In Brief
MARKET WATCH: WHY SHOULD I MOVE?
One of the hallmarks of Tuft executive searches is to seek out respected,
top-level executives before they put themselves on the market.   

What convinces a happily employed professional to make a switch? The obvious motivators are a better title, bigger salary, the chance to relocate.
But other catalysts for change can sometimes be far more persuasive. Here are more motivators we’re seeing that can help to attract the top professionals you need:
  • A positive organizational culture that promotes dialogue, encourages innovation, and thrives on respect and collegiality. With plenty of toxic organizations, an outstanding work environment can be a top advantage.    
  • A genuine commitment organization-wide to professional development through education, memberships, conference attendance, and more.
  • A willingness to offer incentives such as flexible work schedules and time off to fulfill personal and family duties and promote work-life balance.
  • A focused mission and clear vision that resonates with an individual’s values and interests and inspires a new professional commitment.
A VALUED PARTNERSHIP
Over the years, Tuft has collaborated on selected projects with Washington, DC-based Association Strategies, Inc., which is led by CEO Pamela Kaul.
For instance, we are currently partnering on the search for a new Executive Director for the American College of Preventive Medicine, Washington, DC.

Because we have valued our collaborations with ASI, we are pursuing even more opportunities where we can combine our talents, resources, and contacts to work with a range of clients.

Our two firms will continue to operate independently with our own clients in our areas of specialization. But we'll also take on opportunities to collaborate on new engagements to provide even more organizations with services ranging from executive search to board consulting. 

We invite you to learn more about the Tuft-ASI partnership: Call us at 312.642.8889 or use our  Request for Proposal online form.
