Our Practice Areas

Human Resources

You need HR but can’t justify a full-time hire, or your existing team is at capacity. Seasoned HR consultants cover all aspects of HR in a way that works for your business.

Finance & Administration

Every small business needs financial reporting that is accurate, timely and relevant. We pair Virtual CFOs with Bookkeepers for cost-effective financial results when you need them.

The simple act of hiring is NOT the same as adding talent to your team. We understand how important it is to find critical talent that is matched to your business, culture and workforce plan. Let us help you.

Strategy & Governance

Don’t embark on the leadership journey alone. Let us work with you to strengthen your governance structure and leadership team.

Marketing & Communications

Without customers, your business would not survive. The leadership of a Virtual CMO is critical to aligning marketing activities with business goals.

Family Business Advisors

We have deep respect, empathy and experience working with small and medium sized multi-generational family businesses to help build the foundation for business and family continuity.

Pricing

First-rate leadership is a critical element of all businesses. We strongly believe that SMEs deserve to have access to effective Executive Search services in order to attract and hire top talent.

With this in mind, we created a Value-Based Executive Search model where the true value of the search comes from the quality of service, quality of results and making this accessibility priced for smaller organizations. Our model is in contrast to the historically used agency model where the price and therefore value of the search are based on a candidate’s final salary package.

A value-based model means that the price is fixed and not relevant to the candidate’s salary level. Our value-based model is typically 1/3 of the cost of the agency model. And we always include a Guarantee; if the final hire leaves the organization within 90 days BSG will continue the search at no additional cost.

Team

We’re composed of senior HR leaders whose years of firsthand accountability for building robust leadership teams and working directly with the new hires means we understand how important it is to make great leadership hires that have the impact you need and expect. This is in contrast to agencies often led by career-recruiters. We use our depth of experience to guide our clients and our senior team is hands-on throughout the entire search process.

Sometimes during an active search it becomes clear that an organization’s needs are slightly differently than originally stated. This is a natural effect from continued thought about who an organization wants leading them. If conditions do change like this, our team is adept at understanding when and how to re-calibrate while nevertheless ensuring optimum results for the client.

What's the Difference?
