BUILDING BRIDGES THAT LAST

Good personnel choices should result in positive results in your company's management of its productivity, identity and overall public image.  Hiring the right person is more than filling a position – it is making an investment in the future.

PASSAGE and ASSOCIATES  philosophy and process in achieving the executive search requirements for our clients goes far beyond the normal perception that the process simply ends when the organization chart is inked-in with a new name, the fee is paid and everyone is wished "Good luck!". Contrary to that short-term philosophy, Passage and Associates measures success in the hiring process with the exact same criteria all our clients do: not the fact of placement itself but rather, what happens afterwards.

• Was there an immediate return on  investment?
• Was the right choice made for the long-term
• Did the decision truly add value?
• In essence, was it  the "right match"?

There is really only one thing simple about the executive search process, and that is the fact that it cannot reasonably be conducted by firms who are driven by a "numbers game" philosophy, where the "game is over" the minute the placement is made. The stakes are too high and odds are too low for this type of a game... this kind of gamble... to "end" successfully.
