Big Wins for Small Firms: Beating Giants in Executive Search with Josh Foulkes


Listen Later

Josh Foulkes from Sonder & Metric joins us for an inspiring episode on The Retained Search Show.

Imagine a David versus Goliath story where a small recruitment firm triumphs over industry behemoths like Russell Reynolds. 

Through market insight and client-centric service, this firm redefined what's possible in executive search. 

We explore how their tailored approach not only met client needs but also proposed a cost-effective salary range, underscoring the value of personalised service. Stories from our colleague Ryan in Tokyo echo this theme—demonstrating that a consultant's expertise can rival the reputation of larger firms. Such narratives illuminate the strategic shift from contingent to retained recruitment and the ensuing advantages in revenue forecasting and personal growth.

Transitioning into the realm of C-suite recruitment, we discuss the intricacies of navigating high-stakes hiring. 

Reflecting on parallels with the IT industry's reliance on giants, we highlight the importance of impeccable processes for smaller firms to compete. Through the lens of our experiences, this episode offers a wealth of insights into the evolving dynamics of executive search.
