A retained boutique search firm that performs searches for executive level candidates and mid level executives. Recruitment of entire teams and departments or individual searches.

Launching an Executive Search firm is not for the risk adverse. Recruitment firms have a 50% failure rate in the first 4 years and by the 5th year only 3% of us are still standing.  With those odds, anyone would be crazy to do it. But that is exactly why The Whitham Group was created.

When Carina Whitham founded the company in 2010 she knew the firm would succeed due to a gap in the market. After hearing many horror stories from candidates about their experiences with Recruiters, it was time to change the game. How a recruitment firm treats candidates is a direct reflection on your organization. If your organization hires a search firm and that firm leaves a negative impression on your candidates, the candidate is likely to tell 10 people about the terrible experience they had with your company. We are your direct link to the front lines of where the war of talent really exists. There is no stronger ambassador to your organization than Whitham Group.

Our mission statement:

To provide an ‘invaluable’ service that greatly contributes to a company’s or individual’s business success while communicating our values that reflect environmental, ethical and social consciousness.
