Our executive search practice is dedicated to matching the right talent with the right companies. Founded in 1982, with highly experienced and certified professionals, we focus on relationship recruiting and the development and maintenance of active partnerships with our clients. That is, we focus on an individual’s personality and why he or she will be a productive and successful employee.

Murgence offers an exclusive capability to access a global network to recruit successful entrepreneurial executives throughout the United States, Europe and Asia/Pacific.

We focus on relationship building and the development of partnerships with our clients. Our firm thrives on bringing the best executive talent to both mature and emerging companies in an efficient and effective manner. We become an extension of our clients and a voice in the marketplace, as we partner along the way to attracting the best talent. Those with whom we are aligned are aware that they will maintain a competitive edge by recruiting intelligent, sophisticated, proactive people who are technically sound, globally astute and operationally agile.

We stay current on industry trends and can offer current advice on recruiting processes, leadership evolution and competitive compensation packages. Our team is skilled at mediation and negotiation. We prevent “crossed wires” with direct, accurate communication and provide realistic expectations.

We provide access to the best leadership talent in the “qualified universe”. We strive for continual improvement in our processes and in our level of service. Our ultimate goal is to give our clients a competitive advantage and meet their expectations.

We specialize in CEO, CFO, Board Member, Executive Management and Senior-level searches for publicly held as well as venture-backed and private-equity companies. We are specialists in specific industries so we can emphasize our client differentiating factors.

Our IC design division focus is in Senior-level and Executive Management searches directly targeting RFIC, Analog IC and Mixed-Signal IC Engineering talent in the Power, Consumer, Wireless, Storage, Communication and Audio electronics arena. Our Semiconductor Clients vary from Fortune 100 companies moving in new directions to privately held companies re-positioning themselves for IPO or acquisition.

We also excel at discovering and presenting optimal business opportunities to diverse investors. This approach allows our clients to attract the investors, Board members and the executive team essential for the company’s growth and success.

In today’s business environment you can have everything sound: corporate strategy, solid financial controls, good product mix, effective marketing, low cost structure—and still fail to achieve satisfactory results. The quality of management is the single most important variable affecting the success of your organization. Our high caliber Executive Search partners attract and recruit leadership talent on three continents to help realize the potential of our clients’ businesses.

Our Executive Recruiting Services include:

• International reach for executives through our Search partners in Europe and Asia.
• Broad Domain and Cross-Industry knowledge, with specific strengths in Semiconductor, Display, CleanTech, Entertainment, Software, Life Sciences and Wireless, and Finance.
• A focused, customized and timely approach to bringing world class executives to your organization. This includes frank discussions on expectations as part of our process.
• Analysis of your existing executive team as well as Board evaluation and strengthening.
• Assisting the Board with the management structure and funding thru our partnership.

Recruiting board members that make the difference. Our challenge and specialty. Our clients realize their strength in the marketplace is directly proportional to the caliber of their board. Our thorough approach facilitates an understanding of key business goals, objectives and challenges of clients who are moving forward and insist on strong board leadership.

Often new and existing boards seek to recruit in new board members with specific domain knowledge, industry relationships and geopolitical contacts to create a broader perspective and traction. Investors as board members are usually linked to a funding strategy. It is imperative, however, to attract the optimal investor board in addition to securing the desired funding.

We enjoy competitive advantages in three key areas:

• Our search cycle times are shorter than most firms. This allows us to focus on an elite group of clients with a laser, rather than shotgun, approach to executive search.
• We have a staff that is unmatched in the industry. The breadth and depth of our professional networks allows us to identify, and recruit, the very best talent.
• Finally, we believe that the executive search business is more value-driven than price-sensitive. Our focus is ensuring that our clients get real value from our relationship. Our success has been made evident by the number of clients who refer us to other companies. More than just recruiters, we participate as catalysts in the company's growth cycle. We are known as results-oriented, progressive, professional and accomplished consultants. Our experience and confidence also allow us to engage both our clients and candidates in a process that is exciting, enjoyable, and of value.

The big key to our success is the structure of the organization. There is only one link between a client and the candidate - the Murgence consultant. This person single-handedly identifies, screens, and refers candidates to the client, based on the specific requirements, qualifications and personality appropriate for the position. We have found large bureaucracies counterproductive.

Our emphasis is on recruiting talented individuals who possess the experience, technical expertise, and most importantly, personality traits that will blend smoothly with your organizational style. We understand that hiring the wrong person is costly - even if he or she has the appropriate technical skills. Our job is to find those rare individuals who will have the most impact on your company's success.
