Search Process

We Identify and Attract Talented Professionals Who Drive Financial Results.

The right candidate will possess the ideal mix of hard skills (technical) and soft skills (cultural). As one of the top retained executive search firms in Denver, Chicago, Seattle and other major U.S. cities, Sheer Velocity has the experience and the proven method to assess both, and find your perfect fit.

Our vetting process is geared toward isolating proven performers with impeccable track records. We don’t focus on expectations; we look for accomplishments. Our investigation will uncover the hard numbers that communicate candidate’s achievements, and their impact on the bottom line. And we’ll assess how these historical “wins” correlate with the demands of the seat you’re attempting to fill.
