The successful search is comprised of numerous elements. The process begins with talented search professionals who are supported by a disciplined search strategy, original research, and technology.

• Search Consultants. We employ uniquely qualified professionals with first-hand industry experience and extensive personal networks.
• Search Strategy. A well organized, well conceived search program does not come about by chance; it is a strategically orchestrated and carefully managed process. Horton International works closely with clients to develop assignment-specific search strategies.
• Research. Our research professionals are industry experts who can identify candidates within target markets and companies. In addition to conducting original research, we employ our proprietary database, referrals, direct contacts from our consultants' networks, and internet sourcing.
• Technology. Our database is designed for the executive search industry and customized for Horton International. Its powerful data-mining capabilities allows us to identify prospective candidates and referral sources from thousands of contacts and resumes.
• Selection Process. Talented individuals become candidates only when their qualifications, style, and talents match the culture and demands of our client. We establish the key criteria for success and benchmark each candidate against the criteria throughout the search process.
• Communication and Contact. While we work as a team, every engagement is managed by a senior professional who serves as a single point of client contact. Through frequent communication, we keep clients informed about the search process, market receptivity, candidate interest, and industry-related feedback.
• Professional Standards. Every engagement is conducted with the highest ethical and practice standards. You can count on us to give you informed, candid, professional advice.
