What We Do $100 Bills

Cook & Company was formed to assist the top managements of a select group of companies to obtain competitive advantage in what McKinsey & Company aptly describes as "the war for talent." Our goal is to partner with a world class group of consumer-driven businesses in building shareholder value from a human capital perspective. The firm's mission is to win this war for our clients by:

   
Providing the highest quality of executive search consulting and advisory services in the human capital field
   
Being exceptionally creative in identifying and recruiting "best athletes" as well as highly accurate in evaluating their goodness-of-fit with client organizations
   
Broadly pursuing the best talent without the "off-limits" and "candidate reservations" constraints of larger firms
   
Treating candidates with the utmost respect, courtesy and confidentiality
   
Remaining agile, flexible and squarely focused on solving our clients' problems
   
Acting in our clients' best interests including, by firm policy, never "parallel-processing" a candidate with two or more clients simultaneously
   
Turning down assignments where we do not believe we would add value
   
Always telling the truth as we see it
     
Since Cook & Company was founded in January of 2000, we have successfully completed 100% of the searches we have been engaged to conduct and, in response to our Search Quality Survey, clients have consistently rated the quality of our work at the highest possible level. To date, 95% of our clients have asked us to undertake additional assignments for them, resulting in an unusually high proportion of repeat business for the firm.
