Why ESS?

The daily demands of running a business mean that many human resources departments (if any) are lean, and too many people can’t allocate the time necessary to source the best candidates for their open roles and vet them thoroughly, from receiving and screening resumes, to conducting interviews and speaking with references. Algorithms and inboxes can receive resumes from job postings indefinitely, but nothing beats a human recruiter diving deep with your company and your future employee. It’s important to screen the potential people coming on board at your company properly, and no one does this better than Executive Search Simplified.

When it comes to candidates and clients, ESS learns what makes you or your company tick, what you’re looking for, and what sets you apart from the rest. ESS asks the right questions of candidates to get the answers you need and selects the candidates whose experience and dreams align with your company’s vision and short and long-term goals. ESS is instrumental in forming relationships with individuals who might not be actively job searching, but could be ready for a move to the right role at the right company.

At the end of the day, ESS understands that you need not only the right qualified person with the relevant professional experience, but also the best fit for your company’s culture to ensure success. ESS wants both client and candidate to prosper together for years to come.

    — Head of global photography studio

  • “Ashley is a great matchmaker. There's what employers think they want, and what they actually need—and she'll help you find the person you need. She's insightful and practical—her years of experience give her great insight into how the right person can make your life and/or your business run more smoothly. Not only did she match me with a great position that fit my needs (I stayed and helped to grow the company I was placed in for 6+ years), but also she’s the first person I tell people to reach out to it if they are looking to hire someone for their business.”

    — Uma

  • “Sometimes you need someone who will look at what you have done and guide you on where you should go. Ashley is definitely that person. Along with revamping my resume to more accurately reflect my experience, she also helped me to highlight skills I didn't realize were living in the work I had already done. When it came to finding the right fit, Ashley took the time to share different opportunities, outlining the how and why she had come to those decisions. Her kindness and support through the process was second to none. I went on to spend several brilliant years in the role she placed me in, and I am always thankful to Ashley for believing in me first.”

  • “Ashley's talents surpass merely recruitment. She is also a coach and mentor who will champion you from start to finish. She is an expert networker with a wealth of valuable contacts. In placing me in my new role, she revised and helped me to curate an impressive resume, prepared me for my interviews, and even went so far as to check-in with me post-placement to ensure I was feeling happy and secure. I would strongly recommend her to anyone!”
