About Jessie King

Sometimes the status quo in an industry just needs to be challenged. Hard. At Avant Executive Search & Talent Advisory we\'re shaking things up by bringing a positively differentiated experience to executive search and human capital consulting including diversity and inclusion, talent mapping and compensation analysis. Here\'s what\'s positively differentiated about it: We spend less time trying to create an air of prestige and exclusivity about our firm and more time creating a practice that offers deep expertise earned as former executive operators in an accessible, authentic and inclusive fashion. We\'re huge believers in teamwork. We pitch together as senior partners and execute the same way to deliver better, faster results. No candidate or client facing work is ever delegated to associates after the fact because no one wants the old bait and switch routine. We invest in best in class, real time compensation and economic data from payroll servicers and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (never crowdsourced) to provide unmatched accuracy in compensation benchmarking and talent supply analysis. Each search we do provides this data up-front, at no additional fee. We take a data-driven, proactive and measurable approach to achieving greater diversity, helping our clients identify and network with skill-aligned, diverse talent before roles open up. Our commercial terms redefine \"having skin in the game\" by tying a significant portion of each search fee to a placement\'s successful on-boarding and integration.
