Clients

Retained Executive Search is a Client-centered professional approach to recruiting. DLG utilizes a Ten-Step process designed to educate and inform our principals about each Client. This process insures structure and consistency are an integral part of every search engagement. Developing a comprehensive knowledge of the Client’s business model, corporate culture, and operating history significantly enhances DLG's ability to identify the best talent in a timely manner.

Our process is rooted in the extensive corporate management experiences of each DLG partner. With more than 40 years of direct management experience and 25 years combined search experience in financial services, we offer clients a unique understanding of key issues such as organizational dynamics, job content, compensation requirements and candidate supply/demand dynamics.
