ABOUT AQ RECRUITING

Adversity Quotient (AQ)

IQ gets leaders hired. EQ helps them lead. AQ is what sets exceptional leaders apart. Every executive we present has the intelligence and emotional intelligence to succeed. We look beyond those expectations to identify leaders with the resilience to thrive through growth, change, and uncertainty. This is what separates good leaders from transformational leaders.
