/PressMediaWire/ - Adam Zak today announced the rebrand of his business from Adams & Associates International to Adam Zak Executive Search. Zak specializes in executive search for the Lean and LeanSigma Enterprise. The company is located in Barrington, Illinois and was founded in 1987.
“As president of a boutique executive search firm, I know all of my clients on a first-name basis, and I’m also intimately familiar with their business vision, execution strategy and operational details," says Zak. "Our firm name needed to more suitably reflect this close, one-to-one client partnering relationship and service model.”
"We don't need all the handholding that many of the search firms think you need," says one such client, Larry Wolfe. Wolf serves as Vice President, Administration and Assistant Secretary of J.B. Poindexter & Co. Inc., an automotive component and specialty vehicle supplier. Wolfe notes, "I told Adam, 'I don't want a polished resume presentation, I want the scoop ASAP.' He worked the way I wanted and needed to work. He adapted his methodology and approach to meet our needs. Spot on."
Wolf's opinion is shared by Mary Carter, Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Administration of Andersen Corporation, a door and window manufacturer. Carter says, "Adam Zak is truly a gem in his profession. I wish I'd found him about a million dollars ago." Carter notes, "He's trying to understand how we think, how we represent the company in a way that will add meaning to his search….By the time we interviewed, we had a list of candidates that were such a good match that we could have picked any one of them."
"I had resisted naming the firm after myself," says Zak," but my clients convinced me that it was a more accurate representation of the personal level of service our lean executive search firm offers. Over 80% of our executive search engagements come to us through referrals, and previous lean manufacturing clients would invariably recommend 'Adam Zak' rather than 'Adams & Associates.'"
