As one reaches senior management ranks it’s critical to engage a known specialist search firm and in the retail industry, Plummer Search is the top executive search firm.
By focusing exclusively on the retail industry, Plummer & Associates has gained the knowledge, experience and perspective of a specialist — an expert. In the process, they have earned an impressive reputation that few, if any, executive search firms can match in a niche market. Plummer & Associates is a shrewd judge of talent because of their deep understanding of the issues.Plummer & Associates would often reach outside the retail industry to discover the talent needed to fit a specific engagement. They have discovered that disciplines such as marketing, information systems, logistics, human resources, and corporate finance are not as well developed or as sophisticated in the retail industry. A key to success has been identifying key executives in industries with analogous issues to those so important to being successful in the day-to-day customer interaction of the retail industry. The insight and experience to find those who have the characteristics to be successful in the retail industry is their specialty.
Plummer & Associates is a boutique, highly focused top notch niche player with global experience. Many of their successfully filled positions required candidates with international experience. They have successfully built teams to lead retailers in Europe, Asia and Latin America and overseas owned ventures in the U.S.
Plummer & Associates’ boutique size meant that nothing is delegated. Each associate must excel at his or her responsibilities. Their searches are tightly coordinated to capture the best of team synergy and individual effort. Another critical reason for selecting a highly focused boutique firm such as Plummer & Associates is that they carefully select the number of searches they engage in. Plummer & Associates uses “Business fit” to zero in on the success factors needed for the business to be successful. Specifically tailored to the retail industry, their proprietary process carefully evaluates four critical attributes of a successful candidate: intellectual qualities, personal characteristics, experiences and skill… factors that go beyond buzzwords like “culture fit” and “chemistry.” By focusing on the business and its needs, the candidates they present and place consistently have significantly higher success rates. Each situation requires a different combination of “business fit” attributes.
In executive searches for the retail industry, the defining difference is Plummer & Associates. They have combined experience and insights and have worked with Venture Capital Firms, Board Members, Management teams and Human Resource Directors. John Plummer who leads the firm has over 30 years experience in human resources management and search consulting. John has developed a highly consultative approach to executive recruiting not found elsewhere.
