The Magellan Difference

Experience

Magellan brings over forty years of combined professional services search experience to each client engagement. At our core, we believe that knowledge, expertise, and the ability to be a trusted advisor to both our clients and candidates, are key elements that distinguish us from our competitors. To each engagement, Magellan brings a deep understanding of the market and the significant trends that may impact our clients’ decision making process. We advise our clients in defining their long-term needs and counsel them as to the viability of each search. We strive every day to better understand our clients, their culture, their competitors’ businesses and our candidates’ careers so that we can provide the most comprehensive and results driven search services in the professional services industry.

Like many of our clients, our business model is centered on being a low leverage, high value add service. The consultants that develop our client relationships deliver the work.

Process

Often the best candidate is one that is not yet looking. Magellan is committed to the passive – not just the active – candidate talent pool. Our unique three-step search process ensures that we touch all possible prospects and sources. First, we perform independent primary research to identify and map all of the prospects and sources from the target list. Second, we contact our personal relationships to identify candidates and referrals. Third, we call executives who buy consulting for insight and referrals. This methodology ensures we identify and build relationships with the best candidates in the market rather than just working our rolodex or qualifying by resume as candidates surface. Magellan also provides its clients with full transparency into the search program and advices on what can and cannot be realistically achieved.

Commitment to Results

Our low overhead structure is a significant competitive advantage that allows us stick with a search until it gets completed – no matter how long it takes. This ability to take time out of the equation is something larger firms can not do. It allows us to establish trusted advisor relationships with candidates and immerse ourselves in a particular market or geography. We attribute our Industry leading search completion rate of 92% to our commitment of the time and resources necessary to complete each search.
