THE ESGI DIFFERENCE:

This month, we’re celebrating our 20th year. Because of this, we’re able to deliver the following:

Speed: ESGI can complete assignments on average of forty-five (45) days thanks to a network cultivated over twenty (20) years. Our relationships with top talent in virtually every functional discipline allow us to fill positions fast.

Process: The ESGI process has been developed over thirty (30) years and is client-driven. Frequent communication, diverse candidate slates, in-depth candidate evaluation, and reference reports dramatically assure assignments result in a client’s hiring the right people.

Behavioral References: The key ingredient to any successful search assignment is to understand the cultural fit. ESGI has developed a transparent and comprehensive behavioral reference audit process over many years in the business. This has contributed to a 90% success rate as measured by how well the executive performs after one year in the position. This is how success is measured at ESGI.

Industry Knowledge: With twenty (20) years in federal contracting, ESGI understands the industry. Our executive recruiters in DC have helped large, small, and mid-sized federal contractors hire senior-level talent that delivers unprecedented results. We know how to work with small businesses (8a), Service-Disabled Contractors, minority, and women-owned businesses. We work diligently with CEOs of graduated small businesses that are growing their business after losing small business advantage.

Establishing Federal Practices: ESGI works with companies globally who are interested in selling their services, products, and solutions to the United States Federal Government. To be successful, companies must hire executives who have work experience in federal contracting, be based in the DC region since this sector operates much differently than the commercial market. These companies turn to ESGI based on our reputation, knowledge of the business, and our network. We know the Integrator Community and how to help clients partner. We consult with foreign-owned companies on what to expect in this sector and how to set a winning strategy.
