WHY OGILVIE

Ogilvie is a thirty-year-old executive search firm with offices in the United States and Europe. We are proud of our longstanding brand and reputation.

We partner exclusively with organizations seeking to create strategic advantage through the leaders they hire.

We are a full-service partner, helping clients to hire executives in all functional areas, such as: CEO, COO, CIO, CTO, CPO, CFO, VPs, and Managing Directors.

Ogilvie’s client base is built exclusively on recommendations by our clients and candidates. Customer satisfaction is the very essence of our business. We treat every candidate and the potential candidate with the utmost professionalism. We are ambassadors for our clients, ensuring that every executive we reach has a positive experience, regardless of whether they are hired.

We focus on searches, not on future clients, so we work to aggressive timescales. We only accept searches where there is no direct client overlap, enabling us to reach the broadest candidate pool.

Robin Schwartz and Peter Segal have many years of experience in corporate and consulting roles, as well as recruitment. We understand our clients because we have shared their experiences. We personally manage every aspect of the search and we do not delegate to junior staff.

Ogilvie partners with businesses who want to grow their technology business or non-profit executives who will have a mission-driven impact on climate change, education, and life sciences. We are successful with both start-ups and established organizations.

Our presence in multiple geographies and our knowledge of multiple cultures allows us to leverage our network and original research, to introduce world-class candidates to clients. We do not depend on a database.

We understand and utilize best practices in interviewing and evaluating executive talent. We assess candidates in a balanced manner, providing both their skills and opportunities for growth, in relationship to the client and the role. We stand by our results.

We reach out to talented executives who are not actively looking at job opportunities and we are able to turn them into candidates. Today’s executives are deluged with recruiting messages. Executives frequently tell Ogilvie that they respond because of our unique outreach approach.

We are not afraid of a challenge. We have successfully taken over projects after clients or other search firms have been unable to fill the role.

 Provides client-centric terms and fees. Clients agree to a flat fee, with no hidden additional expenses. Progress payments are due when agreed-to milestones are achieved, ensuring continued engagement and results.
