In addition to executive recruiting, Eric Kercheval & Associates also provides the following services related to recruiting:
HR Consulting: assisting in the development of high-impact recruiting materials and job descriptions.
Compensation Analysis: is your agency paying too much or too little, given your size and market location? Base salary, bonuses, option grants and benefits… what is the right mix? What is competitive? Employee Retention: Since the economy is rebounding and more agencies are starting to hire, your prized employees may be targets of your competitors. Retention of top talent is far less costly than replacement. How do you keep them? Management-Succession Planning: always the most neglected and risky component of an agency’s evolution. If executed properly, the founder/owners can leave a profitable legacy. If not, many agencies have declined and some have ceased to exist. Merger & Acquisition Counsel: Eric Kercheval & Associates provides a valuable services to an agency seeking counsel on how to "monetize" their assets into a successful sale, or, with agency looking to grow through strategic acquisition as part of their business strategy.
This the process can be time-consuming and costly for an agency to pursue on its own. We can guide either the buyer or seller through a thorough process that maximize value and/return-on- investment while avoiding ill-fitting transactions (culturally and strategically).
We also provide valuable counsel in the area of "post-purchase integration" of the two companies after the transaction is completed. That is when the hard work and heavy lifting really begins, resulting in a successful integration of staff, services, culture and vision.
