Client Comments

"I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to Rick Leon, President of Executive Dynamics, a search firm based in San Diego County, that has handled all of my search work over the past ten years, including placing over 40 people within Vivendi Universal Games. He has brought me all of our three Regional Vice Presidents, numerous National Account Managers, and the majority of our Trade Marketing and Category Management teams."

Executive Dynamics Advantage

As an executive recruiting firm solely devoted to finding and developing superior candidates, we offer you efficiencies and cost effectiveness that may not be possible in your current organization.

• Executive Dynamics Search has the ability to reach candidates that are typically outside the reach of your own recruiting capabilities.
• We can tap into the passive candidate that is not looking on search engines for positions, and may not be looking for a position at all. We pursue a targeted search for the right person to fill your needs, not just someone who happens to be available or looking at the time. In essence, we cast a wider net to find dynamic and strategic leaders to fill your higher management needs.
• We have the advantage of seeing the process of hiring objectively as an outside observer, giving a fresh perspective on the entire process. We can see the bigger picture without having the functional, political, or organizational entanglements that inhibit the goal of mapping HR/Staffing strategy to the overall corporate strategic goals.
