WREN Consulting Method
Whet
Like the whetstone in our logo, the sharper the beginnings of a search, the more successful the end. Wren Consulting begins each search with an initial client survey and in-depth consultation meetings. The goal is to understand the culture, priorities, and mission critical nature of a search, sharpen the profile by which candidates will be evaluated, and most importantly, unify the hiring team on a common vision for the successful candidate.
Research
Wren Consulting conducts deep market research according to the candidate profile and connects with candidates by networking, referrals, and cold outreach. Interviews in multiple phases and presents fitting and interested candidates to the client. Feedback from the client is essential in this phase for further profile sharpening.
Engage
Clients engage with candidates of interest in their own interview process. Wren Consulting coordinates and supports all interview scheduling and follow-ups, as necessary.
Navigate
Because of relationship building early in the process, Wren Consulting is poised to navigate the final negotiations, references, and closing of candidates.
About Wren Consulting
Founded in 2017, Wren Consulting is an executive search firm specializing in sales and executive leadership searches in the SaaS industry.
​
What makes Wren Consulting different from other search firms is that David Wren conducts all searches personally, rather than delegate searches to more junior recruiters. This allows for a more relational methodology of executive search and more experienced discernment in candidate submission.
​
Wren Consulting utilizes the WREN Search Method, which prioritizes relationships with clients and candidates and in-depth interviewing to place better fitting candidates for longer term placements. In an industry where job hopping is common, Wren Consulting strives for alignment between client and candidate rather than the more transactional staffing model.
