Positioning

We are positioned in the market as a human talent resources boutique consisting of personalized service, efficiency and adaptability to client and market conditions. We focus on markets and develop insight into the dynamics and mechanisms of the business. Our network in the sector then permits us to attract those candidates that are best prepared, a few perhaps still unknown to companies.


Values and Integrity

In striving for excellence and to assure clients of the value and integrity of our services, Abrahams & Associates:

1.
Accepts only those assignments within the firm's scope of expertise
2.
Establishes written understanding of the objectives, scope and specifications of the services to be provided prior to accepting any assignment
3.
Holds in strictest confidence all information concerning the business affairs of clients and all others with whom we interact during the course of an assignment
4.
Will not recruit, nor cause to be recruited, any person from a client organization for a period of two years after initiation of the most recent assignment, and will disclose, to the client, any and all limitations affecting the scope of the assignment that arises through service to other clients.


Three fundamental ideals

Abrahams & Associates accepts only those assignments for which it is the sole recruiter, thus assuring strict confidentiality throughout the search process. To guarantee a maximum degree of partnership and communication with the client and to assure timely success, Abrahams & Associates consultants adhere to three fundamental ideals:

1.
Affinity
We believe people only acquire services from those they like and believe will deliver. It emerges when mutual interests convene. Affinity to us is about common values and a common vision of the market, of concepts, and of the contribution of people in the work place. We believe it is people who really make the difference. We do not initiate an assignment if these factors are not mutually agreed upon.
2.
Trust
We believe that a successful working relationship is based on trust. Without trust, it is best to not even begin. The confidence resulting from trust is the product of a sound reputation and the continuous pursuit of positive results. Without confidence, the assignment will not be successful. Trust is nothing more than a belief that the person responsible for completing the mission will be successful. When the objectives are clear and mutual, the energy is positive and there will be a motivation, beyond monetary gain, to meet the challenge. Faith and commitment are maximized. This is why we believe that the synchronicity between us and the client’s potential is fundamental throughout the process.
3.
Competence
We believe that competence is the most essential factor in business, since without satisfied clients, new business and favorable references will never occur. Without competence, the assignment will not be successful.
We are committed to the belief that people—dedicated people—really make the difference. At Abrahams & Associates, this is our personal and professional creed.
