Global Leaders in Executive Search

About Our Firm

We are Clearly Different 

We are clearly differentiated from our competitors in that we only have Senior Partners working in our firm executing Client engagements, each with 25+ years of relevant industry experience and decades of retained executive search expertise. Searches, from start to finish, are never delegated to junior associates, period.

Search Strategy- Extensive Talent Mapping

Every executive search, just like any business model, must have a well devised search strategy which is why we run extensive Talent Mapping for every search engagement that we execute as part of our deliverables and never at an additional cost to our Clients. We believe this is a prerequisite to a well executed search, never leaving a stone unturned and never settling in finding the best A-players in the marketplace.

Milestone Based Fee Structure

Our Professional Fees are structured based on Achieved Milestones providing Clients comfort that they won't pay another retained search fee only to end up empty handed at the end of the process.

Two Year Placement Guarantee

Lastly, we are confident in the thousands of successful executives that we have not only placed for our clients for almost 25 years but who have truly delivered value and transformational leadership that we provide a Two Year Placement Guarantee instead of the 'industry standard' of only one year.

Between now and shaking hands with your new executive hire, there are two roads. One can be an exhaustive, long and expensive search process that distracts you from the job at hand. The second is Davenport Search Partners where most all of our clients select their candidate of choice on the first slate of interviews and within the first 90 days or less of a search engagement with our firm.
