What we do
Executive Search
Headquartered in New York City, ByalaSearch has worked with hundreds of national clients with global reach for over 20 years. We take pride in relationship-building with clients and candidates over years as well as an industry-leading retention rate of our placements given their long tenures and the wide range of diversity and experience represented by them.
Alignment & Retention for Teams & Organizations
Alignment within teams begins with listening. We meet with department members to understand how they interpret the mission and how it guides their work. Through a focused survey and facilitated conversations with leadership, we surface gaps in communication and bring leaders and teams together to strengthen shared purpose and clarity.
Team Alignment & Retention
In the face of today’s complex workplace challenges and changes, aligning and retaining a high-performing team are crucial for any organization seeking sustainable success. Our team alignment and retention program directly addresses this need by offering strategic solutions that foster individual growth and team cohesion and enhance retention.
Board Alignment & Consulting
Our Board Alignment & Consulting work supports meaningful alignment between Executive Directors and Boards through a structured, year-long process—individual conversations, board surveys, and ongoing strategic dialogue. When helpful, we participate in board meetings to build understanding.
Our three step search strategy
Intake
The foundation of our strategy starts with deep listening during which we learn about our client’s culture. Understanding this is our special skill. When candidates are a cultural fit, then the search is likely to be successful.
Research
Knowledge of the market is critical. It’s not just about finding people from existing networks. While candidates may already exist within our vast network, we nevertheless incorporate new research with every search we conduct.
Communicate
We communicate with clients throughout the different phases of the search process, starting with the job description, which creates the basis for our interview guide, and ensures consistent, competency-based evaluation of the candidates.
Proven results
Time- and cost-effectiveness
We are highly selective which allows us to focus on our individual client’s specific needs.
Rigorous follow-through
We provide follow-up well after candidates are placed to monitor the transition and to determine if there are any additional ways we can support both client and candidate.
Attention to Detail
We offer constant touchpoints, regularly scheduled check-in calls with clients and candidates. Through our process, we learn and share information to allow the client to best support candidate success.
Long-lasting relationships
We stay in contact. We have worked with some of our clients for more than 20 years, helping them strategically build teams to meet their ever-changing needs.
Let's work together
It all starts with a call to see how we can support your goals.
