Why Work With Us

Our proven approach to executive search is the right answer for many organizations. We want you to have a rewarding experience and successful hire. There are five key factors essential to achieving this outcome.

These include:

The way we develop the target list of prospective candidates.

Fresh, timely research for every project. Passive candidates are the goal!

The way we approach a prospective candidate.

Discreet, direct contact in a way that conveys trust and sparks their curiosity.

The way we promote your opportunity and qualify their experience.

Representing you with knowledge and enthusiasm while assessing experience, skills, and cultural fit.

The way we present candidates to you.

Introducing those who meet or exceed your expectations and are excited to explore the opportunity.

The way we support and advise all parties throughout the process.

Making sure you and the candidate are thoroughly prepared to meet, providing timely feedback, and managing next steps.

“Karen’s communication and consistency throughout the search process helped us so much. She was extremely attentive to our needs and asked all the right questions. This was a difficult search which presented some limitations, but Karen rolled up her sleeves and found us fantastic candidates.”

Our consultative approach ensures the most thorough and accurate exchange of information. In larger search firms, it is common practice for department heads to meet the clients and then delegate the search to lower-level associates. With BradfordLee, both managing partners work on every assignment, creating these important benefits:

The consultants (Karen and Murray) who meet you are the people who then conduct the search. No “hand offs”!

Large firms have significantly more clients than boutique firms. With those clients “off limits,” the in-industry candidates can be severely limited.

We strictly limit the number of searches we take simultaneously to give priority attention to each client. At larger firms, associates often juggle many assignments, limiting the time devoted to each and compromising quality.

With these best practices, clients and candidates know what to expect which yields the results they desire!

I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Murray and seeing firsthand the impact of his work in executive recruiting. Since 2001, he has been connecting outstanding organizations with exceptional leaders. He does it with a level of professionalism, care, and insight that sets him apart.

Murray brings a rare ability to truly understand both sides of the equation: the unique challenges and culture of each organization, and the skills and leadership qualities needed in C-Suite candidates. Whether working with corporate clients or nonprofit boards, he consistently identifies, recruits, and places leaders who not only fit the role but also elevate the organization.

What stands out most is his integrity and dedication to solving challenges for his clients. He doesn’t just fill a position – he ensures the right match to drive long-term success. If your organization is looking for an Executive Director, President/CEO, or other senior leader, I can’t recommend Murray highly enough. He is a trusted advisor and a true partner in executive search.
