As our very own Chris Iversen pointed out in this article he penned (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ceo-resignations-hit-record-chris-iversen/ ), CEO resignations have been on the rise in a very substantial way. And it is also happening across the entire C-Suite as well. Since the beginning of the 11-year Bull run in 2009, companies have been experiencing incredible growth with record profitability and liquidity. This has led to a “bottom-up” management approach to fill C-Suite positions with internal candidates. These individuals may have excellent operational expertise but may not have the experience to deal with crisis or real C-suite challenges such as the current and unprecedented Coronavirus Pandemic. In the C-suite, technical and functional expertise matters less than leadership skills and a strong grasp of business fundamentals.
At Iversen Martin, our In-House Team has the horsepower across the C-Suite to identify, plan and execute company challenges. The difference with retaining Iversen Martin, is our entire team works on every file. The client has the benefit and confidence of knowing each member of our team have their own specialty within the C-suite. This synergy has had incredible results for our clients with our Team’s final recommendation being a product that addresses all of the challenges and delivers a well thought out consensus for a plan moving forward.
The Iversen Martin Team approach will work very well for Executive Recruiters when you place us with your client. Think of it this way - in lieu of attempting to fill a position with just one individual you can provide the benefit of an entire team of C-Level executives to evaluate and recommend an approach that best fits the needs for your individual client, all for the same cost of placing just one person. Adopting this approach just might will provide you with a distinct competitive advantage over other Executive Recruiters in the marketplace. In addition, we are offering to do a Complimentary Business Health assessment for the client. The assessment allows the client to establish a relationship with our firm and build trust.
