The role of Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), or Chief People Officer as it has become more commonly known, has evolved quite a bit as it joins the C-suite. From disruptive startups to established industry leaders, companies now view human capital to be at the core of their growth strategies. And diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expertise has become just as important as industry knowledge, compliance, and risk management when it comes to creating and overseeing employee programs.
SPMB Executive Search has more than 40 years in the executive search business, so we know what it takes to find top-notch talent. We apply a comprehensive program to source, interview and hire exceptional HR leadership candidates in a variety of industries.
Human resources leaders often partner with other executives to create hiring and talent retention strategies that align with a company’s goals and culture. This includes spearheading successful company succession strategies.
Whether the function is at the chief level or at a vice president or Head of Talent Acquisition title, we’ll help write a clear job description outlining the specific experiences and responsibilities necessary for the role. SPMB assists firms in all stages — venture capital, public equity, and publicly traded — design a hiring strategy for an HR executive who will take the lead on best people practices to find and retain the strongest talent for long-term company growth.
DEI is not just a fad. It’s at the core of hiring and retaining high-performing talent at any organization. Leaders with the acute awareness and special skills to create initiatives that foster inclusion, root out biases, and incorporate proven employee training programs and policies are in high demand.
SPMB starts every search with DEI in mind. We’ll scour our networks to offer a slate of HR and People leaders with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives to set your company’s employee practices on an inclusive path.
Successful executives don’t just hire the best people, they keep them by supporting them personally and helping them grow professionally. HR and People Ops heads require expertise in implementing benefit packages, wellness programs, work-life balance initiatives, and learning and development opportunities. And with the world’s transition to remote and hybrid workplaces, the best HR leaders manage effective work-from-home models to ensure productivity and employee engagement. SPMB’s search teams apply their talent recruitment expertise to identify HR candidates with proven program leadership skills.
SPMB understands the importance of personalized, comprehensive strategies for talent acquisition. We’ll work with your company to create a detailed plan to identify the best candidates in the HR and People Ops business. And once you’ve hired that standout senior HR leader, we’ll continue to partner with them to advise on future executive and other leadership searches. Contact us today to learn more.
