During my time with SAM, I have witnessed great growth and success as the business model has moved into new international markets. SAM’s market position of great speed at a great price seems to have a resonance where ever it’s applied. 

I really pleased to see that we have now established 4 USA offices. Geographically they’re set on the Eastern side, but the USA is one network in one market, so geography is almost irrelevant, and the web makes borders disappear anyway.

Having spent quite a while working and managing a USA company with a UK parent, I know that SAM is well placed to take as much market share in the USA as it has done elsewhere. The American market looks for value as much as anywhere else, and the fact we can bring a truly international network to bear adds value to our proposition – especially to companies with an international footprint.

This morning I spoke with my colleague David Dunsmuir (born in Scotland and a Hearts supporter, so can’t be all bad) who’s based in Atlanta. It’s clear he’s keen to share the SAM success model around and set ourselves up against those who have been around headhunting in the USA for rather longer – they have a reputation, but they also have an infrastructure that adds to their cost and their clutter – our opportunity again!

Anybody wanting a different perspective on headhunting in the USA should either email David on dd@samheadhunting.com or call him at + 1 404 431 9043
