Overview

The Beck/Eastwood difference starts at the top and varies in significant ways from other search firms' methods, strategies and tactics. Since 1985 Steven Beck's vision was to be a search resource of the highest ethics and Best Practices. After developing his client base, Steve recruited Gary Eastwood in October, 1985 to help him to realize his vision.

First, we limit the number of major clients we represent in any Industry, to ensure your firm that we have the full field of competitors to draw from, should you require Industry-specific knowledge at the upper Executive levels.

We also draw up a specific search blueprint for every search, for every client. While the buffet table of search methods are similar, B/E takes the time to analyze each assignment to determine whether a direct recruit approach is warranted; if the position should be advertised; whether or not to retain researchers for name gathering purposes; typically, a partner is Primary with another secondary. No handing the position off to a newer Associate with less direct rolodex and experience at direct recruiting, which is an art AND a science. Typically, we only get one opportunity to recruit someone, and that first call has to generate interest from the first 20 seconds.
