Fields of Focus

We were engaged due to the relationship and track record we had with a former client who had become president of this new organization. Originally, he was interested in finding a new Vice President for National Sales. By the end of our project, we had delivered significantly more:

• Successfully completed search and placement within allotted time frame
• Placed seven sales managers around the country, building an entire sales team
• Found and placed the new corporate CFO
• Demonstrated our ability to ramp up in new categories quickly and effectively
• Established a new network and database of key executives in this corporate sector

Real estate is one of Arthur Diamond's specialties, and this client has been with us for 20 years. For this organization, we searched for and filled an entire Commercial Property Management Team.

Our new hires have gone on to receive promotions within the organization, effectively growing with their company. As these core managers have taken on new responsibilities, we have helped them build their various departments.

In addition to growing staff, we have consulted with this group to improve employee performance, enhance depth of talent, and author a tailored succession plan — also reducing attrition rates and staff turnover.

Arthur Diamond was engaged to find a new Executive Director for an organization that had experienced three EDs in five years and urgently needed leadership and stability. The position had been vacant for four months before we were brought in. We quickly:

• Assessed the organization's needs and developed a tailored job description
• Worked collaboratively with the Board of Directors' Search Committee
• Completed the search and filled the position within the allotted time frame
• ED remained in place five years later, improving finances and service delivery

This association was one of our first clients. We had previously identified and placed their Director of Human Resources, who was now retiring. We met with their Executive Director to reconnect with their specific needs, develop a job description, and bring candidates to replace the outgoing HR Director we had originally identified.

"It is more the rule than the exception for Arthur Diamond to be called back for new searches by organizations we've worked with in the past — even when the past was in a different decade."

A second-generation family business approached Arthur Diamond seeking a seasoned Chief Operating Officer — someone who could respect the company's heritage and culture while bringing the professional management depth needed for the next chapter of growth.

• Identified COO candidates with credentials and genuine respect for family-owned culture
• Managed a sensitive search with heightened confidentiality and family-first discretion
• Facilitated a leadership transition respected by the founders, staff, and key clients

A large university in a major metropolitan area decided to bring its facilities management and maintenance functions in-house — a decision requiring two new senior hires: a Director of Facilities and a Manager of Facilities Operations.

Arthur Diamond assisted the search committee — which included the Dean — to determine scope and key responsibilities. We guided university leadership through the entire search process and placed two outstanding professionals.
