The Good Search Gains National Recognition
The Good Search of Bradford Executive Research, LLC Named and Ranked 38th among Connecticut’s Top 100 Women Owned Business List
WESTPORT, CT, 2/13/08 In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural internet site, recently named The Good Search as one of the Top Businesses in the state of Connecticut (Div100)”.
The Div100 is the 8th annual listing of the Connecticut’s top 100 women-owned businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent Connecticut’s top diversity earners and challenge the long-held notion that a women-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with women owned companies.
The Impact of Women Owned Business
“Women businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with,” said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business.”
Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from women owned companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
Krista Bradford, Founder & President, The Good Search of Westport, Connecticut commented:
“We are delighted that our executive search firm has been chosen among the leading women-owned businesses in the state of Connecticut. It is an honor we intend to ‘pay forward’ in our practice. We will do so by continuing to advocate for diversity and inclusion in our recruitment of the best and brightest executives and technologists to some of the world’s most powerful and successful companies.”
The Div100
The Div100 is a classification that represents the top 100 women-owned businesses in the state of Connecticut in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large organizational buyers throughout the country that do business with multicultural and women-owned businesses use the list. The Div500 is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
The Good Search will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s “8th Annual Multicultural Business Conference”, taking place April 23 - 25, 2008 at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort in Orlando, Florida.
Ms. Bradford continued:
“As the first executive search practice devoted to delivering great candidates to great companies that also happen to be good, we welcome the recognition brought by this honor. Increasingly, the best candidates prefer to work at companies that are the employers-of-choice that we serve. The Good Search serves as an extension of their good branding, and as a result, we are able to recruit candidates to those companies more effectively.”
About The Good Search
The Good Search is as new kind of search firm in a good many ways. It is the first search firm committed to delivering star talent to great companies that also happen to be good because, increasingly, the senior executives and technologists whom corporations most need to attract prefer to work for successful companies that are employers-of-choice. As a result, The Good Search is fast becoming the search-firm-of-choice for luminaries, thought leaders, and up and coming stars as well as to employers-of-choice who are picky about what search firms represent their good name. Of course, The Good Search searches better by powering every engagement with expert human capital intelligence, a high-performance engine that delivers ideal candidates faster and more affordably. It’s as if we’ve got a Ferrari under the hood. A growing number of clients are discovering just how great it is to be good. For more information, visit www.thegoodsearch.net.
