9. Why do you call your firm Genesis Executive when you place senior professionals as well as executives?
That is because the term “executive search” is a verb as well as a noun, meaning it defines a methodology as well as the level of candidate placed. Genesis works on a retained basis, is an advisor to the client company on hiring and a coach to the candidate on his or her next career move. In oil and gas our professional level candidate and those hiring deserve that type of service, not just senior level management.
