Our Services
Greylocke & Company has a very simple approach – “Always be ON”. Our team never stops searching for talent or staying close to the demands and needs of the employment market.
We encourage the same mentality in our clients; the best time to engage Greylocke & Company is before you truly need us. When a permanent search, interim assignment or project requirement is in the early stages of development and perhaps only a “possibility”, time is on your side by involving us as early as possible to help build the foundation for a successful outcome.
Greylocke & Company’s contingent search service delivers “blue-chip” candidates for your most critical hiring needs. We leverage our extensive internal database, our memberships in professional associations and our proprietary network to quickly identify a targeted set of candidates closely matching your requirement. The value proposition of engaging Greylocke & Company is further reinforced with our performance guarantee.
Generally speaking, our clients find that excellent accounting, contracts and compliance professionals are very difficult to locate and attract, even when general unemployment is high, so our recruiters invest in a daily routine that keeps them in perpetual contact with “passive” candidates. We are positioned to undertake a search on our own or in concert with your internal human resources effort.

“We have successfully worked with Greylocke & Co. for nearly eight years, and they have consistently addressed our hiring requirements for Contracts Management and Accounting professionals for both project work and permanent hires. I can always count on them to deliver quality staff within a short timeframe.”
“I have partnered with Greylocke & Co. for close to 7 years, engaging consultants in support of our SAP conversion; hiring a team to manage a multi-billion dollar grant initiative; and hiring a host of permanent financial professionals in an ever-growing department. I even worked with them to successfully identify my replacement after announcing my retirement.”
“Working with Greylocke & Co. to search for our first Chief Financial Officer was a wonderful experience. We knew exactly what we wanted in a CFO for our rapidly growing company, and the Greylocke team acted on our requirement in a way that is simply uncommon. They heard us clearly and delivered for us with perfection. Now, nearly 2 years later, we are thrilled with our CFO and the trusted relationship we have Greylocke.”
“Greylocke has been instrumental in filling 3 of our senior leader positions and a front-line manager position over the last 3 years with a very short turnaround time for each hire. Greylocke made it a point of thoroughly understanding the skill set and qualifications needed for each of these roles so that we were presented with quality candidates whose backgrounds were closely aligned with our need. The hiring process for all 3 positions was very efficient and painless. Greylocke is my “go-to” firm when we are seeking experienced, qualified candidates.”
“After years of searching for the perfect career growth opportunity on my own, but to no avail, working with Greylocke & Company was a true success. They not only identified and matched me into my current position, but also into a company that is just right for me as far as culture, opportunity, growth and sustainability.”
