Case Study: Empowering a Multi Family Office with Targeted Executive Search

In the ever-evolving landscape of executive search, identifying and securing top-tier talent remains a paramount challenge.

This case study sheds light on how our experienced executive search firm effectively addressed the complex requirements of a Multi Family Office office based in Houston, Texas, enabling them to overcome obstacles that had stymied previous search attempts.

The challenge: Client’s 6-month search yields no viable candidates

Our client, a Multi Family Office office operating out of Houston, Texas, had been grappling with a pivotal search for six months. Despite collaborating with two other recruiting firms, their efforts had yielded no viable candidates. Frustrated by the lack of success and the apparent scarcity of qualified professionals in their market, they approached our firm for a solution.

The client’s challenges were multifaceted. Having exhaustively scoured the market, they believed no qualified candidates were available locally. Furthermore, their past encounters with executive search firms had been met with disappointment, leading them to seek assistance that could provide tangible results. They presented us with a conundrum: the need for relocation to fulfill their talent requirements.

The solution: FRI’s tailored approach saves the day

Upon engaging with the client, we recognized the familiar contours of this challenge. Our extensive experience in retained and engaged searches exposed us to similar scenarios, and we were uniquely positioned to devise a tailored solution. Our approach was twofold:

1. Redefining access

Rather than relying solely on candidates actively seeking new opportunities, we leveraged our expertise in recruiting passive talent. We understand that exceptional candidates often remain disengaged until the right opportunity arises. Our goal was to uncover this latent potential.

2. Comprehensive market exploration

Armed with our proficiency, we meticulously combed through the local market, casting a wider net than the client had previously experienced. Our commitment to exhaustive research allowed us to unearth candidates that had eluded other recruiters.

Execution and results: Success in just 2 weeks

Within a mere two weeks of embarking on this collaborative journey, we identified and presented three local candidates to the client. Impressed by the caliber of these individuals, the client swiftly chose to hire one. The efficiency and quality of our process exceeded their expectations, prompting them to entrust us with another search shortly after that. In both instances, they recognized our unique capability to source exceptional candidates previously inaccessible to them.

Over a span of six months, we successfully filled three searches for the client, all with local candidates who aligned with their needs. Our ability to bridge the gap between elusive passive candidates and the client’s talent requirements proved instrumental in reshaping their perspective on executive search success.

Cut recruitment time with the right executive recruitment firm

This case study exemplifies our firm’s commitment to revolutionizing executive search practices. By seamlessly blending our deep industry expertise with a proactive approach to identifying and engaging passive candidates, we ensured that our client’s critical talent needs were met.

Our prowess in transforming seemingly insurmountable challenges into resounding success stories underscores our specialization in delivering results where others falter. At our core, we are the epitome of comprehensive, effective, and transformative executive search.
