Sterling-Hoffman is a management consulting firm that represents venture capital firms and global corporations in matters of executive-search, leadership evaluation, and corporate development. We strive to serve as a trusted business advisor to CEOs, HR leaders, and Investors who are serious about talent acquisition, recruitment, and retention.

Conceived originally as a boutique search firm to serve the needs of silicon valley’s growing technology companies, Sterling-Hoffman has established a global presence and has conducted executive recruitment projects for clients in over 100 cities around the globe. From San Francisco to New York. Vancouver to Toronto. New Delhi to Chennai. London to Beijing….

Global business ambitions require companies to attract global talent. Sterling-Hoffman can help.

Confidence flows from Competence

The key to our success is simple: superior domain expertise in the vertical industries we serve, built upon a relentless obsession with understanding the business needs of our clients. Evaluating executive-level talent requires understanding your industry and your company’s place in the competitive landscape. Most search firms will memorize your elevator statement and assume their job is done. Sterling-Hoffman will study the hiring practices and profiles of your competitors prior to commencing a search. We behave like we own shares in your company – and in many cases, we’re happy to accept equity in lieu of cash for business models that we believe in.
