StoneSassa Group is an executive search firm whose goal is to identify search consultants and internal recruiters who best fit your financial executive recruiting company, investment bank, hedge fund, private equity firm, asset management team, or technology company’s corporate culture.

Clients


You are already an executive search firm performing recruiting practices every day – why not recruit your own candidates directly? It’s daunting because only a mere 10% are actually looking to transition.

Unlike other industries, executive search has no oversight. Therefore we have little to no Conventions, Happy Hours, Meet and Greets, Commissions, Boards, and Executive Search Industry wide committees. Other than LinkedIn – how would you find anyone?

StoneSassa Group is convening Executive Search consultants. Many work in virtual isolation in their own firm not realizing transitioning to another office perhaps only a block away can change their entire career trajectory while adding tremendous value to your executive search firm.

Candidates


Do you know what someone within Executive Search with your precise level of experience is earning? Do you know how your career can grow with a firm if they provide you with the autonomy to meet with clients on your own?

Experienced Candidates – Do you know what firms will compensate for your existing clients and how you can leverage their clients to maximize your existing business platform?

StoneSassa Group provides the answers to these questions plus the resources to take your career to the next level all while considering a long-term professional path which will be the most ideal one for you.
