Retained Executive Search Services

Our Search Process

Five Decades of Executive Search Practice

J.R. Adams & Associates provides retained executive search services to organizations seeking experienced leadership aligned with culture, values, and long-term objectives. Each engagement is conducted with discretion, discipline, and professional judgment, reflecting the significance of senior-level leadership decisions.

We work with a limited number of clients to ensure every search receives focused attention, continuity, and thoughtful execution.

Our Executive Search Philosophy

Executive search is not a transactional activity. It is a professional responsibility that influences organizational direction, stability, and performance. Our approach is built on careful evaluation, ethical representation, and a commitment to long-term leadership success.

We serve as an extension of our clients’ organizations, representing them with professionalism and integrity throughout the search process.

Discovery & Role Definition

We begin by developing a thorough understanding of the organization, leadership team, culture, and strategic objectives. This phase establishes a clear foundation for candidate identification and evaluation.

Research & Candidate Identification

We conduct targeted research to identify qualified leadership candidates whose experience and leadership style align with the organization’s needs.

Evaluation & Interviewing

Candidates are evaluated through structured interviews and disciplined assessment practices focused on leadership capability, judgment, and cultural alignment.

Presentation & Selection Support

We present qualified candidates and provide guidance throughout the interview and selection process, supporting informed decision-making.

Completion & Follow-Up

We assist through final selection, offer acceptance, and onboarding, maintaining continuity and accountability throughout the engagement.

Our Service Model

J.R. Adams & Associates operates as a boutique firm by design. We engage selectively and work exclusively on a retained basis. This model allows us to deliver consistent quality, focused attention, and professional continuity across all executive search engagements.
