How We Do It

Our clients choose 180one because our fresh approach to recruiting is more thoughtful and targeted than traditional recruiting methods.

Each organization is unique. We understand our clients have different business models, organizational structures, cultures and skill needs. So we use a top-down approach to ultimately determine the profile of the candidate needed to achieve the goals of the organization.

An average search with 180one takes 75 days from kick-off to completion.

The Complete Search Solution

Rather than relying on the outdated “database” method, 180one executes a specific headhunting approach, tailored to our clients’ needs. We combine several key elements to identify and target the candidates with the right skills and experience to help our clients succeed. Learn more about our recruiting process below.

See the Facts

I’ve been impressed with 180one and their approach to working with us. They did a lot of pre-work, more than any other companies we’ve worked with. That made all the difference in finding the right team members. They were more than a recruiting firm; they were a strategic partner.
