Broad Range of Successfully Completed Assignments:

A Track Record
of Success

Our reputation has been built on an in-depth understanding of the industry, an extensive due diligence process, a consultative approach with clients and candidates, and a record of placing outstanding professionals for the long term.

Why
Scott-Bennett?

The heart of our approach is the direct participation of the Principal in every phase of the search assignment. This ensures our clients a search process wholly conducted by a senior professional who brings knowledge and judgment throughout the engagement.

Trusted Advisor

As a Trusted Advisor to clients and candidates, our core philosophy is to deliver a consultative, transparent, well-informed and discreet experience. We view our business as highly interactive and personal.

Relationships Matter

Our direct engagement in the marketplace is a major source of value for our clients and candidates. The countless relationships that we have developed over thirty years contribute to and support our thorough research, due diligence and, ultimately, hundreds of successfully completed assignments.

Experience and Seasoned Judgment

Competition for talent remains intense, regardless of business conditions. Our successful recruiting is an outgrowth of our market knowledge, credibility, intuition and, above all, the seasoned judgment that we’ve developed over years of extensive, industry-specific experience.

Commitment

We have elected to remain a small, focused firm that accepts only as many assignments as we are confident that we can complete.

Our
History

Scott-Bennett Inc., the predecessor firm to Scott-Bennett, LLC, was established in 1988, with a model unique to the search industry. That is, the Principals conducted each stage of the search process, allowing for high-touch service and an ability to gain market knowledge and insight that is unparalleled in our respective specialties. We maintain that same approach today, and have for over three decades. We do this by limiting our searches to a handful of assignments at any given time.

In 2020, when Ellen Klein retired, Susan Taylor and Robert Shainheit formed separate entities to pursue their own well-established and specialized practices. Robert founded Cambio Systematic LLC where he concentrates on systematic investments. At Scott-Bennett, LLC, Susan focuses exclusively on wealth management, marketing and distribution.

A Quality Process

A Match for
the Long Term

We view ourselves as matchmakers. We are not just filling a job opening, but creating a long-term relationship.

Search Strategy

Working in a close consultative relationship with clients, we gain a detailed understanding of the business objectives and workplace culture that drives a search strategy tailored specifically to the needs that have been identified.

Finding the Right Fit

We conduct in-depth research on potential candidates, focusing on their reputation, motivation, and long term career objectives, as well as their professional accomplishments. Respectful of our clients’ time, we devote substantial energy to winnowing out inappropriate candidates. Clients see only the most qualified and promising prospects.

Integrity

We understand that the integrity and confidentiality of the search process are of ultimate concern to clients and candidates alike. We share their concern and take special pride in the fact that so many candidates have gone on to become Scott-Bennett clients.

No Surprises

A well-orchestrated search leads naturally to successful negotiations and closure. Throughout the process, we work carefully to build rapport with each candidate, to understand his or her motivations, and to maintain momentum. When it comes time to gain the final candidate’s acceptance of an offer, potential hurdles have already been cleared.
