WHY DID WE BUILD THIS PLATFORM?

  • To provide companies with the ability to directly, and continuously, identify a diversified group of (a) highly qualified directors, who are free of conflicts, and (b) senior executives, so companies may field the most competitive team.
  • To decouple the quality of the search solution from the experience level of the search consultant and his/her research team.
  • The search process is a repeatable model, with participants that change every day. The Platform identifies every candidate who meets a Subscriber's search criteria, every time, on demand. The platform is agnostic with respect to candidate identification; no candidate is ever held back or omitted because of "off-limits." Our data, from S&P Global, and a Subscriber's searches are updated nightly so search for directors and senior executives is now a continuous process.

    TWO LEVELS OF DATA

    COMPLEX DATA MANAGEMENT

    HUMAN DATA

    Initially identical to Computer Data until "touched" through the Member Portal with proprietary data added by each Member (ethnicity, language abilities, age, geographic preferences, board preferences, work history, reporting relationships, LinkedIn URL, Skills, Knowledge, Experience, etc.) as each Member "perfects" his or her Board profile.

    COMPUTER DATA

    Brought in nightly through the Data Importer with records automatically updated unless "touched" through the Member Portal.

    The Director Search Platform provides the insight into the most important people in the world.
