The HiringForFit Experience

HiringForFit.com is a website of Cornerside International, Inc , an executive search firm with nearly 25 years of experience in its ranks. Our work has been with Fortune 500 companies solving a variety of staffing issues, including retained search, contingency search, on-site staffing, process consulting and candidate assessments.

What we have uncovered through these many years is 'the key' to successful hiring. Yes, 'the key' to successful hiring is 'Hiring For Fit'. It seems that the key is far simpler than anyone realized. Understanding the key is the simple part ... implementing the key is where we come in.

Our research has polled over 5000 hiring managers about our philosophy only to determine that every executive manager agreed with our philosophy. In almost every case, each executive had their own theory, which was sound but incomplete. Once we divulged our philosophy, with these research managers, every person agreed with our observations. Yes, most resisted at first and needed further explanation, but then the light came on and they agreed that we have uncovered the real reasons for hiring ... in essence, the core motivation for hiring.

As result of our research and experience, we have embarked on a journey to share this knowledge. We started this branch HiringForFit.com and our initial product offering is Selection Consulting and as always, Execitive Search. We are excited to share our expierence.

Throughout his tenure in the external staffing business, he has fostered a belief that a great hire is a win-win situation for both the company and future employee. The only way that this win-win can be acheived is when the needs --- financial, professional, personal, emotional --- of everyone involved have been met. This belief has evolved into a process which is now called ... Hiring For Fit.
