Relocation for Senior HR Executive
A southeast Michigan-based professional services company was having a difficult time finding a senior-level HR Executive. We won the day in our proposal and began the search, focusing on southeast Michigan location.
Over the years, it has been my experience that, sometimes, recruiting people who live outside the state — but who have lived in the state or have other connections — are often very strong candidates who are highly motivated and end up being the best candidate who gets over the goal line.
We found a very strong candidate in Arizona who attended school in Michigan and, as it turns out, was motivated to move back to Michigan. Her relocation was not complicated, and we worked out an acceptable package for all parties to get her hired! She was very grateful for the opportunity and has since been promoted.
Navigating a Global Succession
ASG engaged in an assignment to assist with the succession plan of a long-time, C-Level executive located within the client’s North American facility in Detroit.
We conducted a search for his replacement on behalf of this global manufacturer of capital equipment which is headquartered in Europe (in conjunction with the outgoing executive and the management team based on two continents) for a Global Chief Sales & Marketing Officer. An extensive process surfaced several qualified candidates, ultimately narrowing the field to two finalists. Both candidates were highly qualified, with the preference split among the departing executive and the management team based in the USA and Europe.
A deeper dive into motives for change, extensive references and a keen understanding of company culture resulted in an offer and acceptance from the finalist. Two years later, the company is thriving and their CSMO is well-established and successful.
