Executive Management and “C” Suite recruiting are a large part of our recruiting focus.

Today’s financial services firms need top caliber executives to lead their organizations – to grow – to manage through change – to position for the future. Today’s successful leaders are able to engage, assess, plan, communicate, and execute. In attracting strong leadership and building the senior management team of your organization, you need a recruiting partner that has the same capabilities.

We engage with the client, assess the opportunity and competitive landscape, plan the search strategy and communicate as we execute the plan. Huffman Associates has extensive experience recruiting for “C” Suite leaders and their direct reports.
