A boutique firm, by design

NXSTEP Executive Search Consultants LLC is a family-owned search firm based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Stamford, Connecticut, working nationwide.

For more than two decades, we've built relationships throughout the insurance brokerage space, with producers, with leadership, and with the organizations that depend on both. Those relationships are the firm. They cannot be bought, automated, or scaled quickly, which is precisely why they hold their value.

We deliberately stay small. A boutique practice means every search is conducted personally by people who know the industry, rather than routed through a team of coordinators working from a script. It also means we take on a limited number of searches at once, and we turn down work that we are not the right firm for.

Being family-owned shapes how we operate. There is no quarterly placement target pushing us to force a match, and no incentive to move someone who should stay where they are. We're never afraid to tell someone to stay put if it's in their best interest.

Our position

What we are, and what we are not

We are not a staffing agency and we do not work on volume. We do not send unscreened resumes, and we do not measure our work in submissions.

We are a specialized search partner for organizations that need people who are difficult to find, and a discreet career consultant for the insurance professionals we approach.

For the talent that isn't looking, and the organizations trying to find them
