Outcomes & Measurable Results

Executive recruiting in the automotive industry requires precision. Our focus is not simply filling roles — it is placing leadership that performs and remains.

Average Search Timeline

Retained executive searches typically close within:

30–60 days from engagement to signed offer

Search timelines vary based on geography, role complexity, and compensation structure, but structured market mapping reduces delays and misalignment.

Leadership Retention

We prioritize long-term placement stability.

Our placements are evaluated not just on acceptance — but on retention and performance within the first year. Our firm achieved an 85% candidate retention rate in 2025 indicating the effectiveness of our process.

Role Specialization

We focus specifically on executive and financial leadership roles, including:

• Controllers

• CFOs

• Fixed Operations directors

• General Managers

• Fleet Sales Leaders

• Multi-store executive oversight

• Other staff as needed to support our best clients

Specialization allows for deeper market knowledge and compensation benchmarking.

Compensation Benchmarking Insight

Because we operate exclusively within automotive retail, we maintain ongoing visibility into:

• Base salary trends

• Percentage-of-net-profit structures

• Hybrid compensation models

• Regional variations across the Southeast

This advisory layer protects both ownership and candidate alignment.

Confidential Search Execution

A significant percentage of candidates placed are passive leaders not actively seeking new employment.

Our discreet outreach model ensures:

• Confidentiality for dealer groups

• Minimal disruption to current operations

• Strategic movement rather than reactive hiring

Long-Term Placement Philosophy

We measure success by:

• Role clarity

• Cultural alignment

• Leadership stability

• Operational performance contribution

Executive hiring mistakes are costly. Our process is designed to reduce that risk.
