Board of Directors and/or Advisory Board Member Search
Driving forces such as the changing global climate, uncertain economic times, public consciousness, and diverse values are causing rapid change among organizations like never before. Consequently, the overall role of board and/or advisory governance becomes very critical in guiding these organizations during rapid change.

The BOARD OF DIRECTORS is responsible to the stockholders -— a more progressive perspective is that the board is responsible to the stakeholders, that is, to everyone who is interested and/or can be affected by the organization.

An ADVISORY BOARD though not responsible to stockholders, can be a tremendous complement to the effectiveness of the official, or formal, board of directors as it works to carry out specific, complex, major roles (e.g., financial analysis) or initiative (e.g., construct a building). They bring unique knowledge and skills to complement the knowledge and skills of the more official group (i.e., a board of directors).

Gaines International will strategize with your firm to find an individual or individuals
who will bring unique knowledge and skills to your organization. We will gather,
analyze, and present biographical information of potential candidates to be invited as a member of your board. Our analysis of executives’ accomplishments will illustrate their relevance to specific assignment.

Reference Checking
Those of us in the search industry know, resumes win interviews but references win job offers. Employers agree that checking references is a critical part of the hiring process. Yet the entire process often frustrates everyone.

Gaines International’s objective will be to provide you with written, comprehensive employment reviews of candidates being considered for employment. We will provide you with commentary on candidates’ job performance; verify dates of employment, job titles, registration, and possibly salary. All of our reference checking / employment verification interviews are confidential and are conducted by an experienced member of our staff. You will be content knowing your investment in this new employee will be worth it.
