• Big Search firms' problems: off-limits/access and their focus on selling new business 
  • Access to talent is blocked by client conflicts at big firms
  • Partners are expected to originate 20-30 new assignments - necessitating their time be spent on selling searches not executing yours
  • Big firms' sales pitch includes a long list of "relevant" assignments but all those companies and executives are off-limits for future searches
  • In addition, hundreds of other executives are restricted (blocked) because they are "active" on current assignments limiting the pool of talent
  • Completion rates at big firms are known in the industry to be 60% to 65%
  • Recycling candidates at Big Firms is a common practice, easier than developing new candidates

• Digital Age - the equalizer
  • Social networking, company websites and on-line directories have replaced proprietary databases
  • Conley Search Group has access to all this information through our network of research specialist
