World Class Board Placement
ESGI Potomac Recruiting helps public companies identify and attract qualified candidates to serve on their boards.
Today’s business climate has placed a spotlight on company boards, increasing demands that boards reflect the world today. The right board can provide companies with a broad business perspective and bring a wider network of community and business support.
ESGI Potomac Recruiting recognizes the difficulty companies have in attracting qualified experienced directors to their boards. Too often, companies focus their searches narrowly.
Conversely, ESGI Potomac Recruiting has built a national and international network of qualified executives who are certified and bring considerable knowledge and experience to company boards.
ESGI Potomac Recruiting also recognizes that the most effective board participants have both time for and interest in serving. We do not recommend overextended directors. We focus instead on attracting dynamic participants who can contribute directly to a company’s strategy.
