Executive Search

Are you looking to fill an existing or anticipated executive position? Maybe you're an executive looking to move on to your next challenge. Who do you go to, who do you talk to?

We work through Boards of Directors, Investment Bankers, Venture Capitalists and Executive management to find and secure the very best talent for new and existing positions.

Our searches are discrete, employing many of the same techniques as some of the "High End" name executive search firms.

We attribute a large degree of our success to developing close working relationships with our clients and understanding their business needs. As a result of these close-working ties, we have been very successful in placing many CIOs with client companies.

Because we are involved with technology and staffing decisions everyday, we have an up-to-the-minute pulse on the marketplace. We can identify trends as they happen and advise you accordingly.

Ask to speak with one of our executive placement counselors. All inquires are confidential.

Pivotal Solutions is head and tails above the others. I really appreciate the fact that when I prepare a profile or description of the positions I am interested in filling, they will often come back and question me, even challenge me, to make certain the profile truly matches my needs. Ours is a business relationship as opposed to a transactional one.

-Brad Manning, CIO, Quaker Chemical Corp

This will be a major hiring year for us. It's a great time to be in healthcare. Steve will be our primary go-to guy.

- Scott Steinkirchner, Senior Project Manager, Geisinger Health System

I need retailers who know IT. That's what Pivotal Solutions provides me with. It's a highly personal approach in a generally impersonal industry.

-Ginny Sforza, VP of Information Technology, Bloomingdale's, Inc.

Pivotal spends the time selecting the ideal candidates before they send recommendations to us. They do the editing. They do the matching. The end result is fewer resumes but far more qualified candidates.

-Brad Manning, CIO, Quaker Chemical Corp

I could never get this level of person by working with Monster. I need the personal touch and Pivotal provides that. Steve has a background in IT, which is good, but even more important, he can read people. That makes for a perfect storm.

-Ginny Sforza, VP of Information Technology, Bloomingdale's, Inc.

They carefully select candidates so that we don't have to interview all kinds of inappropriate or incompetent people.

- Scott Steinkirchner, Senior Project Manager, Geisinger Health System

Pivotal Solutions is distinguished by what I would call a "less is more" approach.

-Brad Manning, CIO, Quaker Chemical Corp

Pivotal Solutions achieves the greatest possible challenge for me: they find me people who are half IT brains, half business brains. That hybrid is critical to what my department does and Steve Edelman makes it happen even though few people in the IT world have that fusion of experience and skills.

-Ginny Sforza, VP of Information Technology, Bloomingdale's, Inc.

Most search firms rely on the "more is more" way of conducting business.
Meaning, they assemble a batch of resumes, send them along to us and hope that one of them sticks.

-Brad Manning, CIO, Quaker Chemical Corp

Pivotal Solutions acts at times in an HR capacity. They place with us before the scheduled time and it's just wonderful. When we have to let go of someone, they remove from our plates what we prefer not to handle and they do it superbly.

- Scott Steinkirchner, Senior Project Manager, Geisinger Health System

Pivotal Solutions always does. There is no substitute for that. Steve and I meet, we map things out and then the search begins. All too often search firms send over a ton of resumes and hope one sticks. Pivotal Solutions’ superior style is just the opposite.

-Ginny Sforza, VP of Information Technology, Bloomingdale's, Inc.

Pivotal Solutions turned us on to the contract-to-hire process. We don't have to hire someone without knowing how he/she will perform on the job. We can wait 90 days, assess them, and then make a decision.

- Scott Steinkirchner, Senior Project Manager, Geisinger Health System

The best way to summarize this is that Pivotal knows us--they make it their business to know who we are and what we need.

-Brad Manning, CIO, Quaker Chemical Corp

Our main IT department is based at Macy's offices in Atlanta and I am free to use their help in recruiting but I find I can talk until I am blue in the face and they don't seem to get the unique kinds of people I need.

-Ginny Sforza, VP of Information Technology, Bloomingdale's, Inc.

We are in nowhere-Pennsylvania. This is not an easy place to recruit people to. But Pivotal Solutions’ extensive database of prospects makes it easy for us to have them handle it and they always find the right people for us.
