Our Approach
As a small firm, our “off limits” (organizations we cannot call) list is short. As a boutique, every search is as important to us as it is to our clients.
Our dedication to both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors lets us tap candidates from a wide range of industries. This often results in candidates who can “think outside the box” and lead our clients to truly innovative solutions.
What to Expect
- Top-level attention to your search.
Dr. Machlowitz personally oversees, and is directly involved with each and every search. - Understanding and articulating the opportunity.
We spend time at your location interviewing executives and/or board members to identify the combination of experience and expertise that will characterize the ideal candidate. With this knowledge, we can communicate your needs in a compelling, and complete manner. - Finding the best.
We target appropriate organizations, consult thought leaders for recommendations and nominations, and conduct exhaustive research to tap talent. We screen candidates extensively to reserve your time for speaking with finalists — not for seeing prospects. - Collaborating closely and communicating frequently with you.
We will share our knowledge, insight and experience with you, and review as much pertinent information with you as desired until your decision has been made.

“Marilyn was able to lead us to an audit committee chair for our board, no small feat in these times. Her database has extraordinary range; she zeroes in on useful connections. The more difficult the request, the more her range and skills stand out.”
Morris J. Vogel, President, Lower East Side Tenement Museum
