BLNelson Group LLC is unique by design. How many Executive Search Firms are lead by former senior executives from Fortune 500 companies? We are. We have hired, fired, promoted, lead, coached, celebrated, consoled, and provided advice to talent our entire careers. We are now using that knowledge, lessons learned, and our professionalism to bring a new dimension to Executive Search. We operate with a level of experience and professionalism not found by nearly all executive search firms.Our clients only receive the very best candidates who fit their job descriptions and the hiring manager's criteria. We don't throw a resume over the "wall" and hope it sticks. We professionally evaluate our candidates and only provide those that we would hire ourselves if we were in our client's shoes. We will not ask for a resume until we are certain that our potential candidate is a hire-able candidate. Our clients hire us for our expertise, not our ability to generate resumes.We use proprietary algorithms to find the population of candidates that fit our client's specifications and requirements. Nearly all are in the Passive Candidate population that is not seeking a new job. We then present our client's opportunity and look for the Very Best Talent.It's simple but complex. We handle complex. You experience simple.

SRA-Inflection Point was a proud member of the 9th largest Executive Search Company; Sanford Rose Associates International.We used state-of-the art search practices to place the right people in the right positions. So how are we different; science and culture. We use a scientific placement process to maximize our ability to put people in positions where they can excel. A resume + an interview is only 20-25% effective. Adding our scientific placement process with a cultural fit and we can achieve an 80% effectiveness. Then, we add a 12-month guarantee of replacement for the 20% that the process is not able to uncover.
