Strategic Talent Acquisition

Hiring an executive is a difficult and high-risk proposition. Cochran, Cochran & Yale strives to minimize the risk involved in leadership hiring by diving deep into the organizational needs behind each new search for talent. Before you can identify and attract the right individual for your new role or vacancy, your company needs to get clear on the outcomes required of that position. At CCY, we drive at the cultural context of our clients’ open opportunities to identify the ideal business impact of each hire, not just the requisite skills and responsibilities. We’ll find you the talent you need for today and for where you’re determined to go in the future.

CCY has refined its talent acquisition approach for over 40 years. The result is a proven process for getting the right person in the right seat and everyone rowing in the same direction.

50% of all new executive hires fail within the first 18 months. 90% of CCY hires succeed.

It’s hard enough to find multiple qualified candidates. Identifying those who will thrive within your organization’s workplace environment and culture is next to impossible. Yet that’s what we’re determined to do. Our unique, validated candidate assessment — developed through clinical research at the University of Rochester — quantifies personality and behavioral characteristics to predict an individual’s likelihood of high performance within a specific environment. It’s able to accurately predict culture fit 70% of the time, independent of any other factors. That’s 40% more accurate than the average hiring team.

70% of our placed executives were unknown to CCY at the start of the corresponding search.

At Cochran, Cochran & Yale, we don’t fill roles. We identify, attract, and recruit individuals whose skills, goals, and working styles are in alignment with our clients’  organizations and opportunities. First, we understand who you need. Then we go find and engage them, regardless of where they are or whether they’re currently employed. Other executive recruiting firms have databases. We have 40 years of networks and relationships.
