Yellow Tree’s Unique Value:
We stand out from large, rigid search firms and traditional contingent search agencies, offering a fresh and effective approach to emerging leadership and executive search. Unlike large search agencies that often lead their searches with Jr. Associates, we provide a more personalized service. On the other hand, “traditional contingency” firms often lack expertise, focus, and commitment. Yellow Tree operates effectively between these two models, prioritizing what’s best for our clients.
In addition, our experience gives us access to the resources and provides the reach of these bigger firms, yet allows us to remain agile and “highly accountable” to our clients, ensuring your peace of mind.
The Partner you meet with at Yellow Tree personally conducts the market research and guides you throughout our proven “The Five Stage Yellow Tree Process” until our successful search is concluded.
Yellow Tree’s Partner will ensure your satisfaction. And we deliver quickly!
