Executive Connections LLC - Blended Solutions

"Few companies develop a systematic "on-boarding" process for their new leaders, even though this is a critical function with major organizational implications. Blended Solutions is an invaluable tool for that most vulnerable time in the transition."

— Senior VP Corporate of Leadership, Major Financial Corporation

Executive Connections knows that individual and organizational excellence is not just attained through the hiring process, but by achieving a successful transition into the new organization and delivering the measurable results that are expected over time. That’s why we have created a unique new service called Blended Solutions that picks up where traditional executive search services leave off.

Once the Executive Search process is concluded, Executive Connections then coaches the executives we place to transition smoothly into their new positions, to understand and assimilate into the corporate culture, and to quickly achieve meaningful business results. Our expert and innovative Executive Coaching program is specifically designed to meet the needs of senior executives transitioning into a new role in a new organization. Coaches provide “on-boarding" support to the executives we place in clarifying their roles and responsibilities, meeting and exceeding short-term performance expectations, building new working relationships, and implementing business strategies and tactical plans appropriate to each new assignment.

Executive Connections is so confident about the effectiveness of our Blended Solutions program, having seen many successes first hand, that we guarantee the success of every executive we place.

Guarantee

Executive Connections is so confident about the results of our Executive Search and Bended Solutions approach that we guarantee the success of the candidates we place. If the individual we place leaves the organization or is terminated within a six-month period from the hiring date Executive Connections will replace them at no additional fee (excluding direct expenses).

Executive Coaching is included in the placement fee for the Executive Search assignment as an added value and is highly recommended. Executive Coaching is provided because the costs of a failed executive placement for our client, the candidate, and ourselves, are far too great to allow this to be an option or outcome of the search process.

From the very beginning of the new relationship, coaching builds agreement and alignment between the hiring executive and the placed executive on the specific objectives and deliverables for the position.

As part of this process the placed executive prepares and implements appropriate action plans to successfully address the key responsibilities and accountability of the position, as well as to help transition successfully into the new organization and culture. Coaching continues for a period of six months from the start date.
