Professional Search: For Positions Under The Director Level

Beyond C-suite recruitment, organizations depend on experienced middle managers and individual contributors to execute strategy, drive key initiatives, and make critical decisions. Our specialized, performance-driven search practice enables us to support clients in filling some of their most vital roles. Whether it's a single high-impact individual contributor or a large-scale hiring project to rapidly build a new department, our dedicated team delivers with speed—without compromising on quality or fit.

We partner with companies to recruit across diverse industries and functions. This approach ensures you connect with professionals who bring both the technical expertise and leadership capabilities needed to transform business outcomes.

Why Pender & Howe for Middle Management Search?

Our approach to middle management search is built on the similar methodology we use for C-suite roles—a process, not just a position-filling exercise—delivering consistent results where traditional recruitment methods often fall short. We focus on the parts of our process most relevant to non-executive roles, as this process is unique and requires a specific skill set, specialized tools, and a dedicated team.

The difference is that speed and precision are sometimes more important for individual contributor or manager-level searches, compared to the rigorous processes we follow in our executive division. The outcome is similar, but the approach requires a different touch and cadence.

  • Executive-Caliber Process: We apply the same attention to detail used in C-suite searches to the rest of your organization—delivering higher-quality candidates, fast.
  • Strategic Focus: We specialize in roles below the director level, such as department heads, management positions, and critical individual contributors who drive operations and strategy.
  • Industry Expertise: Our team of recruiters in this division bring deep knowledge across technology, healthcare, consumer goods, industrial, and professional services.
  • Global Talent Network: Tap into passive and active candidates with specialized skills and proven leadership experience.
  • Ongoing Partnership: We stay engaged post-placement to ensure your team evolves with your business.
