Executive Search

LymanDoran conducts senior-level, retained Executive Search across several industries and a wide range of functions, specializing in small and middle-market companies and non-profit organizations. At LymanDoran, you will receive unparalleled partner engagement in every search. Our approach to Search is unique to the marketplace. Here’s why:

Discovery

We engage our client partners in a rigorous and enlightening Discovery to deeply understand the strategic objectives of the organization. A collaborative and iterative process designed to leverage our organizational and talent expertise against our client’s needs, LymanDoran Discovery allows us to represent our clients authentically in the marketplace, and results in a detailed Position Description and target Candidate Competency Profile that brings clarity, vigor, and speed to our Search.

Search

We identify and screen high-potential candidates by sourcing across our extensive network built from years in the business, and by leveraging the latest research resources. We work quickly and are careful to represent our client partners with discretion. We bring our clients a selective pool of candidates that possess a superior ability to deliver the desired business results. We develop a relationship with each of the candidates that reflects well on our client partners. We are candid, compassionate and respectful.

Assessment

Our assessment methods are sophisticated. We utilize proven techniques to identify and assess candidates’ skills and talents against the needs of the business, and invest the time to understand each candidate as a whole person, not just a professional.

Integration

We continue to leverage our organizational expertise as candidates move through the interview and selection process and ultimately one is invited to join the client organization. We are there with our client partners every step of the way, through the offer process and continuing through the integration of the successful candidate into the organization. The result: a significant acceleration of the candidate’s ability to impact business results.
