  • The Market Has Changed!

    November 2024

    We Report On The Market We don’t make the market, but we do observe and report on it.  During every search, regardless of industry, function or position, there is an update report (or multiple reports) presented.  For each search, we look at...

  • Dell or 3M?

    April 2024

    Do we miss our ‘work people’?  Prior to March 16, 2020, we used to commute to work on a daily basis.  We interacted with the same people every day.  We commonly saw our ‘work people’ for more waking hours than we saw our spouse and...
