OUR HISTORY
Our firm was conceived of a management consulting philosophy and born from our founder, Dick Slayton’s, uncommon commitment to a new vision of executive search best practices. Although no longer an owner or active in the firm, his principles live on at the "new" Slayton Search Partners.
In the early days, our executive search practice was built around a set of principles that still resonate in our search engagements today. These principles are now being further developed by our founder’s son, Rick Slayton, along with a team of senior colleagues who - in keeping with Rick’s strategic vision - were brought in from many of the other major search firms.
Our initial set of principles rested on our ability to provide our clients outstanding:
- •Knowledge - Our record of performance is deep, broad-based and built on experience
- •Integrity - We're committed to the highest ethical standards in the conduct of our business
- •Communication - Our timely completion of assignments depends largely on our accessibility to clients and our mutual commitment to communicate as the engagement progresses
- •Quality - We’re dedicated to quality results and continuous improvement
The promises we made to clients - and our commitment to follow through on them - fueled the growth of Slayton International from 1985 as a largely Mid-western industrial consulting heritage to our emergence in 2006 as a multi-specialty national executive search firm then renamed Slayton Search Partners.
Since the beginning, we’ve adhered to our ‘client first’ philosophy, and over time, we’ve grown and recruited some of the best and brightest leaders and consultants in the search business. Each brings their own unique experience and credentials and each also shares our lasting commitment to quality and consistent outcomes for the organizations we serve.
Today, Slayton Search Partners’ enduring legacy puts your organization - its mission, its management and its future growth - at the center of our commitment to providing you with limit-less® executive search solutions. We look back on a history of executive search engagement that sets the tone, builds the culture and raises the performance of our firm as we strive to deliver exceptional results...one relationship and one search at a time.
