Our Process: TSS Headhunters in Chicago
Our Chicago recruiters specialize in sourcing executive talent through a personalized service. Our executive search process caters specifically to unique business needs. Factors like the size of the company, available resources, and industry-related differences may contribute to unique staffing requirements. Our first step is always detailed consultation with client companies to establish their individual needs for the leadership role they need filled. The next step is to start the recruitment process.
Our search process covers many factors, including a candidate’s skill set, qualifications, expertise, personality traits, and work ethic. It is important that we know potential candidates in the job market well enough to make informed decisions about the most qualified candidates for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
TSS’s expertise lies in executive recruitment – a specialized staffing area specifically aimed at finding, attracting, and hiring executive-level talent. This includes candidates for senior management and C-suite roles.

At TSS, our team consists of a group of dedicated, passionate professionals with nearly two decades of accumulative hands-on experience in the field of recruitment. Our passionate team has vast expertise, both in their respective fields and the staffing arena, gained from their extensive academic and professional qualifications. These first-hand experiences, along with their technical knowledge and skills, are what guides us in our approach to recruiting.
One such experience, which led to a defining moment in TSS’s history, occurred during our company’s formative years.
Initially, our team made use of a universal strategy – a generic approach to recruitment which we applied to all projects, regardless of client. While we had a very modest client base, this approach had brought us moderate success, which prompted us to continue without altering our technique.
The turning point for our team came when TSS secured a contract with a much larger client than we had previously handled, and we were responsible for sourcing a senior executive for their business. Confident in our past achievements, we applied the same standardized approach, thinking it would yield the same results it had before.
Regrettably, our placement was a flop. The candidate we had provided failed to meet the expectations and requirements of our client and the available position. The members of our team still vividly recall this setback, as it provided us with the crucial insights we needed to finally refine our strategy.
This experience highlighted for us the deficiencies of our one-fits-all method and was essential in teaching us the value of implemented a customized approach instead. From that moment, we made it our mission to provide bespoke solutions in order to help our clients achieve sustainable success.
As a result, TSS has been able to successfully support countless companies in Chicago and around the globe – granting us a reputation for premier quality, reliable recruitment solutions.
TSS is committed to finding a replacement should any of our candidates prove unsuitable for their role or incompatible with the existing team within 90 days of hiring.
While TSS has this safeguard in place for the peace of mind of our clients, we are recognized for our effective and successful candidate placements. We also offer ongoing support following the conclusion of our search, to ensure that candidates are integrated well.
Our success fee is 20%. No upfront costs.
