ABOUT

AN EYE FOR TALENT. AN INSTINCT FOR THE RIGHT FIT.

When it comes to understanding the DNA of a Corporate Leadership Team, not all Executive Search firms are created equal. NR Search was born from a storied history from both the retail and manufacturing industries – with experience ranging from in-the-trenches management to upper-echlon brick and mortar specialty operations and merchandising to Start-up, vertically integrated retail and manufacturing partnerships.

What’s more, we’re agents of change, disrupters–forecasting a constantly shifting industry in which leadership positions continue to evolve.

And unlike most Executive Search firms, we don’t stop at C-level management; we build the teams that support them, setting up the entire organization for success. It’s an efficient, flexible and all-encompassing process that achieves results—immediately and for the long-term. Put simply, tactically and strategically, we build our clients’ value by increasing the ROI of their most valuable asset—their leadership.

ABOUT NANCY SHIKOFF, PRESIDENT OF NR SEARCH LLC., Int.

Nancy Shikoff entered the Executive Search Industry after a successful career in retail, manufacturing and start-ups. The foundation of her career began in management at the opening of the Limited Stores first venture into the Chicagoland market…and thanks to Mr Wexner, Nancy quickly learned the value of tireless work, dedication and production at the highest standards-and the ability to think on her feet.

She made her way up the corporate ladder–from multi-store responsibilities to merchandising to vice president: and a member of the Board of Directors for an out-of-country, highly successful international apparel designer and manufacturer, responsible for the development and launch of its USA retail division.

These invaluable career experiences reaffirmed her conviction that an organization’s success is dependent upon the talent of its leadership–and the key management staff who support it. Convinced that Executive Search  was her ultimate calling, she spent three years as Vice President with a highly regarded recruiting firm and attained her MS, Organizational Development/Human Resources, in a rigorous Executive Management program; meanwhile, she continued to build her business— and established the firm NR Search providing unique executive search and recruiting services for C-Level and the Key executive positions supporting them.

Armed with advanced education and the real-life experience of working in every function of the retail and manufacturing industry, Nancy’s business grew quickly. Her natural instinct for unearthing otherwise inaccessible high-level talent—and helping to build the teams that report to them—has resulted in numerous Executive search placements and corporate success stories!
