Executive search and leadership hiring
A confidential, research-led search for senior managers, function heads and CXO-level leaders, run personally with the hiring team.
Leadership roles are rarely filled from job adverts. The right person is usually in a role already and not actively looking. Executive search means mapping the market, approaching people directly and handling every conversation with discretion.
Leadership mandates are overseen by our Managing Director, Amit Gautam.
What is included
- A detailed briefing with the founders, CHRO or hiring leader on the role and its success measures
- Market mapping of relevant companies and target profiles
- Discreet, direct approaches to potential candidates
- In-depth assessment interviews and reference checks with the candidate's permission
- Regular progress reports on the search
- Support through negotiation, resignation and onboarding
Six clear steps, from brief to joining
The same transparent process for every role, so you always know where a search stands.
- 1
Understand the role
A briefing call on the role, team, culture, must-have skills, budget band, location or work mode and your interview process. We confirm the brief in writing before sourcing starts.
- 2
Search and source
Recruiters who know the domain search job boards, professional networks and referrals, and approach people who are not actively applying.
- 3
Screen
Functional and behavioural screening, plus checks on notice period, location, expectations and genuine interest, so you interview fewer, better-fit candidates.
- 4
Shortlist
You receive a short list of screened profiles with a summary for each. We share a profile only after the candidate has agreed to be considered for your role.
- 5
Interviews and offer
We schedule interviews, collect feedback on both sides and support the offer discussion so it closes cleanly.
- 6
Notice period and joining
Regular contact with the candidate through the notice period to reduce drop-offs, and a check-in after joining.
Questions about executive search hiring
Can the search be kept confidential?
Yes. We can run the search without naming your company until a candidate has been screened and has agreed to keep the discussion confidential.
How is executive search different from regular recruitment?
It relies on direct approaches to people who are not actively looking, deeper assessment and closer involvement from the hiring leader throughout.
