NCC Executive Search Consultants... Our People Are Our Business...

Client Relationship

Building relationships is very important to all of us at N.C.C.  Our success depends on our ability to get to know our clients.   Our professional recruiters will work closely with you and your company in a partnering arrangement to locate and recruit only the top 20% in your industry to match your specific requirements. 

Experience

N.C.C is a professional, contingency or retained executive search firm founded in 1974 to fill the needs of the corporate community.  Our offices are located in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Westlake and San Francisco, California.  N.C.C is a member of the National Personnel Associates, a consortium of 400 recruiting companies in the US and Canada.  

Approach

Our recruiting professionals are supported by the latest technological aids and directed by the highest standards of achievement and excellence. At least two professional recruiters partner on each search with nine additional recruiters available to assist on multiple positions. Our state-of-the-art databases and extensive networks, built over 20 years, afford you with recruiters who have the most up-to-date information. N.C.C offers a personal approach to retained search beginning with a visit to the client (at our expense), and assistance in preparing a position description and search strategy.

Results

We place people who have been targeted as the best in their fields.  They become key to the success of our client companies.  Our network of thousands of top people in the industry allows us to find candidates quickly.

Costs

We are concerned about containing your costs, listening to your needs, and quickly providing the first progress report with a suitable list of candidates.  Retained search conserves your time and costs while offering the professional representation of experienced recruiters.  Our state-of-the-art databases and extensive networks, built over 20 years, enable our recruiters to have access to the most up-to-date information in the business.  Fees are based upon a percentage of the annual salary. 

NCC is a professional search firm founded in 1984 to fill the needs of the corporate community. We specialize in both contingency and retained searches. We serve national and international clients. Our nationwide recruiting efforts seek out the top 20% of candidates from their respective fields. These top 20% are usually people who are already employed. Our recruiters seek them out, and bring these hidden prospects to you. Our searches for clients include technical and executive level candidates, for both contract and career positions.

Offices
We have four offices to serve you. For service to Northern California, we have an office located in the San Francisco bay area. For Southern California, our corporate office is in beautiful Santa Barbara and we have branch offices in Ventura and Westlake Village. This enables us to provide service from the Bay Area through the Tri-Counties to the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Each office has top-notch recruiters or "Head Hunters", which recruit nationwide. Each recruiter specializes in a particular field, so the candidates they refer to you are sure to meet our stringent top 20% requisite.

Memberships
Our best success comes from the people we place, who have been targeted as the best in their fields. They become key to the success of our client companies. Our network of thousands of top people in the industry allows us to find candidates quickly. This allows us to expand our candidate database in helping you with your employment needs. Additionally, we hold memberships and affiliations with many recruiting agencies and networks. We belong to NPA, a consortium of 400 recruiting companies in the United States and Canada. We are also a member of the Recruiter's On-line Network. Additionally, we are a part of the Nationwide Interchange Service, and became a charter member of their Recruiters Exchange Program.

NCC offers a personal approach to contingency or retained searches. We know how to listen to your needs, prepare your position descriptions and offer letters, and target the best candidates for your company. The best candidates are already working and are not generally looking for a career change. Our professional recruiters locate those hidden prospects. We conduct extensive background and reference checks of candidates via their peers as well as present and past employers. We pre-screen prospects with face-to-face interviews. This means bringing the candidate to us, or our recruiters to the candidate.

Principles
Our principles at NCC have brought our company to the forefront of recruitment. We are concerned about containing your costs, listening to your needs, and quickly providing the first progress report with a suitable list of candidates.
