Newcastle Associates

Newcastle Associates is a performance based, research driven search firm and an extension of the boutique executive search firm Mackenzie Eason and Associates. It was created in response to a growing client need for search capability extending past the executive level, and it focuses exclusively on securing the highest-level talent at manager to director levels. Its summary of the proposition is short: better model, better results.

The practice areas published on the site are healthcare, insurance and technology, and the firm maintains a dedicated diversity and inclusion section alongside pages for its executive team and its advisory board. Team members have cultivated extensive experience working with some of the most successful executive search firms in the country, with each team member averaging over ten years of experience and having recruited hundreds of mid to senior level executives throughout a wide variety of industries.

The methodology applies the proven strategies of traditional retained executive search to performance-based search, which is how the firm describes the novel approach it brings to the market. It calls itself research driven and highly focused, with a reach that goes well beyond the job boards and stale resumes it says many firms deliver. The approach is relationship based, and clients benefit from working with a single point of contact for each engagement, which the firm presents as part of how it consistently provides access to the highest-level talent, without exception.
