Since founding Open Technologies in 1992, I've been helping companies hire senior executives who have demonstrated their ability to leverage technology to build profitable businesses.

Open Technologies' clients include:

  • Fortune 500 Corporations

Your time is the one irreplaceable commodity. Minimizing its waste is how we earn our fees.

Give me a call today to discuss how I can help you hire a sophisticated, disciplined executive who can leverage technology successfully.

Clarifying Job
Define the position clearly before recruiting for it
Prioritize the objectives and experience qualifications for the position
What are the desired outcomes?
What are skills and experience necessary for superior candidates?

Designing the Message
Craft the strategic message which will convey to candidates what's special about your company and this opportunity.

Recruiting the Right People
We use our national database of contacts and extensive web research to pinpoint the right pool of potential candidates. We talk to them, and communicate the excitement of what you are seeking to build.

Qualifying Candidates
We take a "Sharpshooter" approach, bringing to the table a finely honed "short list" of candidates whose experience, interests, availability, and career plans are a fit for the position.

Interviewing
You and your team interview the candidates giving us feedback as to fit. If we are not hitting the bull's eye, we will rapidly adjust based on your feedback.

Reference and Credential Checking
Clients often ask: “How do you know a candidate was the person who made things happen, as opposed to just being there when they happened?”

Think of it like an annual report, where the corporation is assessed by analyzing the balance sheet, income statement, cash flows, and the notes in small print.

In assessing candidates, we also have a multi-dimensional model for accessing complexity: the opinion of the individual who referred the candidate, our formal assessment as to fit, our gut reaction based on a career of recruiting and assessing technology executives, your opinion and that of your executive team, and the reference and credential checking process we meticulously follow.

Selection, Offer, and Acceptance
Because we’ve been asking the tough qualifying questions at every stage of the hiring process, picking the right candidates to make offers to gets easier, and turn-downed offers are the exception. Negotiating, of course, comes with the territory.
