The right candidate may never see your job posting. 👀

That’s the problem.

When qualified talent isn’t actively looking, posting a role and waiting for applicants will only take you so far.

That’s where an executive search partner makes a difference.

At BrainWorks, we leverage decades of relationships and industry networks to reach exceptional talent that isn’t necessarily sitting in a job search. And because great candidates don’t always come from the most obvious places, we look beyond industry labels to identify people whose skills, leadership experience, and expertise can translate to your organization.

When the right person isn’t applying, you must know where and how to find them.
That’s where we come in. 🤝

Are you paying enough to keep your best sales leaders? 💰

The market for top CPG Sales Leaders is changing fast.

As AI reshapes commercial strategy, direct-to-consumer continues to grow, and top performers have more options than ever; compensation has become a competitive advantage—not just a budgeting exercise.

If your salary strategy hasn’t evolved with the market, you could lose top talent before the interview even begins.

Our latest blog breaks down:

✅ Current CPG Sales Leader compensation benchmarks

✅ What’s driving higher executive pay

✅ The market trends every hiring leader should know

Think top executives are just leaving for more money? 💰

Think again.

The most sought-after leaders are already well-compensated. What often motivates them to make a move is the opportunity behind the role: greater impact, a compelling mission, career challenges, and the ability to shape the future of an organization.

That’s why attracting top executive talent requires more than just a competitive compensation package. It requires understanding what motivates high-performing leaders and knowing how to position an opportunity in a way that resonates.

At BrainWorks, we help organizations do more than find exceptional talent; we help them tell a compelling story that attracts it.

33 years. Countless partnerships. An incredible legacy. 🏆

Today, we’re celebrating 33 years of Guy Gomis at BrainWorks.

As SVP and National Practice Leader of our AI, Data/Data Science/Analytics & Tech practice, Guy has spent more than three decades setting the standard for what consistency, excellence, and leadership look like. His impact can be seen not only in the clients and candidates he’s supported, but in the culture he’s helped build and the colleagues he’s inspired along the way.

When asked about this milestone, Guy shared that none of it would have been possible without the trust of his clients, the partnerships with his candidates, the support of his BrainWorks teammates, and the unwavering encouragement of his amazing family.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything Guy has contributed over the past 33 years. Congratulations on this remarkable BWversary, Guy, and here’s to many more! 🙌

The best real estate attorneys know how to move a deal forward. 🏢💰

This Corporate Real Estate Attorney brings the kind of broad, hands-on experience that makes an immediate impact. They’ve represented landlords, tenants, developers, buyers, and sellers across commercial real estate matters, managing everything from due diligence and lease negotiations through closing.

Their experience spans purchase and sale agreements, retail leases, LOIs, amendments, SNDAs, estoppels, and more, while also advising business teams on lease compliance, site selection, construction and maintenance issues, landlord disputes, risk, and complex property matters.

In other words, they’re not just reviewing documents—they're helping businesses make smart decisions, navigate complexity, and get deals done. If your team is looking for a Corporate Real Estate Attorney who can step in and add value from day one, Porche Jones would love to introduce you. 🤝

We asked our practice leaders one question: What are you seeing in the market right now?

Three answers. Three shifts every hiring leader needs on their radar. 👀

1. Budget-conscious ≠ compromise. Top performers deliver executive-level impact without executive-level price tags.

2. Comp opens the door. It doesn't close the deal. Growth, flexibility, and real leadership opportunities are what candidates say yes to.

3. The best employers have stopped competing on salary alone. They're winning on experience.

Everyone’s racing to hire AI talent in accounting and finance. 💻

But as Bowen Knarr, VP and Interim Accounting & Finance Practice Leader, points out in this clip from the KPMG podcast, the real answer isn’t chasing someone who’s used to one specific AI tool for three months.

The leaders who will actually move AI initiatives forward tend to look very familiar:

✅Adaptable

✅ High grit

✅ Lifelong learners

✅ Proven operators in systems and transformation

AI can be taught. Mindset and problem-solving can’t.

Your employees aren’t burning out for the reasons you think. 🤔

Burnout isn’t one-size-fits-all. An early-career employee, a manager, and a CEO can all be burned out—but for completely different reasons.

The organizations that retain top talent don’t just ask people to be more resilient. They recognize where burnout starts, why it happens at every level of the org chart, and redesign work before great people walk away.

This article from Harvard Business Review breaks down what burnout really looks like across an organization—and what leaders can do to prevent it.
