Our Beliefs
Headhunting shouldn't be a dirty word
It’s all about value
Recruitment redefined
We want to change the way recruitment works. We are uniquely positioned because we speak to your industry leaders and have the ability to bring them to the table for your consideration. The best is hard to find, even harder to get them to shift focus on new opportunities that might exist. Our processes allow us to unlock these hidden talent pools because we know how to sequence the event. With the belief that our clients know more about the business they are in than we could ever hope to we tap into this knowledge in order to harness it and turn it into actionable processes. As important, we assist to build the story, your story. We respectfully build upon your inherent knowledge by working side-by-side to introduce new, fresh approaches and create boldly successful placement strategies.
Our Focus
We really love solving the very hard problems
The essence of our business
We ask the right questions that get to the heart of every search and tackle it. We get an understanding of all the raw elements in your talent acquisition strategies, search capabilities and business culture before we deploy tactics. That means we focus on three key areas—strategy, leadership, and culture. Effective recruitment strategy solutions take into account how all three associate with one another.
Plan of attack
We work with leaders to create a non-fictional story highlighting the interconnected forces between; strategy, leadership, and culture. The balance and delivery of information in these key areas coupled with the new and exciting challenge candidates will face is where we earn our stripes. We specialize in the sequencing of those efforts to create the most value for our clients.
Our Approach
We get to the very heart of the matter
Everything in balance
Our customized placement process and methodologies have purpose. It’s a balance between art and science, logic and creativity and it’s this very balance of skills that makes us uniquely effective. We bring both views into one so that our message both speaks to the emotions but also to the mind of the talent we approach. You will find our approach refreshing, appealing and mixed with our unique personality, we will deliver a grandly designed experience.
Leveraging these complementary forces
Fundamentally, our placement methodology is about solving real talent problems within a defined set of constraints—which is also the very essence of strategy. The balances we create between art and science, logic and creativity together forces clarity and helps everyone imagine the new possibilities. Grand Design will help client’s articulate talent issues and mobilize solutions in ways that resonate with top talent emotionally and intellectually.
