New York, NY - December 10, 2008 -
C-suite Corporation has been selected by Goldline Research as one of the Leading Executive Search Firms & Staffing Agencies of the Northeast US. The list of the Leading Executive Search Firms & Staffing Agencies of the Northeast US is scheduled to be published in the December 22nd issue of Forbes.
Barbara Marchetti, President and Owner of C-suite states, “As a boutique provider of executive intelligence to fashion, luxury goods, retail, health & beauty, financial services and advertising & creative services, it is refreshing to be recognized as a leader based on quality standards and innovation in service, distinct offerings and a fiscally sound pricing structure rather than based on size and volume.”
“The selected providers truly distinguished themselves during our evaluation of the industry,” said James King, Analyst, Goldline Research. “Those selected met or exceeded every expectation we have for a holistic, client-centric approach”
Marchetti states, “the standard industry model is very much similar to the real-estate industry: my gig, my clients, my candidates, where the incentive to fill is based on which candidate will provide the highest commission to the recruiter. We’ve eliminated the ‘my’ out of our organization by embracing a collaborative, team-approach to managing each and every project and have omitted the push of more expensive candidates by offering flat fee structures. This, coupled with our providing various options for clients to access executive intelligence, embodies a true client-centric model.”
Goldline Research is a third-party, independent research firm specializing in evaluating professional services providers. Goldline Research undertakes an extensive, in-depth research process to review all qualified candidates in a respective area. Its proprietary research process includes individual interviews and quantitative analysis of key data, as well as customer reference checks to confirm high levels of customer service. Those that earn Goldline Research’s designation demonstrate a commitment to service unparalleled in their industry.

New York, NY – October 15, 2008 – C-suite Corporation, the premier provider of executive talent and consulting for C-level executives in the fashion, luxury goods, retail, beauty, financial services and creative & marketing services, sponsored The Executive Intelligence Forum on Tuesday, October 14th. An invitation-only event, the EIF is a quarterly roundtable that fosters an interactive exchange of ideas regarding industry hot topics and to share communal strategies among chief executive officers.
At the renowned media-centric Michael’s Restaurant in New York City, the keynote speaker was Robert Reiss, radio host of the nationally syndicated The Ceo Show. As author of Golf & The Art of Customer Service and with over 600,000 weekly listeners, Mr. Reiss led an active discussion with the fashion and luxury goods C-level executives on the timely topic “Survival of The Fittest: Driving the Customer Experience form the CEO Level.”
“In this challenging market every company is looking for a silver bullet. Robert’s discussion reminded executives that customer service is not a ‘nice to have’ but a ‘must have’ that begins at the CEO level,” stated Barbara Marchetti, President of C-suite. “The disconnect that exists for many has much to do with the disparity between service standards for customers/clients and service standards for internal constituents, that is, employees. Those organizations that embody a true customer employer organization will not only survive, but win.”

