THE ESGI POTOMAC Difference

We measure success not only by the caliber of talent we deliver, but by the enduring impact those leaders create within their organizations. Every engagement is defined by partnership and performance – ensuring that our clients gain leaders who will navigate complexity, seize opportunity, and accelerate enterprise value.  All searches are performed by individual partners. We do not use AI to analyze candidates–we take a human approach to selection and placement, and guarantee candidates for at least one year. 

Unlike other firms that exit after the 90 day replacement period, we guarantee our candidate placements for one year. Our senior partners stay involved for that first year to understand how the onboarding process is going, support both the candidate and employer, and ensure retention.

At ESGI Potomac our partners never take competing searches at the same time, so your company’s specific search  is our top priority.

Our mission is simple: to connect visionary organizations with the transformative leaders they need to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
