Founded in 1999 by Managing Director Stephen Pollard, the firm focuses deeply on the Restaurant/Hospitality/Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Advertising sectors, leveraging an extensive confidential network and research-driven methodology to deliver qualified shortlists faster. Their consultants invest the time to understand each client’s strategy, culture, and success criteria, then build customized search strategies that include rigorous needs assessment, role specification, targeted industry and company mapping, proactive sourcing, in-depth interviews, and preliminary referencing, followed by structured candidate presentation, interview orchestration, thorough final referencing, and offer and assimilation support. Pollard Search Group maintains a selective portfolio of engagements to ensure senior-level attention and responsiveness, avoids the restrictive off-limits constraints common at larger firms, and commits to frequent, transparent communication throughout a typical 45–90 day search timeline. The team’s track record spans C-suite and senior leadership roles such as President, CFO, CMO, COO, CPO, CCO, SVP Supply Chain, VP Development and Construction, VP Operations, VP Category Management, VP R&D (Food), Director-level leaders across HR, Training/L&D, CRM, Culinary, Real Estate, and Operations, as well as senior creative and digital leadership within advertising. Their client roster includes prominent restaurant brands, retail and fitness concepts, CPG companies, and advertising agencies, reflecting breadth across food and beverage, multi-unit operations, and marketing services. Known for diligence, creativity, and tenacity, the firm is measured by outcomes: presenting only those candidates who fit the role and culture and who can deliver sustained results. Pollard Search Group upholds strict confidentiality and professional ethics and does not discriminate for any unlawful reason, partnering with organizations from growth-stage businesses to large, publicly traded enterprises to secure the candidate of choice.
