Unprecedented Guarantee Offered by Search Firm—Firm Puts Money Where Mouth Is June 05, 2003 Selker Leadership, LLC, announces the introduction of a two-year guarantee for candidates placed as a result of an executive search. Setting precedent in the search industry, Selker Leadership is standing by their commitments and methodology by guaranteeing placed candidates will remain productively employed for two years. In the event that this does not occur, and a client-company feels that the circumstances are a reflection on the caliber of Selker Leadership’s work, then upon request, they will bring their full resources to bear on the search for a replacement candidate. Performance Values Assessment™ (PVA™)is a comprehensive methodology that empowers an organization to use its declared values as the framework for evaluating and hiring new employees. By determining behavior representative of a company’s values, Performance Values Assessment dramatically increases the likelihood of hiring individuals who are a match. It is used in all Selker Leadership Executive and Board searches and is also offered as a stand-alone service. Greg Selker, President and CEO of Selker Leadership, LLC commented, “No one in the search industry addresses the real problem, 40% of all retained searches aren’t successful and it gets worse from there. Of the remaining successful searches, we estimate industry-wide approximately 75% of the placed candidates leave their companies somewhere between 18 and 24 months. Our Performance Values Assessment methodology changes this outcome.” Since the beginning of the search industry, the standard guarantee offered by both small boutique firms and major multi-nationals for a placed candidate to be productively employed with a client company, has been one year. However, Selker Leadership’s PVA methodology delivers a far deeper understanding of an organization, its values and the behavior most representative of these values, than the normal search process. When this understanding is used as the framework for evaluating potential candidates with approximate skills and experience, it dramatically increases the likelihood of facilitating a successful match between a company and a candidate. As a result, the guaranteed time for a placed candidate to remain productively employed can be increased. About Selker Leadership, LLC
