We believe that talent solutions should reflect the specific circumstances and ambitions of each client. Some businesses need a chief financial officer who can navigate rapid expansion while maintaining fiscal discipline, while others seek an operations leader capable of stabilizing processes and building sustainable improvements. We learn about your company in meaningful depth, exploring team dynamics, competitive landscape, and industry nuances before constructing a search strategy that fits your situation.


This philosophy means no two searches look exactly alike. We adapt our methods to accommodate your timeline, budget constraints, and expectations for the caliber of qualified candidates you want to meet. Whether you are a startup seeking your first senior hire or an established enterprise planning executive placements across multiple divisions, we bring the same dedication to understanding what success looks like for you.

Our Recruitment Process


Contact us

Reaching out is straightforward. You can call our team directly, send an email describing your needs, or complete the inquiry form on our website. If you’re searching for access to the best talent in Pittsburgh, PA, you’ve come to the right place. We respond promptly because we understand that finding top talent often involves pressing timelines and urgent business imperatives.

Briefing

We prepare a comprehensive brief that captures everything essential about the role, your company’s culture and objectives, and the profile of the ideal candidate. This includes developing a detailed job description that guides the entire search, ensuring every team member understands your priorities and can evaluate prospects against consistent criteria. A thorough brief leads to stronger candidates and fewer misalignments.

Identify &
Screen Talents

Our recruiters employ deep research, professional networking, and direct outreach to identify individuals who might be excellent fits. As local experts in the Pittsburgh market, we screen each candidate through structured interviews, comprehensive reference checks, and relevant assessments designed to confirm they possess the skills, experience, and disposition your role demands. We review each resume carefully, and only those who meet our exacting standards advance to meet your team.

Interview & Offer

We coordinate interviews between your hiring managers and shortlisted candidates, handling scheduling logistics and ensuring everyone has the information they need. Throughout this stage, we provide candid feedback, answer questions from both sides, and help manage expectations. When you feel ready to extend an offer—whether for full-time candidates or contract engagements—we support the negotiation process to help secure your preferred candidate.

Onboard

Hiring represents only the beginning of a successful executive placement. We remain engaged during the onboarding period to ensure a smooth transition, checking in with both the new leader and your team to address friction points before they become obstacles. Our support helps new executives integrate quickly and begin contributing meaningfully from their first weeks.

The Haldren
Difference

Haldren is widely recognized as a leader in executive recruitment, and our consultants have built that reputation through years of consistent performance, integrity, and discretion. We approach each search with the same dedication, whether helping a local Pittsburgh business hire its first chief executive or assisting a multinational corporation with succession planning across several regions. Our experience spans industries, geographies, and company sizes, allowing us to bring fresh perspectives and proven methods to every engagement.

Beyond executive search, we offer supporting services designed to help clients build leadership capacity that endures beyond any single hire. These include succession planning to prepare for future transitions, leadership development programs that strengthen your management team, and executive coaching that helps newly placed leaders accelerate their effectiveness. We view these as natural extensions of our core work because placing a talented leader is only valuable if that person receives the support necessary to succeed.
