willing and able to accept your job offer. Greywolf’s pre-qualification process begins with the evaluation of the skills and abilities required to succeed in the job, then extends to the identification and resolution of the motivational, compensation, relocation, and logistical issues that can turn even the best match into a dead end.
Unequalled Accountability
Throughout the search process, our clients receive search status reports illustrating the prospects and candidates we’ve identified and contacted, as well as their current status. We even tell our clients why specific candidates aren’t interested in pursuing their opportunity, so we can better understand, and overcome, their objections. With The Container, our clients always know exactly where we stand.
Our differentiated methodology, driven and delivered by our exceptional consulting team, constitutes the core of The Container Advantage.
High Return Applications for The Container
The Container is typically used to address executive and managerial search assignments. At the same time, our team has the technical understanding to address C-and staff level technologist searches. Regardless of position level, when you need to acquire the very best candidate for your most critical organizational need, The Container is your best possible solution.
