Founded by a former McKinsey & Co. Senior Partner in the Private Equity and Institutional Investor practice, HKG is regarded for its high level of discretion, efficiency and integrity.  

 

Consultative vs. a Transactional approach: We strive to truly partner with our hiring leaders on every search, sharing market intelligence and benchmarking compensation along the way. On behalf of our hiring clients, we focus our search efforts on the most profound elements of long-term value for an organization: motivation, cultural fit, aspiration, understanding of the business and strategic intelligence.

 

HKG partners with our clients to advise them on the factors attracting individuals to their competitors. Our market intelligence and expertise allows us to help our clients craft a strategy that ensures they hire market-leading executives, to drive and deliver on their business objectives.

 

HKG approaches its business by pursuing three strategic goals:  excellence in research, excellence

in execution and excellence in character.

 

Research: Research is fundamental to the way we do business. The resources we dedicate to our research effort and the extensive use of information on our clients’ behalf distinguish HKG from others in our field.

 

Global Execution: Whether in the Americas, Europe or Asia, each assignment at HKG is conducted by a search executive whose role is to manage the process and candidates globally. A key component of our search methodology is the global recruitment effort.

 

Integrity: Integrity is essential to the success of all our business relations. Our clients and candidates rely upon the confidentiality with which we treat our interviews, phone calls, documents, negotiations and other communications. We respect and value the high degree of trust our clients and candidates place in us, to which we owe our many longstanding relationships.

 

The process of performing a search involves a series of activities, each of which is carried out methodically, and always involves a strong interaction among all the separate activities as well as constant communication among the client, candidates and ourselves.
