Hammer Consulting Inc. developed a search model that provides the highest quality of service for our clients. Founded from 30 years of collective experience in the search business, the Engagement Search Model combines the aggressiveness of Contingency Search process with the diligence and attention to detail of the Retained Search process. The result: a model that protects the integrity of our clients search while delivering candidates to whom they otherwise would not have access.

1. We guarantee our results and placement within 180 Days - before executing our Engagement Search model, both parties will agree upon a number of qualified candidates to presented in a set amount of time.
2. No job boards or resume sites – Hammer Consulting works exclusively through our qualified network of technology sales professionals that has been growing since 1991.
3. Go to market message – before executing the search, both parties will have a deliberate conversation to  understand what the hire looks like, the landscape of your current company’s culture and future, and the role this hire will play. This is extremely important for companies less than 300M for this is going to be the first snap shots the marketplace will be getting of your company. Regardless of the concentration, Hammer Consulting will make certain your company stands out with the right people.
4. “The Village Bicycle” - when you engage one or more contingency firms to run your search, that is what we call a “village bicycle” dilemma takes effect. Contingent firms close 1 out of 13 searches they take on so the sheer volume they need to take on to survive is at odds with the attention your search requires. This results with them spamming candidates, farming job boards, rushing un-vetted candidates to you and presenting shoddy and incomplete information about your opportunity in the market place. Our approach allows us to hunt elephants with rifles, not shotguns.
5. Right of first refusal - candidates presented to you will be exclusive as long as you elect to keep them in your hiring process. Our process takes away from the duplication and saturation like conventional contingency search creates.
6. We work with you one on one – Hammer Consulting will not take on additional searches that would conflict with your needs. The Engagement Search model allows us to focus solely on your needs and be true to your hiring objectives.
7. Getting into the weeds – Hammer Consulting has the tools to conduct back-channel references to verify that the candidates are who they really are combined and confirm their position and company. Hammer Consulting allows quality to trump quantity and keeps your best interest at the forefront.
8. Consulting and coaching - Hammer Consulting provides coaching in a consultive approach through the process when hired by clients to assist with process improvement and defining hiring culture at no charge with the Engagement Search model.
