Ours is a multi-industry practice and our clients include FORTUNE 500 corporations and emerging growth companies, professional services firms, industry trade associations, and public relations/public affairs consulting firms---throughout the United States and globally.
Each engagement is actively managed by the firm’s founder, Jim Wills, who leveraged a career in communications to enter the search field in New York City in the mid-1980s and formed WCA in 1997.
The objective of Wills Consulting Associates since its inception has been to concentrate on strategically important engagements for a relatively small and ever evolving client base facing unique communications challenges. This business model guarantees the full involvement of the founder in each assignment, supported by project-specific research and administrative staff.
Our corporate communications and public relations search clients benefit from the perspective of an individual who has worked in their profession, possesses an in-depth understanding of their functional needs, appreciates the business environment in which they operate, and is current on their internal and external communications challenges.
Candidates are assured that the individual who brings them into the recruiting process understands their background, skills, and experience. And more important, how those might translate into their professional success in the client organization.
The result is a consultative approach to search that yields engagements of laser-like precision, satisfied clients, and successful candidates.
