Our Model is Different

The national reach and board-level presence of a large firm with all the benefits of a boutique.

  • The Partners at McCarthy Bertschy have better access to candidates. Global search firms have significant non-solicit issues and candidate reservation restrictions that limit the pool of executives they can access, often putting 25–30% of prospective candidates off-limits.
  • Our functional breadth and search agility combined with being analytic problem solvers allows us to get to know our clients deeply and work with them across their organizations.

McCarthy Bertschy’s ability to get to any pool of candidates quickly and with broader access results in a better outcome for our clients.

With larger recruiting firms, you don’t get the personalized level of service that McCarthy Bertschy’s partners provide.

Chief Human Resources Officer, Santa Cruz Nutritionals

"The ease of doing business with McCarthy Bertschy is second to none. From understanding what your needs are and what will provide the best solution through the interview, screening process, the administrative pieces, all the way from cradle to grave, it's an easy process. They truly feel like an extension of my function here in HR, where they understand who we are and the way that we work so that they can tailor their approach to our unique needs and opportunities."

"McCarthy Bertschy’s team are great communicators, very timely, and not afraid to pour cold water on seemingly good ideas. We work together in a consultative approach. They help initiate a discussion on the key priority of fit for this particular field or business and use their network and resources to find great candidates that line up with that."

Managing Director, Wind Point Partners

"The McCarthy Bertschy partners truly feel like an extension of my function here in HR, where they understand who we are and the way that we work so that they tailor their approach to our unique needs and opportunities."

SVP Human Resources, The Manitowoc Company

"Other search firm partners wanted to know if I had presented to a board and whether I had implemented a strategic plan.  That’s it. When I worked with Anne at McCarthy Bertschy, we not only discussed my skills and career experiences, we also spent time talking about who I am as a person. She wanted to get to know me and whether her client’s culture was a good for me. Then together, we made the decision about taking next steps. I have not worked with anyone else who took such a thoughtful, in depth approach to my candidacy."

"The McCarthy Bertschy team’s command of details has surprised me the most over the years. I’m not sure Chris Bertschy has ever forgotten a name or something about that executive or individual’s life that is relevant to the situation. To be successful, you have to rely on intuition, intellect, memory and the way you pull everything together and be a big picture thinker - this is something McCarthy Bertschy does really well."

Managing Director, Wind Point Partners

"McCarthy Bertschy helped us with a Senior Director of HR search, and she is probably the best HR hire that I’ve ever made. Anne sourced the right people, shepherded the candidates and helped us come to the right decision between two very different candidates. She prepared our two finalists to ensure they put their best foot forward so we could choose the right candidate."
