Founded in 1997 by the late Donald J. Smith and Kathleen A. Graham, HQ Search has grown from a family office of two to a staff of ten experts. HQ Search has also grown in scope from a financial services focused boutique retained search firm to a professional services firm offering three types of financial services focused products: retained executive search; Growth Advice™; and Growth Introductions™.

★ Completely confidential.

• Firms: that means only the qualified know that you're adding staff.
• Candidates: that means no one knows you're looking except those few firms of interest and only after securing your permission and protecting your paperwork.

★ Hidden markets revealed.

• Firms: that means access to those top performers who are not actively seeking a new position.
• Candidates: that means positions you will not find on job boards.

★ Reliable market intelligence provided.

• Because of its diversified portfolio of clients in the different financial sectors, HQ Search is aware of economic, financial, and marketing information that will be of value to your corporation. Complementing this information, Kathy uses her MBA knowledge to interpret and inform your company of developing trends that could impact your business.

★ A non-competing client base guaranteed.

• HQ Search is committed to NOT working with any company that is a direct competitor to one of its clients. This policy ensures unlimited access to candidates who are of interest to your firm and avoids potential conflicts of interest.

★ Most positions worked are of a financial nature or are in the employ of a financial services firm. EXAMPLES.

Consulting services for firms to optimally align and grow their people resources in order to reach their firm's strategic objectives and sales goals.
