How We Do It

• “In a world of volume-driven recruiting, we offer something different: partnership. We’re not just a search firm; we’re an extension of your team. At Bob Nahas Executive Search we believe executive search should be a bespoke experience, not a one-size-fits-all process. That’s why we intentionally limit our engagements, allowing us to dedicate unparalleled focus to your specific needs and the nuances of your search.
• Leading our retail and fashion practice is Bob Nahas, a recognized industry veteran with over 25 years of experience. His background isn’t just in search; he’s been in your shoes, having served as both a management consultant and operating executive within these very industries. This unique perspective, combined with his deep industry network, gives him unparalleled access to top-tier talent – the kind of talent that isn’t actively looking, but is open to the right opportunity. Clients value Bob’s established presence, knowing that when he reaches out to a candidate, it carries weight and credibility. His tenacious yet creative approach consistently delivers exceptional results, not just in placements, but in long-term retention.
• Our process is built on deep immersion. We don’t just fill a role; we understand your culture, your values, and your strategic objectives. This allows us to truly represent you to potential candidates, ensuring not just a skills match, but a cultural fit that thrives. From initial screening and in-depth interviews, to offer negotiation and onboarding support, Bob personally oversees every step of the process. We leverage a multi-pronged sourcing strategy, including our proprietary database, direct outreach to known executives, targeted research, and our extensive network of industry insiders.
• We stand behind our work. We offer a replacement guarantee, we don’t recruit from our placements, and we honor agreed-upon exclusivity periods. We’re invested in your long-term success, and we’re committed to building lasting relationships, not just filling vacancies. Let’s discuss how we can help you find the exceptional leadership that will drive your business forward.”
