FAQ
What is Heller Search Associates?
Heller Search Associates is a retained executive search firm that recruits superior IT executive talent for our clients. Our clients range from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries including manufacturing, digital media, financial and professional services, energy, healthcare, hospitality, non-profits, retail and consumer packaged goods.
What roles has Heller Search recruited?
We have recruited almost every role in the IT organization including CIO, CTO, and heads of infrastructure, applications, architecture, security and project management organization. We have recruited business relationship executives who have spent the majority of their career in “the business.” And we have recruited general managers and other senior executives at high-tech companies.
How do you find your executive talent?
Based on a strategic approach to search, our team of executive technology recruiting specialists use our extensive database, built from over a decade of networking in the IT executive community, “fresh” research to be sure we are always augmenting our database, and relationships we have built with industry experts who have their own specialized networks.
What are Heller Search’s differentiators?
- Niche Focus: All we recruit at Heller Search are IT positions, so our team is made up of specialists in the IT space; as opposed to generalist recruiters -- who might not know the different between technical and applications architects -- we are IT subject matter experts; "we know it when we see it."
- Networks: Martha Heller, President of Heller Search, has been writing and speaking to the IT executive community for more than a decade. This combination of writing, speaking, and executive search gives Martha and her team unrivaled access to technology talent – both on and off the market. We do not regurgitate resumes; our networks are "fresh."
- Size: We are a boutique firm, and as such, our senior leadership is very hands on. We do not “seal the deal” and then pass the search onto a junior associate. Our experienced managing directors have full accountability for every search we do and personally work with our candidates. Also: as a boutique firm, our hands-off policy has minimal impact on any search we take on.
- Process: We understand that who to hire is the single most important decision a leader can make for his or her organization. Heller Search uses two layers of metrics based screening to ensure a match on skills, experience, and cultural fit.
- Fees: Unlike most retained firms who charge a full retainer before they have even begun to work, our fee structure aligns with project milestones and incents us to perform quickly to complete each search we do.
