Sophisticated Headhunting Excellence with Integrity
Specializing in executive and professional search, we also offer a full suite of strategic talent services — from leadership advisory and compensation insights, to precision-crafted position descriptions, talent succession development, candidate pipelining, and performance improvement planning. We aim to empower organizations to attract, align, and retain top-tier talent.
Executive and Professional Search
Turning Point Search is Geographically-Flexible within the U.S.
Whether your organization needs to fill one strategic opening or build an entire team, we will partner with you to customize the best approach and recruiting plan.Â
Closed Retained Search
For mission-critical leadership hires, our Closed Retained Search model provides the highest level of partnership, priority, and confidentiality. This approach is ideal when the role is strategically vital, time-sensitive, or requires a discreet search process.
With a retained engagement, your organization demonstrates a strong commitment to filling the position and securing top-tier talent. A portion of the fee is paid upfront to initiate the search, and in return, Turning Point Search offers exclusive representation—dedicating premium resources and strategic focus until the position is successfully filled.
This model ensures our full attention and aligns both parties in a shared commitment to results. It’s especially suited for confidential executive transitions or critical leadership vacancies that require precision and discretion.
As a trusted partner in high-level executive search, Turning Point Search works directly with your decision-makers to shape a customized, strategic recruitment plan. Our proven retained search process safeguards confidentiality while attracting transformational leaders who align with your business goals and culture.
Let us help you navigate your most important hires with professionalism, integrity, and urgency.
Open Contingent Search
Our contingent search model offers clients maximum flexibility and a performance-based approach to talent acquisition. With this method, fees are only incurred upon the successful placement of a candidate, making it a cost-effective solution—especially when exploring multiple avenues for a hire or when working alongside internal HR teams and other partners.
While this model may involve collaboration with multiple recruiting sources, we remain committed to delivering high-quality candidates and meaningful results. Our team approaches each contingent search with thoughtful consideration, prioritizing based on alignment, engagement level, and the opportunity’s potential for success.
Contingent searches are particularly well-suited for organizations navigating changing needs—whether a role is newly opened, evolving, or subject to internal shifts. We understand that hiring strategies aren’t always linear, and we're happy to support our clients through those transitions.
To ensure the most successful outcomes, we’ll work closely with you to assess the scope, urgency, and intent of the search—helping us allocate the right resources and maintain the exceptional service standards our clients have come to expect.

Why Employers Should Care About the Cost of Vacant Positions?
Your unfilled positions aren't just empty seats - they're profit killers for your company.
Depending on the level of position, the cost of a vacant executive or professional role can range anywhere between $300 to $20,000 per day, according to a Partnership Employment and Lauber Business Report.
That's could mean $9,000 to $600,000 of lost revenue per month!
