Conni LaDouceur, Founder and Chief Sourcing Strategist of ExecuQuest Corp., delivers unsurpassed ROI for recruiting solutions via research, sourcing, training and consulting to companies large and small, in the US and abroad. Her passion for the hunt has led EQC and its valued clients to top-notch hiring through multiple years of challenging labor and financial market conditions for over 25 years. The ExecuQuest Corp. Team excels in identifying qualified prospects and successful placements, even in highly specialized fields, using sophisticated research methodologies and technical expertise. Based on the lost art of efficient and ethical telephone talent mapping, these strategic tools, effective for immediate direct hiring and for successful talent pipelining, enable recruiting managers to hold their recruiters accountable to their goals. In an era of picked-over databases and over-relied upon search strings, Conni and her team consistently deliver qualified, unidentifiable talent via efficient cold-calling, identifying the heads-down, doing-their-jobs, gainfully employed, truly passive qualified talent.

Previously with Heidrick & Struggles, Conni has developed the only recruiter and sourcer training program that delivers live, real-time, original telephone research and trains recruiters to efficiently and confidently raise the bar. Search/Research Success™ by ExecuQuest Learning Workshop, has consistently strengthened recruiter skills and increased company team performance, building team recognition with quality hires, improved time-to-fill and greatly reduced agency fees. It is the only program that delivers onsite, ethical, passive candidate identification in organization chart form, from the hiring managers most favored companies, without rusing and in keeping with client companies’ ethical standards and procedures. In Search/Research Success™ by ExecuQuest, Conni calls the clients’ most desirable target companies with your company’s caller ID appearing and identifies by objective qualifications the precise individuals who meet the position specifications. A valuable by-product of this recruiting, not staffing process, is an enriched pipeline.

A graduate of the University of Maine, Conni speaks on strategic search/research solutions, time vs. yield measurements, ethical identification of passive talent, the reeling-in of reluctant, qualified talent, adding value to the business via a consultative approach and improving recruiter/sourcer performance at annual corporate recruiting summits and other professional gatherings.
