BOYLE OGATA BREGMAN
IS BRINGING LEADERS TO SMART COMPANIES.

By providing high quality executive search services, as well as management and organization consulting services to our clients, BOYLE OGATA BREGMAN seeks to become a strategic ally to our clients, adding value to their organizational development by going well beyond the scope of service usually provided by other search firms.

BOYLE OGATA BREGMAN utilizes a unique process known as The Performance-Based Search System to ensure that our clients can hire outstanding individuals for senior management positions, individuals that make a positive contribution to the company's bottom line profitability.

HISTORY

The J. Michael Group was formed by J. Michael Boyle and Keith Ogata in 1979. The firm name was changed to BOYLE OGATA in 1996.

The company focused initially on aerospace clients, including a substantial amount of placement for Northrop, involving management level and executive positions for the massive hiring plan to staff the B-2 Stealth Bomber program.

As the aerospace prime industry began to slow down, the founders expanded into other types of aerospace and high-tech companies and entrepreneurial start-ups, especially those funded by venture capital. This broad base of business enabled the company to present itself as a "Generalist", but with specific expertise in certain areas.

In 1994, Mark Bregman joined the firm, and the three partners transformed the company into a retained search firm focusing on high level management positions. With the introduction of The Performance-Based Search System in 1995, the company was able to utilize a unique process that addresses every aspect of a client's hiring program, from the initial identification of a potential need to hire, through development of the Performance-Based Position Profile to evaluation of candidates, hiring, providing the new executive's business plan for the first year, and the criteria for evaluating their performance at the end of that year.

In 2001, the partners decided to rename the company BOYLE OGATA BREGMAN.

Client response to The Performance-Based Search System has been 100% favorable, and BOYLE OGATA BREGMAN now attributes 75% of its business to repeat and referral clients.
