Value

Communication
Listening skills are very important for a good executive search consultant, however we believe that it is only one part of the process. A successful consultant is also very good at conveying details, quickly and clearly. This back and forth dialogue works well for all our professionals.

Enjoyment

“People person” or “charismatic” is often the description we hear about ourselves. This is a great compliment, but it reflects BIC GROUP consultants’ abilities to be – Best In Class – best at performing our services.

Culture

We come from very different backgrounds, but respect for others is a basic rule we follow at BIC.

Integrity

BIC consultants speak frankly and directly with people. Executive Search is a very serious business that affects people’s lives and we take our roles very seriously and professionally.

Method

Rapport

Our BIC Rapport methodology is quite simple. As executive search consultants, we must first understand our clients’ needs. Understanding your client goes way beyond being able to review a job description. Other important elements include market conditions both locally and globally, the factors and reasons behind the company’s success, finding and sourcing candidates from top competitors, and the culture of the company. Business is “people to people,” which means BIC consultants are good communicators. This is why we are the BIC.

Forward

BIC consultants have the skill and experience to bring both sides together step-by-step through the entire recruitment process. We help make deals that leave both sides looking forward to the upside and to a successful future. Our executive search consultants work to ensure that communication flows quickly and evenly. This transparency results in more openness and trust. This is the BIC way.
