The Montgomery Group is a boutique executive search firm led by Kristian Schwartz. Kristian spent the first half of his career working in advertising and consulting. Throughout his tenure, Kristian engaged with numerous search firms and always found the results needed improvement. To change the outcome, Kristian began recruiting members for his team. The rest is history as I now recruit for the roles I once held. My focus is on delivery and successful outcomes.

Value We Deliver

  1. Beyond the brief and resume - Before embarking on a search, we delve deeper into the core business challenge, the why.' Our advisory approach uncovers unexplored needs, shaping the search strategy and ideal candidate profile. Similarly, we decode candidates' career desires, aspirations, and objectives. While hard skills are easily gauged, intangible soft skills enable results.

  2. Partner-led searches - All of our searches are partner-led; we do not use junior team members or external resources for sourcing or research.

  3. Results that exceed industry standards - Our results exceed industry norms, boasting exceptional results, from search completion and offer acceptance rates to tenure in the role.

  4. Focus on performance - Our fee agreements are tied to performance, ensuring a shared commitment to excellence. Whether it's a retainer or a contained arrangement, our focus is on results.
