Our Philosophy


Every existing and prospective Spectrum Client is unique, with different needs, challenges, priorities, and corporate cultures. Spectrum appreciates this and will invest considerable time getting to know your business intimately. Should we work together, our goal is to be able to represent your brand as effectively as you do. This discovery process also enables us to develop a compelling value proposition to take to the marketplace, as 95% of the candidates we reach out to are gainfully employed and are not actively seeking new opportunities. The competition for top notch talent today is as fierce as its ever been so it is vital that we make the strongest initial impression possible.

The Spectrum Advantage


Three critical steps define the core of Spectrum’s search process. Technology has leveled the playing field within the Executive Search Industry. “The Rolodex era” is a thing of the past. Our sophisticated research strategies expand the universe of addressable talent, beyond traditional databases. Spectrum customizes unique value propositions for each client, maximizing our ability to persuade proven performers. Utilizing our Spectrum Scorecard allows us to expertly evaluate and measure all candidates against your specified needs, as each assignment has different requirements and priorities. This process is designed to optimize your time.
