Why Boutique?
Boutique executive search firms execute two-thirds of all retained search work for corporations in the United States—without the ubiquitous branding and billion-dollar budgets of the big players.
The term “boutique,” originally French for a small, fashionable shop, is commonly applied to companies that are elite and highly specialized. There are boutique investment banks, boutique law firms, even boutique hotels. And like the best boutique hotels, ABRES executive recruiters are independent, high-touch, specialty businesses that stand apart from large chains and their cookie-cutter style.
Our executive search partners offer superior service and accountability because they are small and focused—specializing in particular industries (e.g. technology, manufacturing, retail, sciences) and in particular functional areas (e.g. CFOs, CIOs, CEOs).
Boutique retained executive search consultants combine depth of understanding with high-touch service and current, active knowledge of the talent available in your industry, ensuring that your company finds the best match for your needs.
