Founded in 1999 by former National Football League wide receiver Craig Chrest, The Executive Headhunter Group locates jobs for Top Gun executives and matches investment seekers with private equity and strategic buyers. Located in Houston, The Executive Headhunter Group utilizes its network of contacts and decades of corporate experience to achieve a job placement rate of 70 percent for national and international executives, even in a weak economy.

Proactive in its approach, The Executive Headhunter Group focuses on a client’s experiences, skills, geographical preferences, and career goals. Without submitting resumes to dozens of potential employers, the process involves locating openings, researching the companies and their decision makers, and tailoring each client’s package accordingly. This includes honing in on commonalities between the job seeker and employers to provide additional advantages. The Executive Headhunter Group assists the client in obtaining an interview and remains hands-on during each step, including salary negotiations.

In addition to job-seeking executives, clients of The Executive Headhunter Group include private equity organizations, investment bankers, turnaround and restructuring outfits, finance companies, and law firms. Acting as a business recruiter, The Executive Headhunter Group matches entities in need of funding with those looking to invest. Such brokering includes bringing investors together with finance executives that would like to operate businesses but lacking the necessary acquisition capital. Other matches made by The Executive Headhunter Group range from the acquisition of $5 million in startup funds by a South American gold-mining company to the sale of a $1 billion business owned by a publicly-traded defense manufacturer.
