For employers

Search with judgment. Hire with conviction.

Choose a global platform when you need global scale. Call Emerald when the search is specialized, the market is narrow, and you want a small number of candidates who are actually worth interviewing. More than 80% of tracked placements remain with the firms where Emerald placed them.

How we work

Define

A job description is what was written down. The intake is what the team actually needs: outcomes, must-haves, and what will make the hire stay.

Map

Emerald maps the real pool, applies the must-haves, finds likely movers, and asks the trusted network. Proprietary AI widens the map. A recruiter decides who is worth calling.

Calibrate

You get a focused slate, with motivation and compensation, and a straight answer when the market says the search is unrealistic.

Close

Interviews, offers, and the last-mile details stay with the search partner. The work is not done when a résumé is sent.

The client we work best with

Emerald’s best client is defined by behavior, not by a logo or an asset number. The strong searches have a real process, specific feedback, candidates moved promptly, and a willingness to hear market commentary when the specification is unrealistic.

A recruiting firm cannot permanently compensate for a broken hiring process. Five interviewers who want five different people, a compensation number the pool will not accept, or feedback that disappears will stop being a sourcing problem.
