Healthcare Executive Search Firms:
Focus Search Partners’ 2016 Quality Outcomes Lead the Industry 2/3/2017
Most executive search firms keep their quality outcomes private. We, Focus Search Partners, continue to
publish and communicate our annual quality performance metrics. This is the eleventh consecutive year
Focus Search Partners has led all healthcare executive search firms with reporting quality outcomes.
###
Focus Search Partners is focused on meeting the need for high-quality senior executive talent in both the
Technology and the Healthcare industries. “We are keenly aware of the increasing trend within
Healthcare to effectively monitor, manage, and report on a variety of metrics pertaining to key quality
outcomes” says Paul Frankenberg, Managing Partner and Founder of Focus Search Partners, LLC, a
retained Healthcare executive search firm with offices in Nashville, TN, San Francisco, CA, Austin, TX,
Houston, TX, and Colorado Springs, CO.
“Quality reporting is happening in more and more segments of the Technology industry and it will
continue to deepen and expand,” reports Adam Charlson, Managing Partner of Focus Search Partners,
LLC. “As a result, client companies have a right to expect the same level of measurement and
accountability from their executive search firm as these companies require of themselves.”
Since its inception, Focus Search Partners has been an innovator in linking a client’s business strategy to
the executive search process and outcome. And, that strategy has paid off! Focus Search Partners has
worked with many of the healthcare and technology industry’s most highly regarded, venture capital,
private equity firms, growth companies and global Fortune 100 businesses.
Focus Search Partners is proud to report its key quality measures and outcomes through December 31,
2016:

According to Adam, “Every executive search firm has operational performance data readily available that
defines their recruiting effectiveness.” However, most firms do not divulge this information to anyone
outside of the inner circle. And, the reasons are obvious. Releasing detailed information that details the
firm’s actual recruiting efficiency, 12-month post-placement retention rates and repeat client
information could adversely impact their firm’s image and sales process.
“Quality results provide a competitive advantage, and our results demonstrate our commitment to
remain one of the top performing executive search firm in terms of our ability to consistently deliver
high-caliber retained executive search services to Investors, Boards and Executives throughout the
Healthcare and Technology segments,” according to Mr. Frankenberg.
