Throughout 2023, one work trend we’ve heard about from our clients — and appreciated ourselves — has been the increased opportunity to connect in-person with peers. This has ranged from having more days in the office to meet colleagues IRL, to joining more live events and conferences. In October as a sponsor of Hunt Scanlon’s PE and VC Recruiting Conference in San Francisco, our team experienced these perks again, gaining live insights by esteemed speakers on key topics ranging from attracting top talent, to filling board roles, to new tech tools for AI or interviewing.
With leadership a top theme, Frederickson President Tom Wilson moderated a fireside chat by Gryphon Investors’ Jill Pergande, Managing Director, Human Capital, on Getting the Right Leaders in Place. Jill shared excellent best practices for placing leaders given the stage, maturity and strategic needs of a company.
Keeping this theme going, we’re excited to pave the way for planning new live events and thought leadership activities in 2024. Your valuable input will help shape our plans, ensuring we stay at the forefront of industry trends and insights. Please take 5 minutes to take our survey. Thank you in advance!

In hiring leadership roles, what is known in HR as time to fill is critical. Every week, the “decay” of your open role becomes a growing liability. The risk isn’t just lost finances; it’s also about lost opportunities, halted growth and diminishing team spirit.
Over 28 years, we have gathered firsthand insights into the repercussions of prolonged vacancies of leadership roles. This post examines why time is your enemy after a role has been open too long.
