Bay Area-based firm listed among recruiting industry leaders chosen for quality of candidates and service
Berkeley, California (PRWEB) April 22, 2019
The Pacific Firm, a San Francisco Bay Area-based leader in executive search, has been ranked by Forbes among the top executive recruiting firms in the recently released Forbes 2019 list of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms. A total of 200 companies made the list from a pool of over 17,000 that were nominated.
Forbes partnered with the market research firm Statista to conduct broad online surveys among external recruiters, HR-managers, and candidates who have had experience with recruiting agencies over the past three years. The Pacific Firm, along with other leading agencies, was selected based on the recommendations of over 6,300 respondents who rated the companies on a number of dimensions including quality of candidates, communications, and service.
“We’re extremely proud to be recognized by Forbes as a top executive search firm,” said The Pacific Firm’s founder and CEO, Stacie Blair. “It confirms our commitment to our clients to exceed expectations and deliver the highest caliber candidates and service. It’s an honor to be listed alongside such stellar firms as Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, and Robert Half.”
“In this current tight labor market, the best candidates for leadership roles are typically not the ones who are actively looking,” explained Anders Bialek, VP of Corporate Development and Strategy at iRobot. “That’s why working with an experienced recruiting agency who can tease out uniquely qualified candidates is so essential. The Pacific Firm also appreciates the importance of cultural fit and they are incredibly responsive, which is why we love working with them.”
Blair founded The Pacific Firm in 1994 to provide start-ups with retained search services. With offices in Berkeley, California and Queensland, Australia, the company serves clients in technology, consumer products, and retail, as well as non-profit organizations, across the U.S. and globally.
The Pacific Firm specializes in finding passive candidates by employing targeted research and sourcing skills to proactively seek out top tier executive-level talent. Their roster of clients includes Autodesk, iRobot, Peet’s Coffee, hello products, and Christian Church Homes.
The Pacific Firm is a registered veteran- and women-owned small business. Blair is also the founder of Caves Du Vin, a Berkeley-based fine wine storage facility and service.
