Our Goal is Your Goal.

To Search Out The Best.

We have a particular commitment to working with growth companies, public and private, because we are convinced that great people and strategic boards offer a powerful advantage that can spell the difference between success and failure. The key is recruiting precisely to an organization's needs, to its strategy.

In addition to a long established board practice, SSA conducts an ongoing series of polls on board practices, most recently in cooperation with Management Action Programs (MAP) and the Society of CPAs. SSA founded and spearheads an ongoing series of strategic board symposiums in cooperation with Arthur Andersen, Snell & Wilmer, MAP and KFNN radio.

Susan Shultz, president of SSA and author of "The Board Book," is a recognized executive search expert in the area of governance, speaking and writing on the competitive advantages of strategic boards. SSA is a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors.

Our goal is your goal. To search out the best,
because, above all, that's what counts. Management. People. Boards of Directors. Excellence. To compete today, risks must be narrowed. Mistakes can be fatal.

Our expertise is identifying, evaluating, and producing executive and professional talent for your organization. We help structure, strengthen, diversify and benchmark your board — public or privately owned — and we position your board as a powerful strategic advantage driving your success.

For your environment. For your future.
A good executive is hard to find. Because of the breadth of market competitiveness. And, because supply simply doesn't meet demand.

Increasingly, you must look outside your company for the experience, perspective and drive needed in a particular position.

In today's world, your human resources are too pivotal, business is too complicated, the stakes are too high to leave executive level hiring to chance. Premature disclosures, unnecessary turndowns, and costly mistakes are no longer affordable in today's keenly competitive world.

Cronyism, walk-ins and advertising campaigns produce only active job seekers who tend to be less successful than their upwardly mobile peers, who are not reading the want ads or surfing the Net. By definition, these passé methods attract only a slim minority of potential candidates.We offer you excellence.

We enable you to tap into the entire candidate universe.

Because search is our only business, our candidate pool is unlimited. We present candidates who are on their way up - achievers who are not available through other channels. Given the particular set of circumstances, the candidates we select from are the best qualified - period.
