Hands-on executive search assistance
Executive Job Search for $200,000+ Leaders
We work for you, the individual executive. Your dedicated team provides
hands-on company research, decision-maker outreach, and introductions
through our network of more than 50,000 senior executives.
Browning Associates is a fee-based executive career search firm for $200,000+ executives—a model also known as reverse recruiting. For nearly 30 years, we have worked directly for executive job seekers, bringing decades of experience, relationships, and personal commitment to every search.
Traditional recruiters and headhunters are hired by companies to fill positions. At Browning Associates, you are our client. Our allegiance has always been to the job seeker. We work for you—and that has been our model from the beginning.
Your dedicated project team researches target companies, identifies decision-makers, carries out direct outreach, and pursues relevant introductions through our network of more than 50,000 senior executives.
A plan for three to five new connections each week
Once your campaign is underway, our action plan is designed to help you connect with three to five new people each week through networking conversations, exploratory discussions, and, where opportunities align, hiring interviews. Achieving that pace requires consistent participation, follow-through, and collaboration with your project team.
Unlimited companies. A targeted search.
Our full-service program targets unlimited companies. We continually develop and refine your target list around your career goals, industry, and preferred locations, with hands-on research and decision-maker outreach throughout your search.