Beware, CMO: A Temp Might Steal Your Post
Economy Stokes Trend Toward Short-Term Hires in Marketing Suite
By Jack Neff
Published: September 08, 2008
BATAVIA, Ohio (AdAge.com) -- The hard times facing the marketing
industry may be only temporary, but so, it turns out, are a lot of the
jobs.
With an increasing number of companies looking to reduce the
full-time head counts in their marketing departments, and a glut of
experienced baby boomers available to do consulting stints, a growing
number of marketers are looking to fill brand-manager, project-leader
and even marketing-director positions with short-term employees.
A trend tracker on Indeed, a search engine that scans U.S. job
listings throughout the internet, shows a sharp spike since May on
listings that include the word "temporary" in ads seeking marketing
managers, directors and researchers. The spike punctuates a general
uptick in such marketing listings relative to all postings since 2005.
The percentage of online job listings containing the words
"temporary," "marketing" and "director" surged roughly 50% between May
1 and July 31, according to Indeed.com, even though the trend line for
just "marketing" and "director" remained flat during the period.
"I'm finding a lot more companies now are [using] contract
employees and consultants at the higher-level jobs, such as director of
marketing and senior brand managers," said Michael Carrillo, president
of CPG Jobs, which operates the job site CPGjoblist. He also works as a
recruiter.
While the move is clearly aimed at controlling head counts and
cutting costs, Mr. Carrillo said he believes demographic factors are at
play, such as baby-boomer employees who are downsized out of positions
but aren't ready to retire and have valuable experience.
Broad range of marketers
A variety of firms specialize in the
burgeoning area, including conventional temporary-service firms such as
Kelly Services and Manpower. They're seeing temporary marketing jobs on
the rise even as temporary employment overall has declined steadily
since early 2007 due to the slowing economy.
The surge appears to be coming from a surprisingly broad array of marketers, as well as old and new media.
An ad last week from Creative Group, a unit of Robert Half
International, for an unnamed Southern California beauty marketer seeks
a marketing director for a temporary assignment possibly converting to
full-time -- and offers someone with eight-plus years of industry
experience $50 to $60 an hour.
Apparently the same Southern California beauty marketer seeks
to round out the team with a product-development manager at $20 to $30
an hour, a bilingual media planner at $25 to $35 an hour and a
"marketing guru" at $43 to $50 an hour. Creative Group stands to be the
employer of the outsourced team.
Media companies also appear to be stepping up temporary hires.
Among temporary positions advertised online: a sales and marketing
coordinator for Time Warner's Health.com; a marketing program manager
for EchoStar's Sling Media, marketer of SlingBox; and a site manager
whose duties would include marketing of a national portal and
social-networking site from Gannett Digital, MomsLikeMe.
"Everybody is looking at head count and ways to reduce it,"
said Joe Hawley, who helped lead the turnaround of Doctor's
Dermatologic Formula for two years before the business was sold to
Procter & Gamble Co. last year.
The veteran of Avon Products, Unilever and Liz Claiborne is
now working as a consultant with his own firm, Hawley Global Partners.
While he's open to another permanent position, he's also plying a
series of consulting gigs and believes marketing -- and even general
management functions -- increasingly will be outsourced in the way
information-technology and human-resources positions have been in
recent years.
Most of these marketers aren't contractors directly through
the employer, he said, but through third-party firms such as Aquent,
which specializes in providing temporary marketing-industry help from
its own pool of permanent employees and says it serves 90 of the
Fortune 100 corporations.
The downside
"You'll look at a company and not be able to
tell who's a contract employee, who's [a permanent employee] from a
third-party resource and who's [an employee of] the company," Mr.
Hawley said.
Of course, the downside can be quality, said Dave Gallagher,
president of Boyden, an Atlanta-based executive-search firm. "Nobody is
going to leave their job," he said, "to be a 90-day temp contractor."
But Mr. Hawley said temps aren't always getting worse deals, and some can even be of higher quality.
"I call it rent to buy," he said, adding that many of the
positions have permanent potential, sometimes involve equity stakes or
involve efforts to bypass corporate salary caps, and can attract people
with broader or more current experience than permanent employees.

NEW YORK, NY (April 21, 2008) – C-suite Corporation, known
for its highly customized retained executive search services at the senior and
C-levels for the fashion, luxury goods, retail, health & beauty, financial services and advertising & creative services, now
offers 3 distinct and cost effective approaches for accessing executive talent.
“We’re in the business of bringing intelligence in the form
of executive talent to our clients so they may achieve their corporate
initiatives,” states Barbara Marchetti, Founder and President of C-suite.
“Given today’s economic situation we have a fiscal responsibility to provide
them with options that are financially prudent. Augmenting our retained search
services with both an interim “temporary” executive practice as well as a
consulting practice allows companies the flexibility to determine which vehicle
will provide the greatest return on their investment.”
The concept of interim executives has been widely used in
other industries such as healthcare, financial services and technology but is
relatively new to the world of fashion and retail. With increased turnover in
the senior ranks, companies are desperate to not lose momentum. Renting “been
there, done that” talent for both short and long term projects, tactical and
strategic, is a viable alternative to hiring a full time executive. “As a
service provider, it is incumbent upon us to help rather than hinder,” adds Ms.
Marchetti. “Creating flexible workforce solutions through synergistic offerings
keeps our client’s best interests front and center.”
In order to insure access to enterprise-wide executive
“intelligence” in a recession-proof manner, C-suite offers:
- Retained
executive search with a flat fee structure
- Interim
“temporary” executives
- Strategic
consulting: licensing, branding, sales and marketing, executive coaching,
and human resources
C-suite’s client roster includes top echelon companies such
as Dolce & Gabbana, Coach, Home Shopping Network, and LL Bean. With offices
in New York City, Boston, and an affiliate in Asia, C-suite’s growth is
directly related to their ability to customize their offerings to the
constantly changing needs of the marketplace.
