Finding the Best, Not the Available

You can rest assured that you are getting the best candidates and not just those available. We draw from a deep well of relationships in the healthcare, medical and life sciences communities. We are well recognized by both employers and employees and well respected for our integrity, diligence and discretion. A call from a Higgins-Group consultant is never intrusive or frivolous and that is why we are able to cultivate and maintain great relationships with our clients and top executive talent.

Delivering Top Candidates is No Accident

Equal parts nature and nurture. We are, first and foremost, people with an aptitude for people. Our ability to clearly see, hear and assess people is both a natural talent and a honed skill. Every Higgins-Group search consultant is armed with a proven process, top research tools, and lengthy industry experience, but most of all it is their talent for understanding client needs and candidate aspirations on a gut level that leads to ultimate long-term success.

They Come and Seldom Go

We’ve noticed a very nice similarity between our clients and our candidates. They both seem to stick around for a good long time. With 98% placement retention of 3 years or more and 99% client retention and referrals, our numbers speak to our overwhelming success delivering for our clients and our candidates.

It’s About Quality, Not Quantity

You are only looking to fill that one important position. We know you don’t need or want a pile of “maybe” candidates thrown at you. Our process is designed to deliver only top-quality, well-suited candidates. Check out our process and process diagram to see how we work.
