Pollard Search Group

About Us

We are a boutique firm by choice, with exceptional resources and a shared philosophy about client and candidate relationships and value delivered. We select and manage only those searches where we feel we can deliver significant value. Because of this, we don't have the "off-limit" policies that larger retained search firms have thus ensuring you have access to the "total" candidate pool - not half of it.

At Pollard Search Group, we want to be measured by our results. Choose us as your partner in executive search and you will immediately see what sets us apart. Our commitment, dedication, focus, creativity, tenacity, timeliness, and accessibility are a few of our traits and characteristics but most importantly, we deliver! We will leave no stone unturned until we successfully complete our assignment for you.

To successfully complete our assignment with you we invest the time to understand your company, your values, your culture, your needs. We take the time to learn your business and approach each search in partnership with you.

We have over twenty-five years experience sourcing and referring the best athletes to our clients - not the next best.
