Wiser Partners is a retained executive search firm, with offices in Cincinnati, Chicago and Austin, focused exclusively on three, critical commercial functions – Marketing, Sales and Market Research/Consumer Insights. With more than ten years of experience in this strategic niche, across multiple industries, Wiser Partners has built a reputation as one of the premier boutiques in this space.

The mission of Wiser Partners is to deliver world-class Marketing, Sales and Research/CI athletes to our clients, who can make an immediate and significant impact on the business. Most firms claim this kind of delivery, but Wiser Partners has a very unique profile and philosophy that enables the firm to deliver consistent quality to clients:

     Wiser Principle #1: Know the Market

We strongly believe that you should recruit what you know and what you've done before. The Partners in our firm have all held senior Marketing, Sales and General Management positions in world-class CPG companies, like P&G, Quaker Oats, and Bristol-Myers. We've done these jobs before and we know an "A" player from the rest. And this functional expertise is what helps us get closer to top talent, where we can serve them as legitimate career agents – and not just recruiters.

     Wiser Principle #2: Focus

“Stick to your knitting.” Many talk about it, but few are committed to it. With a dedicated and decidedly narrow focus on the Marketing, Sales and Research/CI functions, we've built a highly-concentrated network of candidate talent that extends wide through multiple industries, and deep across experience levels. The bottom line is that if the search is in our “sweet spot,” we’ll tell you … if it’s not in our sweet spot, we’ll tell you that, too.

     Wiser Principle #3: Smaller is Better

The fact is that the large, retained firms operate internally with significant pressure to deliver volume. We’re not a publicly-traded firm, and we don’t have annual revenue targets to hit. We manage and retain only those searches where we feel we can deliver significant value, and in return, we commit to a higher-level of service for our clients. And the partners you meet from Wiser Partners are actually the ones who will manage your search.

     Wiser Principle #4: Look Deeper

As former line Marketing and Sales executives, each of our Partners understands how to dissect Marketing, Research, and Sales organizations, identify the real opportunities and issues, and ultimately propose and design far more than just job specs. We may even see opportunities to enhance the definition and ultimate impact of a particular role, based on our backgrounds and search experience across virtually every industry.
