We are culture specialists. We take the time to get to know the client from the inside and become an extension of the organization. We tailor the search to the client's needs. Most importantly, our search completion rate for all searches during the last twenty years is 96%, guaranteeing success.

- Position description
- Specific candidate recommendations
- Target company research lists (based upon personal interviews and evaluations)
- Strategy consultation on an on-going basis

- Organizational structure recommendations
- Psychological assessment (upon request)

- Assistance in candidate negotiations
We pride ourselves on our personal approach and attentiveness to the client company’s needs and expectations in finding the right employee. Meeting a company’s expectations requires a perceptive awareness of both the company’s and the candidate’s individual and professional style. We believe that the most successful results come from looking for and evaluating not only the person beyond the resume, but the company’s personality and corporate culture beyond the position as well.
We at Straube Associates believe that professionalism rests on personal qualities such as commitment and integrity. We combine our experience in operations, engineering, sales management and human resources management with our ability to form strong and trusting relationships with the people we serve. This approach enables us to find a person who will not only fill your position, but who will also enjoy working for your company and will flourish in your corporate environment.
Our search process begins with an in-depth meeting with you the client, in which we make a special effort to get to know your business, its mission and goals, your management style and your human resources strategy. We go beyond the job description and the educational and professional qualifications and ask you to describe the person you want—how that person should work, interrelate and fit into your organization and culture.
After discussing the assignment, we conduct a database search, penetrate target organizations, and then interview the most promising candidates. We rely on our professional assessment skills in fully evaluating candidates. When we feel confident that we have found qualified candidates, we arrange a meeting with you. If you are interested in the candidates, we then conduct reference checks, and when you are ready to present an offer, we help negotiate the compensation package.
Our involvement does not end when the candidate starts working. We maintain contact with both you and the candidate for at least a year to ensure complete satisfaction.
