Unparalleled PR, Communications, and Marketing Executive Search Services for Clients Nationwide

A Boutique Executive Search Firm
with Nationwide Reach

Effective talent acquisition isn’t about finding the best candidate among whoever happens to be looking for a job. The strongest professionals are rarely the ones submitting resumes. They’re typically employed, performing well, and nowhere near a job board. These passive candidates only move when the right opportunity is brought to them directly, by someone they trust. That’s where Red Oak Executive Search comes in.

Red Oak Executive Search is a boutique executive search firm in New Jersey founded by Greg Dubas.

Red Oak does not operate like a resume pipeline. We focus on quality, not quantity.
