Business as usual for Greatpeople

CLIENTS

With funding more difficult to raise and only companies of higher caliber being funded, each company needs best of breed talent to succeed, minimize risk of failure and to maximize their valuation.

Minimize Risk
Venture capitalists are more particular in choosing the companies they invest in than ever before. So are star candidates. They are looking to join a team of stars to minimize their own risk, as well.

Agreed. There is a lot more talent available today and stars
previously not interested in leaving their companies because of security and opportunity, are now looking. But they are as particular today as the VCs are about the opportunities they are willing to seriously consider.

Building a team is easier today. Building a team of star talent is more difficult than ever and absolutely essential to succeed in today's market.

Business as Usual
This is business as usual for Greatpeople. We have made a practice of building companies with hard to find top tier talent. Having worked with some of the most successful companies of the last decade, we have placed the very best talent at the very best companies for years.

Over 85% of the high demand candidates we have placed were not interested in leaving their companies when we initially contacted them. A combination of our reputation and track record and the quality of the opportunity we presented excited their interest.

A Successful Partner
Because we take an equity stake in each client we partner with, candidates know that we believe in the long-term success in our clients. We don't just place anybody anywhere. Our clients' have proved this consistently to the candidates we represent. They know through experience the opportunity we present to them has a greater chance of being successful.

Some of our clients are in areas of enterprise, security,
infrastructure, edge networking, peer to peer, etc. Several are still in stealth mode. And some we cannot mention, like one of the world's leading recruiting companies who retained us to strengthen their executive management team.
