Executive Search
A Strong and Effective Partner
Successful outcomes in executive search derive from successful partnerships between the search firm and its clients. We are committed to walking alongside our clients every step of the way, adding unique value through our top-shelf combination of search experience, of-counsel partnerships, and industry connections.
In a rapidly changing employment landscape, QLK brings the ability to reach, draw in, and retain a diverse group of stakeholders in pursuit of a common vision; to remain ahead of trends and shifts in the marketplace and to pivot quickly when necessary; to bring a strategic, “out of the box” approach to problem-solving; and to inspire others to drive toward excellence in both quality and efficiency – these are key reasons that our clients recognize us as a strong, effective partner as they seek executive leaders.

Commitment to Diversity
As a firm, we are committed to – and take pride in – helping our clients build more diverse teams and inclusive cultures. Recent studies have shown that, although progress has been made, companies are still falling short of their potential when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). When new clients direct us to ensure that the slate of candidates we present to the search committee is “diverse,” we first seek to understand what DEI means to their organization on a variety of levels.
Industry Connections and Of Counsel Partnerships
As a result of its longevity and of the caliber of its team, QLK has developed long-term, trusted relationships with some of the nation’s leading health systems and healthcare services organizations. Our firm is differentiated in the market by its dyad model of partnering strong search professionals with healthcare sector CEOs and leaders, offering its clients real-world, experienced leadership counsel, consultation, and best practices in search. In addition to prior sector experience, these industry leaders are active members of national healthcare associations and organizations, able to leverage their own deep networks to connect with the broadest candidate pool, which includes senior leaders who are not actively in the market because they are successful in their current positions.
