Why Choose Us?
Specifically when in competition with the other big blue-chip search firms, many clients buy in to our partner-delivered model.
Partners at Savannah conduct the work rather than oversee it and as such, are fully involved in the searches we run. The partner is at the end of the phone 24/7, not one-step removed meaning there is no dilution in terms of quality of work.
As a mid-size firm, we’re more agile, tailored and personal in our approach. We believe this to be a powerful combination. We will push and challenge when needed, but we will listen too.
