The HeadHunters NW PRINCIPLES

Inspired by the elite Special Operations Forces philosophy, we've integrated these time-tested principles into the core of our executive search practice. This distinctive approach fundamentally differentiates HeadHunters NW in the talent acquisition landscape.

We don't merely fill positions—we strategically train, advise, and partner with our clients in succession planning, leadership acquisition, organizational strategy, and achievement of critical objectives. These foundational truths guide our methodology and maintain our unwavering commitment to serving the industries we represent with distinction.

Our principles ensure we deliver not just candidates, but transformational leaders who create lasting impact.

  • Principle #1: Humans are more important than closing any recruitment

    A win-win is critical for our client companies to exceed their goals. When we prioritize humans over filling a job, we all win.

  • Principle #2: Quality is better than quantity

    We focus on quality every single day. Our role is to provide you with quality people who can help you meet your goals. We produce top-quality people, or we send no one.

  • Principle #3: HHNW cannot be mass-produced

    Our team at HeadHunters NW is dedicated to studying, training, and mastering our craft every single day. Our tenacity and results are unmatched, giving you the confidence that we can deliver.

  • Principle #4: Expertise Is Crucial

    Building on over 20 years of experience gives us the expertise to help you with your emergency.  The knowledge we bring cannot be gained early on in this specialty.

  • Principle #5: Most recruitments require non-HHNW support

    We are the firm to call when there is no margin for error.  When the role you need to be filled is critical, you contact us.  We are your special forces team to secure the talent you need.
