iDirect Government Technologies |

In 2011, iDirect Government Technologies (iGT) turned to Dahl-Morrow International to hire a senior executive team member for the company. President John Ratigan had in the past hired based on relationships or referrals, but wanted a fresh perspective and management style for this role. He turned to Dahl-Morrow International to help him find the right candidate. iGT is a satellite communications vendor offering IP communications technology that enables constant connectivity for voice, video and data applications in diverse and challenging environments.
The DMI team used a collaborative approach with iGT to find the very best candidate for this executive position. The selection began with a discovery process to learn from Mr. Ratigan exactly what he wanted from this position. DMI’s approach and questions helped him further refine his list of requirements for the position The list of candidates DMI brought in to interview, in the words of Mr. Ratigan, were “nothing but great candidates.”
“It was clear from the beginning that the DMI team are experts at what they do,” said Ratigan. “The collaboration they brought to the table and DMI’s engagement in the entire process, demonstrated their professionalism and level of expertise.”
As a result of this search, DMI was able to place the right person, with the right experience to work with him and his executive team.

Antenova |
|
Antenova is a leading developer and supplier of high performance antennas and antenna modules for wireless communication and consumer electronic devices, such as mobile handsets, portable navigation devices, portable media players, PDAs and laptop computers.
When Antenova sought to expand its operations to Asia, there were employment, legal, logistical and cultural hurdles to overcome, and myriad questions to answer: How would employment regulations in the chosen country affect personnel decisions? Could there be hidden costs associated with setting up shop in Asia? What might be the ramifications of shutting down if the new operation did not succeed? Antenova turned to DMI for both executive placement and business guidance.
DMI had already worked with Antenova for ten years, placing top executives and board members at their Cambridge, U.K. headquarters, so DMI knew the company’s culture, its industry and what they were looking for. For the expansion to Taiwan, DMI helped them work through business and logistical issues and recruited top executives throughout the Pacific Rim. Greg McCray, Antenova’s President and CEO, said that DMI’s understanding of his company was indispensible, and that for him, there is no other choice than DMI:
“Dahl-Morrow International understands my company, the people and the skill sets I need. Their feedback can add to and help define my initial candidate description, for the better. They are able to identify my business needs and other firms don’t do that. Dahl-Morrow is more interested in doing a good job for me. They always come through with excellent candidates. They are supportive, friendly and always do the right thing. They don’t just say what I want to hear. They are straight shooters. We don’t worry about who to use – the choice is Dahl-Morrow.”

As a result, DMI was able to place many critical senior positions, including vice president of engineering and other key roles. The relationship continues.
Bill Schuster, chief operations officer of GeoEye, wanted a firm with personal connections and service, a willingness to listen and the flexibility to revise search expectations as needed. He turned to DMI, which he recognized for its collaboration, commitment and quality.
“Andy Steinem, from DMI, takes the time to understand what we are looking for and with her in-depth industry knowledge, provides insight beyond the job specification as to what candidate would work. And I have never seen such a high level of customer service. I have used the large firms before, and you can’t get them to call back. If you call DMI, they call you right back. They provide very personal customer service with the backing of great industry contacts.”
