Executive & Professional Search

We Factor In the “Human Elements” to Uncover Ideal Candidates

Employee Relations Associates' executive search team goes beyond typical search criteria to factor in the critical human elements that are crucial for executive success, but sometimes overlooked by other Rochester professional search firms –

  • Personality and social intelligence
  • Behavioral tendencies
  • Leadership qualities and style
  • Vision and insight
  • Confidentiality
  • Cultural fit and appropriateness

 We know your individualized needs are crucial in successfully selecting a candidate during Rochester executive search, so we work closely with you from the very beginning of the executive and professional search process.

A Smoother Transition for You and Your New Executive

Even after you’ve made your selection, we work closely with you and the selected candidate –
