The DF Brown & Associates Difference
Like Emperor Qin Shihuangdi and his terracotta warriors, DF Brown & Associates recognizes that every candidate has unique qualities that must be sought, unearthed, and engaged in order to create value for clients. We understand that finding the individual who will fit your business, contribute to its profitability, and become a lasting part of its success is difficult to achieve, but priceless when accomplished. We’ve built our reputation and success on our ability to unearth the ideal candidate who will add substantial value to your business.

Our Guarantee

We work with our clients throughout the executive search process and beyond and will refrain from recruiting from your organization for a minimum of two years following the completion of an assignment. Should one of our client firms or a newly placed executive terminate the employment relationship within the first year, it is the responsibility of all participants to review the integrity of the search process. If the reasons for termination relate to the quality of our services, we will re-initiate the defined search project and no further professional fees will be assessed.

Our Signature Searches are conducted on a retainer basis and we are compensated only by our client companies. Fees for each search are assessed individually based on the length and complexity of the search assignment and are typically a fixed amount that will not vary once the search commences.

About the Terracotta Warriors
Each warrior is unique and even in effigy, provides protection for the fallen emperor. Horses, armor and other equipment were also unearthed in the mid-1970's. Like the warriors, each industry, client and candidate has unique qualities. We translate the unique attributes of culture, position and profile to unearth the best talent and protect the interests of our clients.
Our Values Make Us Different

DF Brown & Associates places value in our relationships with clients and candidates. You can trust us to protect confidential information, meet time-sensitive deadlines, and take care of every detail.

We Value Your Time
Despite the proliferation of job posting services on the Internet, there are no shortcuts to recruiting top talent. You don’t have time to sort through hundreds of emails and resumes from candidates who may not even be qualified for the employment you’re offering. We use proven sourcing methods to identify candidates for you. Even if your company has a talent acquisition process in place, you may benefit from our thorough screening and interview process.

We Value Your Organization
Every position your company needs to fill is unique. That’s why we customize every retained search. We build collaborative partnerships with our clients in order to recruit effectively for their specific business needs. And we only commit to a search when we know we can find the most qualified candidates.

We Value Your Priorities
Recruiting top talent requires time and attention to detail. It is nearly impossible to make sound hiring decisions when you have to focus on sales figures and production deadlines. Trust us to handle the details of the hiring process. Our job is to give you the freedom to do your job.

Our Areas of Specialty Set Us Apart
International companies often face the additional challenge of helping new employees make a cultural transition. We specialize in working with European companies looking for U.S. based leaders they can trust to run their operations here. We also work with U.S. firms who have similar needs in Europe or Latin America.

In addition to our international searches, we have extensive experience placing executives in heavy manufacturing environments. We have a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in that type of environment and can quickly identify which candidates are right for your needs.
