The firm currently employs over 1,200 people, with both Kincentric and Cambria consulting falling under the umbrella of Spencer Stuart, following their respective acquisitions by SSI. Spencer Stuart began in its early years as a boutique consultancy, being one of the first executive search firms to conduct international and domestic projects. In recent years the firm has grown into a larger consultancy: offering capabilities in leadership training, strategic planning, digital transformation and executive coaching, alongside their longstanding executive search business. Notable placements by Spencer Stuart include the Yahoo! board of directors retained the firm in June 2012 to conduct a search to replace former CEO Scott Thompson.[4] The Twitter board of directors retained the firm in June 2015 to conduct a search to replace former CEO Dick Costolo.[5]

During the 2009 government bailouts of struggling U.S. companies, the firm worked with the majority of the companies that were bailed out to replace company leadership and board members. Spencer Stuart has placed executives across a diverse range of industries and has existing partnerships with the majority of the Fortune 500 companies.
