CPI was founded with the mission to build a more effective recruiting firm capable of working with sophisticated investors as a valued human capital partner. Upon forming CPI, Brian believed the over-zealous scaling of recruiting firms created a conflict-ridden industry that commoditized a service that conversely requires focus, dedication, loyalty and meaningful representation.

The recruiting industry's paradox is that success breeds growth, and growth requires substantial search volume. We believe the recruiting model breaks down when this occurs, especially when servicing niche industries such as private and public investment. High search volume creates conflicts and dilutes the recruiting process, transforming it from focused representation to brokerage.

Because recruiting is an intimate, management-intensive process, firms require focused, exclusive representation. CPI's low volume/high success approach matched with its comprehensive candidate coverage creates a uniquely effective process.
