This week, our CEO, Aileen Alexander, joined Hamilton Lane’s Erik Hirsch and Fox Rothschild’s Mark Morris at The Philadelphia Business Journal’s second annual State of the Economy event. Aileen highlighted the necessity for agile leadership as we approach 2025. She stressed the importance of proactive succession planning and onboarding, noting that 23% of new CEOs this quarter were promoted internally. Aileen also emphasized that the executive search industry is evolving beyond transactions, focusing more on holistic client partnerships and adapting to shifting demographics, AI integration, and emerging technologies. In the face of economic challenges like slowing GDP growth and rising inflation, Aileen remains optimistic about opportunities in hybrid work models and expanded talent pools, while advocating for strategic investments in infrastructure and addressing high business taxes in the Philadelphia region. Let’s continue to collaborate and innovate to turn these challenges into opportunities for success. #Economy2024 #StrategicGrowth #DiversifiedSearchGroup #PhiladelphiaBusiness #StateOfTheEconomy #FutureProofing

We are thrilled to see two of our exceptional Managing Directors, Kim Dukes, CCDP/AP, and TaJuan Wilson, Ed.D., CDE, recognized among Loxo’s 60 Talent Trailblazers this year! ✨ Kim Dukes, representing DSG's Nonprofit and Social Impact Practice (Koya Partners | Diversified Search Group), and TaJuan Wilson from our Education Practice (Storbeck Search | Diversified Search Group), embody the commitment to excellence and innovation that drives our mission forward.

Thank you, Kim and TaJuan, for your commitment to DSG's purpose. 👏 #talent #trailblazers #executivesearch #leadershipexcellence #purpose
TALENT IS EVERYTHING. You know it, we know it. But the talent landscape has shifted rapidly over the last decade — and talent professionals have had to wear a lot of hats in the process. This year, Loxo is recognizing 60 Talent Trailblazers (whether they be recruiters, people leaders, talent professionals, or creative-thinkers) who are committed to shaking up the space and making a massive impact on the industry. Loxo was born, like most great things are, out of the belief that there must be a better way: to recruit, to hire, to work. After all: most of us spend more of our waking time at work than anywhere else. So what could be more impactful than helping people find the best possible fit for them? What could be more rewarding than finding a way for people to feel as fulfilled as possible in the place where they spend the majority of their time? While technology is important, the future of talent acquisition and recruitment looks brighter thanks to: the change-makers, the risk-takers, the movers-and-shakers, the match-makers. There are HUNDREDS of people who we could've included on this list — all deserving — but for now we honed in on 60. Thank you to all of you for your hard work in making this industry better — during the good times and the bad, through changing market conditions, tough hiring markets, and so many other challenges. You and your contributions deserve to be recognized & celebrated. This one’s for you!
