What makes us different?

Our overarching objective as a firm is to provide significant value to our clients, when engaged on either a retained search or in providing a rapid response solution to an interim leadership need, by identifying exceptional leaders who will make a lasting, positive impact – the desire to achieve this runs through everything that we do.

Unlike larger firms, the lead Partner (Tom, Bryon or Roy) you work with will be in constant communication with you throughout the entire search process.
Two Partners team together and personally conduct all aspects of the search.

We are committed to exceeding client expectations and achieve this by employing a transparent and systematic search process.

Our added-value original research, unique candidate reports and comprehensive reference checking enable clients to make informed decisions regarding candidates.
Our professional fee arrangements can be either percentage based or fixed and capped in advance.

Clients are "off limits" to us for two years after the conclusion of our most recent search with that specific client.

An executive placed with a client as the result of a Horgan Splaine search engagement will never be approached at any time to leave the client company.

Being a boutique firm we have fewer client companies in any given sector. Larger firms have more partners, more clients and more companies that are off-limits.
Our smaller size enables us to target a larger pool of possible source companies thereby substantially widening the talent base we can search in.
