About Us
Executive Dynamics is a national search and recruitment firm specializing in identifying and recruiting sales and marketing talent for key positions in the consumer package industry. Our objective is to match Top Quality Talent with Progressive Companies that offer people the opportunity to maximize their career potential.
We accurately assess candidates' core competencies due to our recruiters' extensive background in the consumer package goods industry. We forge a partnership with our clients, which stresses assistance beyond the standard recruiting function. We provide national coverage with an extensive database of consumer package goods candidates while operating with the utmost in confidentiality and integrity.
Diversity
Our firm is minority owned. Richard Leon, Founder and President of Executive Dynamics Search is 100% Hispanic descent.
Rick has made considerable effort to recruit and develop a group of top minority and female candidates. As a minority who participated and taught training and diversity issues at Procter & Gamble, he has been able to successfully penetrate and understand the special needs of both of these groups.
For any assignment we are given, we emphasize talent first regardless of race or gender, but we try to obtain the greatest long-term value for our services by providing you with top minority and/or female candidates.
Back to topWhat We Offer
We take pride in our organization's emphasis on providing you with superior service. We regularly monitor the "hit rate" of candidates interviewed versus number of candidates hired. We provide annual business reviews that review this information with each of our key clients.
We operate philosophically as if we are the client company. Our standards are very simple - we don't represent any firm for whom we would not work, and we don't represent candidates we would not hire to work for us.
We follow-up consistently with both the client and hired candidate to ensure we've made the right match.
On numerous occasions we have alerted our client companies that a competing candidate (referred internally or through another recruiter) was the best person for the job. In addition, a few of our clients routinely ask our assessment of candidates they sourced elsewhere.
Our range of services include:
- Review client needs & specific candidate qualifications by individual search
- Establish a pool of qualified candidates that fit client specifications
- Interview and select top 3-5 candidates
- Reference check candidates
- Refer final candidates for initial interviews (usually 2 or 3)
- Monitor interview process and communications for client and candidates
- Help manage job offer as client desires
- Follow-up 2-3 months later with client and hired candidate to ensure successful placement
- Provide annual business reviews for our largest clients

EDS Difference
CLIENT PRIDE - We are dedicated to executing an efficient and precise recruiting process that ensures the executives our clients need. We exclusively represent companies for whom we would work for. We demonstrate passion and knowledge about your company and the industry, which ignites interest and gives us an edge in our candidates’ eyes.
RESULTS - We have proven our ability to find top talent on a consistent basis throughout the country. For example, of the total candidates Coca-Cola has interviewed, 79% are selected for final interviews. Our experience has translated into 129 placements for Coca-Cola over the past 8 years. We have produced similar results with our key clients.
EXPERIENCE - Our entire recruiting team has previously worked for premier companies such as Procter & Gamble, Pillsbury, Schering Plough, and General Mills. Together we have over 100 years combined experience in recruiting and selecting talent. We utilize the experiential interview technique to evaluate talent based on the belief that past performance is the best prediction of future success.
INTEGRITY - We are committed to conduct every search with personal and professional integrity. We don’t compromise our standards. We believe our reputation is among one of our most valuable assets.
VALUE - We have a long term focus on being more than just recruiters. We have provided competitive information, project assistance, and references on candidates that we did not represent. We make every effort to provide whatever assistance is necessary for clients and candidates alike.
LONG TERM APPROACH - In assessing candidates’ talent, we sometimes recommend they stay with their current company to pick-up essential skills that will make them more valuable in the future. The credibility we build with these candidates pays dividends in the future.
DIVERSITY - As a minority owned business enterprise, we have a strong commitment to diversity recruiting. We have statistically outperformed the industry in our ability to source and place top diversity talent. We produce superior services and better ideas by encouraging collaboration and bringing in different talents and experiences.
FLEXIBILITY - Since by design we service a limited number of clients, we are not prohibited from recruiting the employees of numerous companies as are the larger retained firms.
FOLLOW-UP - We communicate frequently to ensure that we maximize results and minimize surprises and problems. Consistent communication and attention to detail will guarantee that both clients and candidates can trust our firm.
PARTNERSHIP - We operate as if we are an integral part of our clients’ organization. We provide feedback to our clients about employee morale, industry trends, and issues important to their business.
SUMMARY - We believe Executive Dynamics is the very best Executive Search firm your company could select as a preferred supplier. Based on our past performance and our commitment to helping companies realize their goals, we are confident we can continue to add significant value to your business.

We have a strong reputation in the industry-having been appointed a Preferred Provider by some of the most prestigious companies in consumer packaged goods, sporting goods and entertainment. Our Company combines 100 years of experience in executive recruiting for sales and marketing management.
During the past 22 years, we have placed over 1,200 candidates in both headquarter and field positions throughout the United States as well as internationally.
Executive Dynamics has a unique vertical relationship with our clients. We place the senior team in organizations and then build the infrastructure underneath them, which allows us to have a deeper understanding of our clients.
Back to topWhat We Believe
We believe in taking our relationships with both candidates and clients to a different level. We understand the huge decision people make in deciding which company for whom they would like to work. We think this decision should be both a professional and personal one.
A deep partnership with both our candidates and clients gives us the opportunity to make that seamless match. We will always do what is in the best interest of candidates and clients on a long-term basis.
We are only interested in representing companies and candidates that understand true partnership. We are not interested in people that believe recruiting and selection is a transactional relationship. This can only be achieved by candidly and openly discussing every issue promptly and truthfully.
Our mission is to match 'A' players with 'A' companies.
