Heidrick & Struggles Expands Interim Executive Placement Service to North America
CHICAGO, March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSII), the world's premier executive search and leadership consulting firm, today announced that it is expanding its interim executive placement service to North America. Known as Heidrick & Struggles Interim, this service will help current and prospective clients to identify and attract world-class leadership on an interim basis.
Built upon the proven success of Heidrick & Struggles' existing "Protem" service in Europe and Australia, Heidrick & Struggles Interim complements the company's core executive search business and represents the next step in Heidrick & Struggles' plan to provide integrated high-level leadership consulting services to clients around the world. Heidrick & Struggles Interim will be particularly beneficial for organizations that are experiencing rapid growth, consolidation, mergers, acquisitions, system changes and turnarounds.
"Companies facing periods of intense organizational change are often those in greatest need of seasoned interim leadership to respond to situations of change, uncertainty and opportunity. Heidrick & Struggles Interim offers an ideal solution, based on the same commitment to quality we bring to clients in our executive search business," said Wes Richards, Senior Managing Partner for Leadership Services at Heidrick & Struggles. "In fact, the talent pool of interim leadership is a subset of the top-quality leaders we have come to know well through executive search. Access to these leaders is an integral and established component of our business and, united with the power of our global network of professionals and the Heidrick & Struggles brand, it creates a compelling combination for our clients who need world-class leaders on an interim basis."
Initially, Heidrick & Struggles Interim will focus on assignments for three senior-level positions: chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief information officer. The company is able to rapidly provide top executives to client companies through its network of affiliate interim executives who it identifies and assesses on a proactive basis.
"Our pre-established network of affiliate executives enables us to move quickly and decisively for our clients, an important factor for companies that are in the midst of change," added Rick Troberman, Managing Partner for Heidrick & Struggles Interim. "Our clients, now more than ever, have been requesting this kind of help based on what they are confronted with in the current market."
