AI-SUPPORTED · SEARCH-EXPERIENCED · HUMAN-QUALIFIED
Research America has placed field and leadership talent for multi-location businesses for over four decades. SelectPoint brings that same research discipline and industry relationships to a defined-scope, fixed-fee engagement — built for the roles where retained search is more than the situation requires. One flat fee. A qualified slate. No placement markup.
Precise, credible and experienced from the start.
Search Experience
Knowing where to look, who to approach and how to assess fit, motivation and risk is what separates a strong search from a long one. Technology supports that process. It does not replace it.
Structured Research
Disciplined market mapping and documented candidate intelligence create a cleaner process, stronger client visibility and better conversations from the very first meeting.
AI-Supported Workflow
AI accelerates the research process by organizing market data, sharpening outreach and improving candidate documentation. A more efficient search without sacrificing the judgment that determines the outcome.
Technology helps organize the search. Experience determines who earns a closer look.
Management and professional talent across the organization
SelectPoint is designed for management, operations, field leadership, and professional positions where job postings alone are not always the most effective way to reach qualified candidates.
Each engagement begins with a conversation about the position, the market, the reporting structure, the geography, and the candidate profile the position requires. From there, we build a focused search around the hiring need.
Examples may include multi-location operations, HR and talent acquisition, merchandising, category management, supply chain, real estate, and other business-critical management or professional positions.
Defined before outreach begins, no surprises.
SelectPoint offers two fixed-fee search options, based on the level, sensitivity, and scope of the position. You pay for the search process, not the percentage of the candidate’s salary. Pricing for each option is set before outreach begins.
