Tabitha Williams, Founder and CEOWilliams Exec Solutions (WES), an executive search and consulting firm, emerges as a key player with the insight, experience and viewpoint focused on filling executive level coverage gaps in organizations. WES’s selling point lies in its expertise to seamlessly embed diverse sourcing and talent into its executive search processes to execute searches or partner with clients to help them optimize their talent acquisition teams. The company, working across industries and functions, provides data driven search and intelligence products to maximize the recruitment of individuals from all backgrounds, races, and cultures, to position clients to make informed decisions that support talent planning and hiring.
“Our company was launched to provide the customer centric inclusive search services and products I was challenged to find as a recruiting executive. I saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the market to support hiring for all talent and provide consultative services and training to equip TA teams with the skills needed to execute their hiring strategies. We want our clients to be informed and positioned to hire. They never have to wonder if they are seeing the market when they are presented with all talent and accompanying intelligence,” says Tabitha Williams, founder and CEO of Williams Exec Solutions.
Under the leadership of Williams, the company brings a wealth of recruitment experience to the table, garnered from working for firms including Whitehead Mann (now part of Korn Ferry), Amazon and JPMorgan Chase (JPMC). Her most impactful role, prior to WES, was her final role at JPMC, where she designed and executed the sourcing strategy used to identify and hire a record number of Black executive’s firm wide as the Head of Operations and Sourcing for the Advancing Black Leaders Team. She says, “When someone asks me to do what they think might be impossible I love nothing more than showing them the possibilities. Talent, in and outside of industry, was open to engagement, and most do not realize we connected with talent of all backgrounds which resulted in hiring more than just Black executives. You cannot effectively do this work and only look at one segment of the market because people do not exist in vacuums in the work environment.”
WES understands the challenges organizations face to design inclusive recruiting strategies that help them meet their hiring goals. Its expert consulting services and learning products help businesses drive accountability and deliver more diverse hiring results by advising their executives and training their TA teams. These interactive and targeted training sessions enable recruiters to improve sourcing skills, market outreach, presentation, and strategically use analytics, so they are empowered to identify all talent, efficiently map, engage and build inclusive talent slates and pipelines.
