Why Travis & Company

The Principal Does the Work

The principal conducts all aspects of the search, including developing job specifications, managing research, making candidate contacts, interviewing, presenting candidates, checking references, and negotiating the offer.

Access to Candidates

Our small size works to our advantage when it comes to providing access to the widest possible range of candidates. Like most executive search firms, we do not recruit from our clients for two years after the completion of an assignment. Large national search firms with similar policies develop significant client blockages that put many candidates off-limits. As a result, our clients get the best person available for the job.

Research Strength

We quickly identify target companies and candidates. We can do more and better research than other firms because we have a 2:1 ratio of research consultants to principals – one of the highest ratios in the industry.

Assessment Skills

We are skilled at assessing organizational needs and evaluating candidates. Our clients value our ability to examine the universe of possible candidates and find those who are qualified and will be successful in the client's company.

Responsiveness

We respond to our clients' need for fast results, are tenacious in completing assignments, and are creative in overcoming the hurdles inevitably encountered during the search process.

Integrity

We adhere to the highest ethical standards and have a well-earned reputation for integrity in dealing with clients and candidates.

Guarantee

Should a candidate leave within one year of date of employment for any reason, Travis & Company will reinstate the search, charging only out-of-pocket expenses.

Off-Limits

We will not recruit from clients for two years after the completion of a search.
