Hank Stringer, an Austin-based pioneer in executive search and online search technology, today announced the formation of Stringer Executive Search (Stringer ES) to provide premier executive search services to companies throughout the world.

The new search firm, a joint venture with Austin-based RPO provider Novotus, will leverage a variety of Stringer's award-winning hiring and online search methodologies. Methodologies that Stringer Executive Search is launching provide "Synergistic Impact" and "Synergistic Fit" to help CEOs and executive teams ensure they are focused on hiring the right talent.

Stringer built an international reputation pioneering new executive search techniques in the U.S. and Asia for a number of global companies. He applied that knowledge to Hire.com, one of the early innovators and leaders in online recruitment which he co-founded in 1995. Hire.com provided Internet-based enterprise talent acquisition and management solutions to major corporations and was acquired by Authoria of Waltham, Mass.

"Stringer ES is truly a unique opportunity to combine my three decades of search expertise with my executive operating experience," Stringer said. "Moreover, recruitment technology innovation allows me to bring to the market for the first time, an executive search firm powered by leading-edge technology, providing customers an efficient and transparent executive search experience that results in greater bottom-line results."

Stringer Executive Search will focus on director to C-level positions for marketing and sales, product marketing, product management, product development, operations and talent management. In addition, Stringer ES will partner with Austin-based RPO search firm, Novotus, which like Stringer, has gained a global reputation for its unique recruiting methods and technologies.

"Increasingly, many of our clients ask us to get involved in senior-level assignments, both in the U.S. and abroad," said Novotus CEO Mike Mayeux. "And they are expecting an executive search solution that is different and innovative, along the lines of our RPO work. There are only a few people in the country who have the deep search industry knowledge of Hank Stringer.

"When you combine that with the experience he has as an executive who has run fast-growing, industry-leading organizations, he brings an ability to provide executive search services in a fashion that we believe is unique in the industry. This partnership will allow all of us to continue to be innovators in search and recruiting today, and define where it is going tomorrow."
