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 to replace company leadership and board members. Some competitors expressed frustration with Spencer Stuart's dominance in federally funded recruitment.[3]
