What is the Big Fish talent approach?

  • Big Talent

    Our Big Fish candidates are changemakers and influencers. They possess both tangible and intangible skills required to be a catalyst to take your company or organization to the next level. Finding the right candidate is more than just filling a position to us.

    We follow David Ogilvy’s hiring guidance:

    “If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.”

    ―David Ogilvy, Ogilvy on Advertising

  • Big Fit

    At Big Fish, we pride ourselves in taking the time to understand the core values that underlie your organization.

    Not every big fish is a fit for your culture; rarely are you going to cast your net into the sea and reel in the perfect catch.  

    At Big Fish, we not only help you reel in the quality talent you want, but we take the time to understand the skills and values that will make the right candidate succeed in your unique pond.
