President - Alternative Service Concepts
Read More“Alternative Service Concepts (ASC) contracted with CSI Executive Search (CSI) to obtain candidates for its open CEO position. They spent a lot of time learning more about our company, leadership, and expectations for our CEO. This process involved completing a profile that helped us define and document the traits and attributes we required in a CEO. Once CSI built the foundation, they were set to begin recruiting candidates that fit our profile. Let me take a moment to interject: taking the time to build a foundation from which to launch the search really impressed me.
Due to the highly confidential nature of many executive searches, CSI is often restricted from disclosing client identities and related search assignments at the senior executive search level.
