Finding great people shouldn’t feel like a gamble. We offer four straightforward services that meet companies and candidates where they are, without layers of fluff or filler.
When a leadership seat sits empty, every missed day reverberates through revenue, culture, and momentum. Our retained search model puts DePaulo Consulting on the hook for end-to-end delivery: role scoping, market mapping, discreet outreach, behavioral interviewing, and offer negotiation. We maintain a single point of contact, send weekly progress reports, and present a short-list—never a résumé dump—of candidates vetted for hard skills and values alignment. Expect shutter-speed timelines (average 30 days to slate) backed by a six-month replacement guarantee, so the risk stays with us, not you.
Replacing an under-performer requires surgical precision. We initiate a quiet, off-market search that shields your brand from speculation and keeps internal morale intact. Candidates sign NDAs before learning the company name, references are contacted off-hours, and interviews happen at neutral sites or after close of business. Meanwhile, we prepare transition documentation—onboarding plans, stakeholder maps, 90-day scorecards—so the incoming leader hits the ground running the moment you make the switch. Think of it as changing tires without stopping the car.
Before you post a job, know the terrain. We analyze competitor org charts, compensation bands, relocation willingness, and talent density by region. The output is a living market-map that tells you who’s out there, what they earn, and how to attract them—complete with warm introductions to top-flight prospects who’ve signaled interest in future moves. Clients use these insights to budget accurately, inform workforce plans, and accelerate time-to-hire when headcount finally opens.
High performers rarely scroll job boards, but they do appreciate a trusted guide. We start with a candid conversation about goals, gaps, and must-haves—followed by résumé refinement and interview coaching tailored to executive roles. When the right opportunity surfaces, we advocate on your behalf, manage expectations with the hiring team, and provide transparent feedback at every step. The result: fewer blind spots, stronger offers, and career moves that compound value over the long haul.
