how we’re different
Trust & Transparency
BIGFOOT was born out of executive search and it’s how we’ve learned to operate with the same transparent, strategic and collaborative search process to critical hires below the C-Suite. We bring trust and empathy to recruiting while creating a superior client and candidate experience.
Tech-Enabled Delivery
BIGFOOT’s search philosophy and process is built around data-driven decision making and open collaboration. We share our progress at every stage of the search in real-time through our client web portal which increases participation between search stakeholders and ultimately reduces time to close.
