About Us

The heart and soul of Cornerstone entails maximizing service to client organizations. Our primary core competency is retained executive search—evaluating internal and external leadership to optimize the harmony and performance of our clients. To complement this retained executive search service, we have supplemented Cornerstone with other core competences that clients have recommended as “best of breed” (see below).

Our Mission Statement:

The mission of Cornerstone International Group is to accelerate the success of each of our clients by providing top-quality consulting services that bring together (1) the global reach and network resources of our international consulting organization, combined with (2) the personal service and undivided attention delivered by each of our local offices.

Best of Breed Supplemental Services:

Adjunct to our Cornerstone Offices offering retained executive search, we have pre-screened (via client recommendations) additional core competencies that add value to our client services. Examples of these additional services are as follows:

• Board Assessment & Board Search.
• Executive Onboarding.
• Audits of Existing Management.
• Outplacement (totally separate from search division)
• Compensation & Benefits.
• Leadership Appraisal for Mergers/Acquisitions.
• Employee Investigations & Candidate Background Checks.
• Organizational Development & Training.
• Diversity Search & Consulting (Board & Executive Levels).
• Interim Management.
• Succession Planning (Board and Executive Levels).
• Executive Coaching.
• Outsourcing Pre-Screened World-Class Consultants.

Compensation & Benefits Services:

Certainly one of the key services for attracting and retaining top talent is Compensation & Benefits. The spirit of compensation includes subjective and analytical elements, i.e., how an employer treats its management and staff can be as important as the actual cash compensation in comparison against benchmark data.

In addition to traditional Compensation & Benefits services, we offer our clients “Turn Key” packages for foreign country expansion—compensation packages that are up-to-date in meeting the legal and tax requirements of each local jurisdiction. Such turn-key packages allow an employer to immediately enter a new market without worrying about government compliance issues (contact IBIS Advisors: rpolak@ibisadvisors.com ).
