We made this little beauty 5 years ago, just before we launched and has been in the archives…we tried really hard to make a professional corporate video that would showcase we are REALLY good and that BIG companies should work with us! But in the end like many other aspects of our business and built into our core values, we ended up not taking ourselves too seriously and having a laugh! Thank you for the last 5 years, we appreciate the 4k followers, the many clients who have trusted us with their most mission critical roles, the executives who have allowed us to guide your careers and especially our amazing team members and families who have played their role in making Emu the successful and thriving contemporary search firm it is today. We hope you enjoy it and here’s to many more years! #execsearch #humanfirst #refreshinglydifferent Credit: Burninghouse and especially the legendary Tim Anderson (we finally put it out there!)
