Evaluation Intelligence Is the New Standard for In-House Search
Marriott, a Fortune 200 company, needed its in-house executive talent team to move fast on critical hires while being able to show their work, proving out candidates and market research to stakeholders quickly and comprehensively.
“With Marovi, we closed an executive search in record time – just 37 days. Marovi replicates a search firm’s value in-house, and our team has moved from search executors to polished, data-savvy talent advisors.”
– Jessica Lee, Global Officer, Talent Acquisition & Associate Development, Marriott International

Custom Solutions at Scale
For one global research project, the candidate evaluated as the most qualified in Marovi’s upfront research was the one ultimately hired.
“When we looked back at that initial list of candidates from Marovi, the person we hired was evaluated the highest amongst everyone we had surfaced. It’s an amazing feeling – the data told us what it told us, and that person ended up being the successful candidate.”
Additionally, the executive search talent team was also equipped with a customized platform to map the market, surface qualified candidates with evidence quickly, and align stakeholders through polished reporting.
“The platform’s helping our teams show up in a way that’s polished and professional, rooted in data – and that’s really what I want out of any of our recruiters: the ability to advise, not just execute.”
Marriott’s team also uses Marovi for standalone research when a role doesn’t call for a full engagement but the team needs more support on critical roles.
“I’ve called on Marovi when I just needed help with the research, not a full search. Tapping into their team for discrete projects has been powerful, given the speed of the platform and their own search experience.”
And the value isn’t just about time saved – it’s about the caliber of work the team can now put in front of leadership.
“There’s obviously time saved and speed. But when you put that together with the quality of the data, our recruiters are able to show up in a way that’s much more savvy – and it just makes our teams look good.”
For a company evaluating what it would take to build search-firm-level capability internally, Marriott’s experience makes the case plainly.
“It’s not just a software, not a platform. It’s helped us replicate what we’d get from an executive search firm – at a price point that’s very different – and demonstrate we have that capability in-house.”
