What makes us unique?

We direct source and target the candidates you want

We don't rely on passive recruiting. The best candidates aren't looking for a job; they don't post to job boards, they don't read classified ads, and probably don't even have a resume. We have a large database of candidates, access to key leaders at top companies in many industries, along with all the latest research tools, but what sets us apart from most of our competitors is our commitment to rolling up our sleeves, picking up the phone, and directly sourcing and approaching exceptional candidates that are currently employed at the target companies you want.

We focus on nationwide searches for Pacific Northwest companies

We live, love and work in the Seattle area, and have many contacts within this thriving ecosystem. We have deep relationships with talented entrepreneurs and business executives, the investment community, and established academic and corporate leaders. When a candidate is considering relocation, we are passionate advocates for our clients and proficient at selling our region, which can help both parties optimize their decisions and be the competitive advantage in securing the candidate you want. Our knowledge of the Northwest can prove invaluable in providing local insights into schools, culture, housing, climate, recreation and the other benefits of moving to one of the most livable areas in the country.

We give your assignment top priority

We know your assignment is a top priority, so we will only take assignments we are confident we can complete in a timely fashion. Most large search firms juggle the needs of dozens of clients at any given time. Becoming bogged down with too many assignments can deplete recruiting resources; depriving your assignment the attention it deserves, resulting in a long or incomplete search. At Seapoint, our disciplined, thematic approach to sourcing and evaluating opportunities focuses on areas where we can best leverage our expertise and network of relationships, an approach that has proven to help us complete every search we start.

We personally lead every assignment

We are a small, highly collaborative team, with only a highly experienced partner with a vested interest in your complete satisfaction expertly handling your assignment from beginning to completion. When you hire us, the partners are making the calls; doing the interviews and helping you close the search. Most large search firm's experienced recruiters will pitch their services to the clients but then delegate the recruiting to inexperienced junior associates. At Seapoint, there is no 'bait and switch' with junior staffers. Our size assures your assignment is just as important to our success as it is to yours, so you're guaranteed senior-level attention at every stage of the search.

We have unrestricted access to the best candidates

We can recruit the brightest talent, from almost any company, anywhere in the world, without the far-reaching restrictions imposed by conflict of interest agreements. Most large search firms are handicapped by hundreds of 'off limits' restrictions that hamstring their ability to access large pools of candidates at the best companies. In other-words they cannot 'poach' from past or current clients, where most of the top talent reside. At Seapoint, our size enables us to go where the large search firms cannot, ensuring we can deliver a caliber of candidate unmatched by the larger search firms.

We handle your assignment efficiently

We understand you are busy running your business, so we strive to be easy to do business with. Our approach guarantees all communication with you is though a single point of contact. Most large search firms engage many consultants, assistants, researchers and associate recruiters on their search assignments, meaning you will likely be fielding calls and interacting with numerous people. This redundancy can become a burden on your time and slow the search process. At Seapoint, our partners personally lead every aspect of your search assignment from start to finish assuring the highest level of efficiency and effectiveness.

We manage your assignment with discretion and confidentiality

We are a boutique firm by design, which gives us the ability to carefully manage every aspect of your search assignment. When you hire us, all communication in the marketplace and all interaction with you, channels through one person. Most large search firms involve many staffers on each assignment, with assistants and junior recruiters making the calls. With many eyes looking over your assignment and numerous people working on your order, there is the likelihood there will be unintentional breach of confidentiality. At Seapoint, the partners are making the calls, so you get a discrete and confidential search, without the risk of overexposing your sensitive search assignment.
