How We Are Different
In a world of choices, how does DSC stand out from all the other executive search firms?
1: Top Service
At DSC, our mission is to provide the top 1% of passive sales leadership talent at the VP and C-level in the SaaS & IT Services industries.
We strive to do so by providing:
High-touch, boutique service
It is critical for us to provide top-tier service from inception to completion of any executive search we take on. For this reason, while we have a great team and resources involved in any given search, our Founder David Kant personally manages the entire process and speaks with and endorses every candidate prior to submitting to the client. Your search doesn’t get handed off to a Junior Associate as is common practice with larger firms, so you can trust your search is in good hands at DSC.
Industry-leading recruiting cycle
DSC averages 6-8 weeks against the industry standard of 8-12 weeks. When it comes to hiring, speed is critical as time kills deals in the competitive war for talent every employer faces. We’re very results-driven and motivated to get your search done as quickly as possible, while maintaining a high level of quality and attention to detail.
Leading Replacement Guarantee
Guarantee of 18 months for Manager and Director level and 24 months for VP and C-level. Most executive search firms provide replacement guarantees up to 12 months, but we give an extra cushion to ensure you really have a long-term fit and peace of mind for the investment you are making.
Best Value-to-Service
Most retained executive search firms bill based off total compensation, including bonus, commissions, equity, etc. We bill based on the candidate’s first year’s guaranteed compensation (i.e. Base Salary) and ensure we’re overdelivering what we promise along the way.
2: Client First
DSC aims at creating clients for life and take pride in that over 50% of our business each year comes from repeat clients. That is why we ensure we only take on searches we are 100% confident we can fill, and tailor our process to each client’s specific needs.
3: Transparency
As a boutique executive search firm, DSC places a huge emphasis on maintaining excellent communication and transparency on the search with you at all times:
Weekly or bi-weekly status calls
Updates provided immediately as they arise
Return all calls and emails within 24 hours (often within 1-2 hours)
