What Is the SRA Network?
Sanford Rose Associates® is a network of independently-owned executive search firms operating under a shared methodology and quality standard. Each office is led by a search professional with deep expertise in their specific market — meaning clients receive the focused attention of a boutique specialist, backed by the infrastructure, tools, and reach of a national organization.
SRA’s affiliations with Kaye/Bassman International, Next Level Exchange, and Next Level Marketing Communications give network members — and by extension, their clients — access to capabilities that simply don’t exist elsewhere in the search industry.
What This Means for Our Clients
Deep Specialization
SRA office owners average 20+ years of experience in the markets they serve. That translates to a precise understanding of what clients actually need — not just what the job description says.
Access to Top Talent
The best candidates aren’t on job boards. SRA offices have spent decades earning the right to be trusted advisors to the top tier of talent — relationships built over years, not cold outreach.
Expanded Service Capabilities
Beyond placement, SRA members can provide behavioral profiling, video interviewing, competitive compensation analysis, and internal training seminars on recruiting, onboarding, and retention.
Retention Focus
SRA’s mission extends beyond placement. The parent company has been named “#1 Best Company to Work For” on four separate occasions — and offers consulting services to clients building cultures of performance and retention.
Recognized Expertise
SRA owners and consultants are regularly called upon as subject matter experts by major media — including The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Fortune, Business Week, Bloomberg, and CNN. That recognition reflects the depth of knowledge SRA professionals bring to the work.
As an affiliate of SRA, Next Level Exchange is recognized as the #1 Leading Training Organization for the search industry, having trained over 1,000 recruiting firm organizations across more than 30 countries. SRA isn’t just practicing the best standards of executive search — it’s actively teaching them across the industry.
