POSITION SPECIFICATIONS
Why we are different:
- Macro-Management Philosophy: We don’t track hours in or calls out, we value our employees for the relationships they build and the experience they bring to the table.
- Flexible Work Environment: We have doors you can shut when your coworker keeps talking about her cat (most of us have dogs anyway). Each Managing Director has the opportunity to work a hybrid schedule with 21 (and sometimes more) paid company holidays.
- Generalist Firm: We cover every industry from Nuclear Engineering to Higher Education, giving you plenty of room to play. Go after an industry you’re already in or follow a passion.
- Teaming Culture: Executive Search can feel a lot like living on an island with your volleyball named Wilson, but not here at HGI. Our Managing Directors are happy to travel and help win business.
