OUR APPROACH
Much in the way venture capitalists infuse an organization with financial resources or a board of directors guide the largest enterprise, BridgeGate identifies and delivers human capital that is vital to a company's growth and proliferation.
BridgeGate's ability to consistently recruit the high-performing, “unrecruitable” executives is rooted in our unique brand of strategic services.
Unlike recruitment firms that focus primarily on ad hoc searches for only the most senior-level positions, BridgeGate treats candidate search and selection as a strategic business activity. Our model of performance based retained Executive Search serves the senior executive suite while our Recruiting Solutions practice addresses mid and senior level professional staffing.
BridgeGate understands that in every organization, the quest for talent is not transitory, but continuous. Accordingly, BridgeGate seeks to foster enduring relationships built on trust with both client companies and candidates. Sustaining meaningful and reciprocal business relationships provides numerous measurable benefits. With each successive interaction, BridgeGate gains valuable insight into a client's organization, its practices, culture and the competitive landscape. This level of partnership enhances the speed and efficacy of a search assignment.
Long-Term Relationships
One of BridgeGate’s most distinguishing attributes is our enduring relationship with our clients and candidates. Many of our clients rely on BridgeGate to build their teams on an ongoing basis. They share our thinking about the value of people as a company's most important asset, and they appreciate the time we spend getting to know the candidate universe and staying in touch with the top talent. Peripherally, they turn to us for insights, guidance and advice whether for market trends effecting talent acquisition or insight into issues pertaining to compensation or retention. It is these intense partnerships that deliver the best results.
In any economy, established or emerging, it's easy to fast-forward career expectations. Knowledge workers are busy multi-tasking and expanding their skill sets - all to ensure sane and sound career management in a business landscape that is continually being redefined. BridgeGate establishes meaningful professional relationships with candidates and acts as a career advocate or coach, empowering top talent with meaningful counsel about their industry, their options, their future. This multithreaded approach to managing and developing relationships yields matchless results.
Relentlessness
We do not confuse data with deliverables or effort with outcome. BridgeGate’s methodology embodies an unparalleled sense of urgency and relentless focus on exceeding expectations. For more than 40 years, a wide variety of organizations have entrusted BridgeGate to build leadership teams that are designed to have a transformational impact on their culture, their markets, their success.
Each member of the BridgeGate team leverages the breadth and depth of their individual domain expertise and the company's collective knowledge to provide a substantial foundation for understanding the strategic, financial and operational issues facing your company. This intimacy and expertise allows us to identify and attract exceptionally qualified people to your organization.
Commitment to Superior Results
The commitment to delivering excellent results is reflected in BridgeGate's fast and focused approach to executive placement which produces remarkably high rate of success in the delivery of retained searches. BridgeGate’s search process moves rapidly through a structured lifecycle, typically lasting 10 to 12 weeks instead of the customary 4 to 6 months. Our powerful search methodology aligns clients' needs with results based on pre-defined metrics and deliverables. This translates to company-specific recruiting plans that incorporate filters for corporate culture, management structure, departmental strengths & weaknesses, individual assets & liabilities and enterprise goals and objectives. Furthermore, BridgeGate's real-time access to key executives in competitive and knowledge-intensive markets provide for dramatically superior search outcomes - which is why our clients rely on BridgeGate time and again to identify and attract top talent faster than the competition.
