Info

JamesDruryPartners was founded in 2001. It has emerged as the most senior level boutique executive search firm in the U.S. today. Founded by Jim Drury, former Vice Chairman of a global firm, bringing over 25 years of experience, our firm specializes in the recruitment of CEO's, board directors and the executives who report to them - in all industries. A trademark of our work is the signature capability to assemble a slate of candidates for each of our assignments that is well above the norm for the search industry - made up almost entirely of A-players. Our clients frequently have difficulty making a choice of one superb candidate over another, and often try to bring more than one into their executive ranks. The absence of significant client conflicts and candidate blockages that are the rule in larger firms is a powerful advantage. Geographically, our practice is international in scope, encompassing the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. While our office is headquartered in Chicago, only 20% of our clients are. The corporate clients we have served reside in such widely varied locations as New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas, California, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Singapore. Since our founding, of the more than 100 executive search assignments undertaken, we have successfully completed - with a JamesDruryPartners found placement - 95% of them, as compared to 75%, the industry norm. Our time to search completion averages three months, as compared to six months, the industry average. One of the primary keys to our success, as a "high performance firm", is that we are unburdened by the bureaucracy, red tape and politics that plague almost all large businesses. We have the luxury of being in a highly envied position. All we do, all day long - from the moment we walk in, until the moment we walk out - is work on solving our clients' problems. Client needs are our only concern.
