What Clients Are Saying
“I have worked with dozens of premiere, name brand retained executive search firms throughout my career and been disappointed with many. The Lancer Group is truly a standout in this crowded space. They bring three important capabilities to their work. A commitment to truly understanding the job specification and the needs of their clients. A strong and broad research capability. A real commitment to satisfying clients and not stuffing a candidate to complete a search.”
“The team at Lancer was great. They had a deep understanding of the company and the role required by the CFO. They moved the process along quickly and efficiently.“
“Lancer has helped us find outstanding people for our executive team and board.“
