Simply put, Bohan & Bradstreet is a human resource search firm that strategically consults with our client companies and advises on career planning and wellness with the candidates that we represent. We view ourselves as an extension of our client's senior management and/or executive team. Our heritage has been built by generations of rewarding placements. Our rich repertory of clients come from former candidates that were successfully guided on their career searches, professional corporate advisors and contented hiring authorities that have mushroomed over the decades. We care about the companies and applicants we serve and we show it.

Bohan & Bradstreet is willing to invest the upfront time to learn about the history, culture, organization, products/service and marketplace served. We ask a lot of questions, conduct a great deal of research and visit clients' location(s) to eyeball the business environment. Beyond all that, we want to understand the management philosophy and practices, the challenges and opportunities that each client faces and the mission/vision of the executive team. Then and only then, does Bohan & Bradstreet entertain the unique properties of each search assignment.

The candidates that we recruit are personally evaluated by former hiring managers and business executives that make up the Bohan & Bradstreet team. Whenever possible, over 90 per cent of the time, we meet with our candidates in person rather by e-mail, fax or phone. Again we invest the time, knowledge and effort to go beyond the technical qualifications and employment history. At Bohan & Bradstreet, we are interested in "who" the candidate is. We evaluate behavioral traits and identify the unique qualifications of each candidate to develop a profile of an ideal "next step" in their career evolution.

The placement process can be rather simple. In a perfect world, if a search firm is allowed to be an extension of the hiring company, then all that is necessary is a well executed recruiting, evaluation and interviewing plan to complete the successful search. Bohan & Bradstreet repeatedly makes the search process look simple. The candidate is given all the information required to view any opportunity with maximum availability. The counseling and guidance provided by our team of search consultants ensures a quality analysis of all factors and an open and/or private forum to discuss any or all details. As facilitators and career advisors, we stress quality of service to both candidate and company.

Bohan & Bradstreet was founded as a progressive personnel consulting firm that successfully recruits and places staff to executive level professionals. Our consultants started their careers with the Big 5 emerging businesses and Fortune 500 companies prior to becoming human resource consultants. This knowledge provides Bohan & Bradstreet with unique insight into our specific market niche plus in-depth knowledge of company structures and needs. Our clients are publicly and privately held corporations, financial institutions, manufacturers, distributors, service companies and emerging e-commerce, Internet, bio-medical and technology driven businesses.

Bohan & Bradstreet wants to develop long-term relationships with both companies and candidates. We build company profiles and key on the skills, qualities and chemistry that positions demand. This knowledge enables us to make recommendations for strategic hiring. We work closely with applicants to identify skill sets and career paths that will enable better control of their future. Our concluded searches average less than four candidates presented and our typical placed applicant interviews at less than two companies. We streamline the search process and save all parties time and frustration. This is why business professionals refer growing companies and career oriented individuals to us. We have built a reputation that we are proud of in the business community.

Our services encompass more than traditional placement activities. Via our newsletter, Executive Resources, we keep you informed of current business issues, management suggestions, and changes in the job market. In response to specific client requests, we have completed wage and salary surveys, reviewed organizational structures and provided outplacement services. Additionally, we bring together professionals from companies through our Business Roundtable Series to discuss a wide variety of managerial, operational, administrative and strategic issues.
