AdvocateFirst Executive Search

AdvocateFirst Executive Search is an executive search firm that says it entered the industry so that professionals could work with an advocate rather than someone who shuffles a resume hoping for a match. It operates as AdvocateFirst Executive Search LLC and organises its work under two headings, Finance and Accounting, and Sales, Products and Operations.

The firm describes its method as a deep discovery centred on the outcomes a role requires, not just a collection of experience. It says it runs searches in a way similar to how it fulfils interim assignments, relying on market knowledge, networking and an outcomes based approach instead of matching resumes to job descriptions.

AdvocateFirst says it represents both clients and candidates. It names the common traits of the candidates it represents as critical reasoning, analytical thinking, intellectual curiosity and adaptability. It sets out its approach as three pillars: time to fill, quality and fit, and the role of the intermediary.
