SAN FRANCISCO - Aug. 22, 2018 - PRLog -- Calibre One, a global boutique executive search firm specializing in building diverse leadership teams for technology innovators and companies undergoing digital transformation, today announces that the second quarter of 2018 marked one of its best-ever quarters in terms of its number of executive leadership placements. Among the companies for which Calibre One recently made high-profile placements are AthenaHealth, Birkenstock, GetYourGuide, K2 and Kaptivo.

"We're especially proud of our placement achievements in recent months, given the current talent shortage, especially for tech industry leadership," says Diane McIntyre, Calibre One Managing Partner – New York. "Timing is everything in an ever-increasing war for talent, and you must move quickly in order to secure the best candidates. Since Calibre One has a deep network of thoroughly referenced talent, we are able to help our clients to make the best decisions and move quickly to hire the right candidates to fit their needs."

Calibre One's placement of Birkenstock's new managing director of digital, which took just seven weeks to complete, is perhaps the best example of the firm's recent success.

The job market for executive talent remains "red hot" with no signs of slowing down soon. The 2018 BlueSteps Executive Career Outlook Report (https://www.bluesteps.com/Client/Documents/2018BlueStepsE...) concurs with this, reporting that more than 85 percent of global executives believe that the volume of senior-level executive roles will increase. The report also notes that the technology sector is overwhelmingly forecast to have the most growth.

McIntyre continues, "Calibre One fully expects the 'war for talent' to continue at least for the remainder of this year and into 2019. What makes Calibre One so successful, and sets us apart, is our upfront investment in getting to know a client's team. Our approach yields invaluable insight into the company culture and serves to speed the search process."

Calibre One also notes that it is important to move quickly through your candidate short list, and to streamline the decision-making process. "Finding the right balance between proper vetting and quickly tendering your offer to your selected candidate is key, otherwise you run the risk of losing that perfect fit," adds McIntyre.
