Comprehensive Talent Acquisition and Recruitment Solutions with Netflix
Netflix engaged DSG Consulting in October 2019 to lead wide-ranging initiatives across talent acquisition, leadership sourcing, and organizational engagement. The partnership spanned recruitment strategy, executive search, internal and external engagement, and the development of broader professional networks. Netflix was committed to evolving its people and practices in a meaningful way. With a clear commitment to long-term cultural evolution, DSG Consulting partnered closely with leadership to establish a durable, scalable framework for sustained growth and organizational alignment.
The Challenge
To ensure the right approach, DSG Consulting first conducted an in-depth discovery process to understand Netflix’s specific business needs and identify customized solutions. The partnership revealed an opportunity to accelerate Netflix’s access to leadership talent, strategic partnerships, and professional networks aligned to its business goals. A key priority was expanding entry into high-value networks where Netflix could build relationships, exchange knowledge, and tap into broader talent and resource pipelines to support long-term growth.
The Tactics
DSG Consulting designed and produced the Re-Write Dinners (formerly known as Jefferson Dinners), a series of curated, in-person and virtual executive convenings created to foster dialogue on leadership, representation, and the future of the C-suite during a period of significant disruption. DSG Consulting and Netflix selected timely topics and keynote speakers capable of informing, challenging, and inspiring senior leaders across industries.
Through its expansive leadership network, DSG curated a group of C-suite executives, SVPs, and senior leaders representing a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives, and managed all event logistics and execution for the Re-Write Dinners, as well as additional smaller gatherings and mixers designed to expand executive connectivity and access to leadership talent.
In parallel, Yardstick supported Netflix with executive sourcing efforts, resulting in multiple executive placements to date.
The Results
DSG Consulting delivered a comprehensive assessment of senior leadership talent across priority regions and developed curated executive lists to support strategic hiring and partnership development. The firm’s advisory work also contributed to Netflix’s historic $100 million investment in Black-owned banks. Through ongoing counsel, DSG Consulting continues to support Netflix in attracting, developing, and retaining senior leaders aligned with its long-term organizational priorities.
