The Leaders Lab has grown into a premiere recruiting agency by maintaining the same, simple mission.As with any new company, there were plenty of late-night brainstorming sessions, plenty of false starts, plenty of missteps. But from the beginning, there was an understanding that we needed to be different than the typical, faceless headhunter.After spending over twenty years as a senior-level leader in operations and business-to-business sales, The Leaders LAB President and Founder, Ken Eslick, saw that there was a niche to fill in the recruiting world. "I had hired countless recruiters throughout my career and always felt dissatisfied," Ken explained. "No one ever took the time to really understand what I was looking for, to talk with me and truly understand my needs. It seemed like the recruiters I worked with just threw as much at me as possible and hoped something would stick, which rarely happened."It's a timeless philosophy, but one that a surprising few have decided to adopt in the recruiting industry: quality over quantity. The Leaders LAB was born from the simple idea that recruiters should understand the jobs they are looking to fill, inside and out. By doing so, both the potential candidate and employer will benefit: candidates aren't being contacted about a job that is a poor match for their resume, and employers are interviewing better-qualified, excited candidates who have already been thoroughly vetted by The Leaders LAB before being sent in for consideration.We focus on:C - Suite Leaders Placements.Senior Leadership Team Placements.Private Equity & VC Transition & Placements.Fractional & Short Term/Exit Placements.
