In addition to our recruiting
services, we have also developed a reputation
as a respected source for expert witness services
relating to employment issues. We can provide
research, analyses, and expert testimony in
cases regarding employment disputes. Our past
work with clients has involved the defense of
restrictive covenants vs. right-to-work claims,
the development of exhibits related to "whistle
blower" actions, the mitigation of damages
arising from wrongful discharge lawsuits, the
generation of industry-based "market worth"
documentation, and the evaluation of past job
markets and production of historical help-wanted
listings. Whether your legal battle is in an
Ohio hall of justice, or before the Department
of Labor in Washington, our research and unique
knowledge form an opinion that is valued by
attorneys and courts alike. Below are some of
the cases we've been involved in:
 Wm.
Bush & Carrier Corporation vs. Copeland
Corporation (1989)
Various
vs. NCR Corporation (1989)
Ernst
& Young Case (1993, Hamilton County)
Mosbaugh
vs. Georgia Power Company (1996)
Brooks
vs. Martin Marietta Energy Services (MMES),
1996)
Marvin
B. Hobby vs. Georgia Power Company (GPC), (1996,
1997)
Hobby, terminated by Georgia Power in
1980, filed a whistle-blower, wrongful discharge
suit with the Department of Labor. While he
lost his action against Georgia Power, the decision
was overruled by Robert Reich, then Secretary
of Labor, in 1993.
Executive Search, Ltd. was contacted in 1996
and asked to assist in the damage phase of the
suit. We identified and documented more than
a thousand appropriate positions from classified
advertisements which Mr. Hobby should have responded
to during 1990 - 1993. This evaluation documented
Hobby's job search effort to be less than 5%
of the effort a prudent job seeker would have
undertaken. A salary survey was done which documented
Hobby's ability to obtain a new position at
a comparable salary.
A "strawman" was marketed into the
current job market of 100 companies with positive
results. 18 businesses said they would be interested
in someone like Mr. Hobby and eight said they
were currently in need of applicants with a
similar background.
Executive Search, Ltd. was one of only two expert
witnesses used in this high profile lawsuit,
which involved depositions and testimony in
Washington DC before the Department of Labor.
