Executive search is a specialized recruiting service that helps organizations identify and hire senior leaders—such as CEOs, CFOs, and other top executives. It goes beyond traditional hiring by mapping the market, targeting highly qualified candidates (often passive), and guiding them through a discreet, strategic selection process.

What do you do in executive search?
We act as strategic partners to hiring leaders—not just filling roles, but helping shape leadership. We understand your business, industry, goals, team dynamics, culture, and what success looks like in the role. From there, we map the market, identify high-impact leaders, discreetly engage them, and guide the process through final offer and onboarding.
What is the average cost of an executive search?
Most typical executive search firms charge around one-third of the hired executive’s first-year total compensation regardless of how long the search takes or how involved they are in the process.
We’re not typical or average. Our pricing is a flat, moderate investment—based on effort, not salary. It’s performance-based, milestone-driven, and focused on outcomes over activity. You get high-touch support, direct access to senior headhunters, and guaranteed results—with no surprises.
