## MEET BSG
We at BSG believe that great businesses are run on people. Talent is the lifeblood of business. And almost all of our clients have a business context that requires what we call the “builder-leader” profile.
We do business. We KNOW business, not just headhunting. We believe that to do really effective search you need to get business and headhunting. This isn’t just generic business that many search industry generalists espouse. Rather, it’s industry specific knowledge—of vertical industry sectors like SaaS software, the for-profit education industry sector, healthcare technology, business process-outsourcing sector, and the manufacturing and retail sectors. These are just some of the industry verticals in which we claim deep contextual business knowledge.
We do relationships. Rather than one search wonders that feel more like one night stands, we want to be your trusted talent adviser and not an occasional supplier. And through these relationships we build a deep understanding of what success looks like in your business, and which candidates both will and will not be accretive to your business and its goals.

### WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Alex Erhart
Partner, Trinity Capital Investments
“BSG filled the CEO position with an excellent candidate in an extremely short time period, and more important, this candidate turned out to be a world class CEO with extreme market knowledge and experience that was unique to our company."
Art Papas
CEO, Bullhorn
“BSG spends much more time with candidates upfront and provides a much more detailed overview of a candidate's career, strengths, weaknesses, etc. This is a huge load off of me and my time.  Also, the sell-side video increases the “sell-through” of more candidates into the process, into consideration, into being interested.  Candidates reference this all the time when interviewing with me as big driver for them to consider our company.”
Scott Griffith
CEO, Zipcar
"This is another confirmation that you really have your client's interests at heart. If I haven't said it lately, I'm a fan of yours - you've done really well for us."
Paul Schroeder
CEO, ILSC
"*The tools that BSG used helped them understand our culture.  No other search firms we talked to used them.  Also, BSG has a unique process that allowed us to get to know the candidates more quickly, a very efficient way to do so. BSG was very professional, we felt we were in good hands. They sourced a lot of good candidates relatively quickly."*
Jeffrey R. Seul
Partner, Holland & Knight LLP
“BSG gets the job done quickly and well every time.  Whatever other recruiters may claim about their proprietary methods, most just seem to throw spaghetti (candidate CVs) at a client to see if anything sticks.  BSG has developed a disciplined, analytical process for clarifying client needs, identifying and pre-qualifying candidates, getting candidates informed and genuinely interested in the opportunity, and efficiently moving the right deal to closure.  The result is a process that's smooth, predictable and swift for the client and candidates, and a new hire who is the right person in the right role, and so likely to succeed.”
