"We're mostly about thoroughness and speed." Tal Newhart, CEO

Parcon Research is an executive search company that is specialized in performing time-sensitive/high-value, middle to senior level executive searches for clients of all sizes in all industries.  

We’re known as a quiet group that gets search assignments done quickly even under extremely difficult political and time constrained conditions. We learned a long time ago how to conduct ourselves in an especially efficient manner and pass those advantages along to our clients, all of whom we treat as economic partners.

What makes us different?
We are recognized primarily for our speed and sustained employment rate (e.g., people we find and place tend to fit well and stay employed with the client long-term). We are also known for going to considerable extremes to find those people. If that requires thoroughly mapping your prime competitors to pull out their best people, that’s fine (actually, that’s easy). If it requires traipsing through Australia’s outback to interview a high capital project engineer, that’s ok too. Our criteria is simple: Once we sign a contract we do whatever it takes to find the best person who’s willing to take the job you need filled. And we do it quickly.    

A note about our philosophy and a few more details
If we were to profile a typical search it would entail looking for a highly experienced competitor that is needed quickly because of an evolving, and occasionally disintegrating, situation. We make no secret of the fact we consider commercial competition to be an intense form of social warfare. Therefore, we generally focus on finding experienced corporate warriors since that’s the language we speak (see our popular senior management newsletter, The Art of Corporate Warfare). We look for people that understand the stakes of economic competition where every day is a live fire exercise. It’s the same whether our client needs a Chairman or a mid-level technologist. We locate, and help our clients hire, people that understand their job means more than just getting a paycheck—it means adding to the value of an organization so everybody else benefits too. And that categorically includes the shareholders.

There are a few other reasons our clients like us, for example we have some very useful online tools (e.g., our clients can listen via the web to recorded candidate interviews). But basically it comes down to this: We find the right people, quickly, and our fee structure is modern and very client friendly.
