Strategic intelligence

Deep domain knowledge informs our disciplined, analytical approach to human capital challenges. It sharpens our understanding of the ideal candidate and facilitates our ability to sell opportunities compellingly to the market. It also fuels an ability to assess the specific needs of our clients and act as effective agents on their behalf.

Finally, it provides us with the market intelligence to influence a diverse range of business strategies. We help some of the world's most dynamic companies to think bigger, work smarter and grow faster by providing them with compensation benchmarking, competitor analysis, market mapping, and introductions to key partners and sources of capital.

Convergence of talent

Sextant has evolved to reflect the convergence of the financial services marketplace, organizing our practices and structuring our incentives to encourage cross-fertilization of ideas among industry groups. Unlike most executive search firms, Sextant employs a subjective compensation system which insists upon - and rewards - teamwork. Our "converged" search execution model strives for the best alignment of interests within our team and with our clients, so that every assignment harnesses the expertise of all of our professionals, not just the relationship manager in charge of the mandate.

Superior access

Sextant harnesses the power of our dynamic community of market leaders and senior executives to provide clients with top talent and access to the most current and relevant information in the business. Our clients and candidates can, in turn, realize the value of this community through ongoing peer-to-peer dialogue and information exchange with experts in their industries.

Big firm resources, boutique firm service

Sextant's partnership approach and nimble execution model ensure that we bring to bear all available resources for every assignment, providing high-touch, high-quality service customized to our clients' needs. By limiting the number of clients we serve, Sextant minimizes blocking restrictions and offers clients access to a wider candidate pool than our big-firm competitors.
