For clients
Following the precept that there is an “art and science” to executing a search for a key employee, Marquee Search’s rigorous process starts with building a firm and comprehensive understanding of our client’s needs. The “art” of the placement involves the deft touch of matching a candidate with the right personality to the corporate culture of our client. The “science” includes identifying the skills and core competencies needed for the position and clinically executing a laser-focused search for, and assessment of, potential candidates in order to deliver a short-list of the prospects most aligned with our clients’ needs.
Key benefits of working with Marquee Search include:
Access to top talent: High-performing candidates are too busy being successful in their career to look for another job. Marquee Search can get their attention to tune them into their next career opportunity.
Experience and network you can trust: Why work with anyone but a trusted industry insider with a track record of success and robust network cultivated over two decades?
Professional representation: We work with blue-chip brands as an extension of their organization and professionally represent our clients in every communication.
Confidentiality and integrity: Propriety, lack of proactive recruiting experience, or a need for confidentiality can hinder in-house recruiting efforts. While recruiting for our clients, we have broader latitude and face fewer impediments to reach the right candidates.
Process:
Marquee Search is hired by our clients on an engaged basis. Our fee is very competitive and commits us to the successful completion of every search we take on. Please contact us to learn more about our service info@marqueesearch.com.
For candidates
By specializing in sports and entertainment and focusing on mid to senior-level professionals, Marquee Search builds long-term relationships with our clients and candidates. We believe in providing value to industry professionals through not only access to key positions in the industry, but also guidance, advice and information that help people successfully navigate the challenges their career arc and the industry can present. Candidates never pay Marquee Search for representation or career coaching.
Confidentiality is frequently a concern for those currently employed. We share that concern, paying great respect to the career equity candidates have built.
