Client Focus


Our experienced team of search professionals is dedicated to providing exceptional service to the clients of Sanford Rose Associates®-San Francisco.  We only accept a limited number of engagements which allows our search professionals to provide personalized attention to our clients and leads to minimal “off limits restrictions” and conflict situations.  Our model involves working with clients on an exclusive and retainer-fee basis.  We will, however, work with our clients to modify the process, fee terms, and other parameters of a search to meet specific needs without compromising on quality or our ability to exceed client expectations.  More than 50% of our business is repeat business, but we are always looking for ways to improve our client service and process which is why we conduct client and candidate satisfaction surveys for each search assignment.
