Call us first or call us last. It's been our belief throughout the 38 years that we've been in the search business, that we are most effective for our clients when they engage us either at the outset of the search process (preferable) or once they've exhausted all other methods or sources. Regardless, our two strengths play well in either scenario:

1. We won't compromise on the quality of talent
2. We are relentless in our pursuit no matter how scarce the talent.

When the term "human capital" came into vogue in recent years, we adopted it as a part of our name- HCap. In company after company that we collaborated with, we saw the clear distinction in the performance of those companies that truly valued their people (human capital) and those who paid lip service. Those companies that recognized that their competitive advantage was talent have energized and loyal people that we couldn't have budged if we tried.

In Jim Collin's now classic study of great companies (Good to Great), he notes that great companies adhere to guiding principles that become their "hedgehog"- their singular focus. For us, we came to understand that being outstanding in the search business was predicated on our persistent and diligent efforts to find the best in the business. We pledge that doggedness if you hire us to augment your human capital.

We're not a particularly large firm, but we're sure that's not what makes a company great. We've been together a long time (though it only seems like yesterday). Dave Flanders leads the technology search practice and has since 1973. Barry Tower heads up the Insurance team and has since been identifying the best in that industry since 1980. Gary Abram is our business development leader and has been involved with us (on and off) since 1979.

Today, HCap Search remains focused. Search companies provide more value by having depth- the most complete knowledge of a field and its practitioners is critical. We offer this depth in the following practice specialties:

• Insurance
  
• Technology
  
• Executive Search/Kansas City
