In 1980, we envisioned building an exceptional executive recruitment firm, one that reflected our values and high standards of professionalism. We wanted to work with clients for a long-term "win-win" relationship. We wanted an environment of cooperation among our consultants so clients would have access to our entire network of contacts.

We believed that by hiring and retaining outstanding professionals, our firm would be able to establish and maintain strong relationships with clients regardless of the business cycle. To that end, we chose a partnership structure that rewards our people with equity participation and that enables each partner to customize services to match the needs of the industry and clients for which that partner is responsible.

Our strategy proved sound. Current partners average over a dozen years of service at Smith Hanley. Our clients know that they have the commitment of people with both experience in recruiting and extensive knowledge of the industries in which we accept assignments. And as a result, we have a history of continuous growth even during downturns in the market.

We take pride in the outstanding reputation our consultants have built. We look to the future with confidence and excitement, and trust that we will begin a mutually beneficial relationship and have the opportunity to prove our capabilities to you.
