Often Companies believe that Executive Search Firms "fill" orders.

For example, a company will have an "Open" position for some reason - and that can lead their internal Talent Acquisition team , or CHRO , to reach out to a Search Firm, discuss the position with a Partner in the Firm.. agree upon a Fee that will be charged-

This FEE can be somewhere between 25%-35% of the positions "all in" compensation:

If it is a Sr. level position (these are the ones that Search is needed):

$500K base,

40% bonus,

$200K in equity over a vesting period of 3 - 4 years.

YOU do the math. on the fee.

Once everything is agreed to, an agreement is signed, and then a more junior level team of researchers will go to work combing through LinkedIn for candidates.

Brick Executive Search can work the same way- we can "fill an order" , but, we charge a lesser fee because we are smaller-MUCH SMALLER. However, we have TONS of industry experience- WE KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A P&L WITHIN A COMPANY- because we have done it. So, a company will get more value with us, and the white glove service you find in a boutique.

All of that given, however, we base our revenue projections on a CANDIDATE model. We don't wait for the "order" to come in.

SO,

On March 17, 2025 after meeting with an absolutely STUNNING, BRILLIANT, TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS PRESIDENT....

I said to him" Hmm... I want to introduce you to someone".

I just had a feeling my client could see tremendous value in this person to manage his very large China textile business , while also working with an extraordinarily talented VP of Design to maximize an athleisure collection at retail and wholesale.

Three dinner meetings later, our new President had a start date of May 5th.

Congratulations to this magical Team.

Thanks for the open mind and the partnership of both Client and Candidate.
