After a stellar candidate is selected, the next step is providing the tools they need to be successful at your organization. (Afterall, according to Gartner, over 30% of new executive leaders fail within 18 months of starting a new job.)
Salo’s proprietary “Accelerated Integration Solution” helps the new leader hit the ground running. Provided as part of our search process (at no additional cost), this unique and proprietary program includes more than 40 videos/on-demand assets and six hours of live executive coaching—accelerating time-to-productivity, new executive engagement, leadership assimilation, and overall success of the placed executive.
Salo's winning search formula: Culture + Competency
At Salo, we know effective searches consider culture and competency in equal measure. For more than 18 years, we've used that philosophy to successfully place thousands of consulting experts and permanent professionals. We also use this process to hire talent for our organization – it's one of the reasons we have been perennially recognized as a great place to work.
