Executive Search

Executive Search

Retained search for the seats that decide everything after them. The best candidates for senior and niche roles aren’t applying anywhere. We find them, assess them, and manage them all the way to the joining date.

Direct search, built on market mapping

  • Every mandate begins with a calibrated intake: the real success profile, the non-negotiables, and an honest comp reality-check against the market — advice, not order-taking.
  • We then map the full addressable universe for the seat — which companies this talent sits in, who leads those teams, what they earn — before approaching anyone. You see the market, not just a shortlist.
  • Candidates are approached directly and personally, with the response rates that researched, senior-to-senior outreach earns.
  • In practice: 22 mid-to-senior placements delivered in the past year across HR, sales, supply chain, marketing, finance and legal — mandates run end-to-end from scoping to joining.

Behavioral assessment on every shortlist — fit as data, not impressions

  • Every shortlisted candidate completes a predictive behavioral assessment before reaching your panel, measuring role fit and culture fit against the profile we calibrated together.
  • You receive the assessment snapshot alongside the resume — so panel time is invested in candidates the data already supports, and interviews probe deeper instead of starting from zero.
  • Why it matters: interview impressions are where senior hiring goes wrong. Structured assessment before the panel is how fit decisions survive scrutiny — the same evidence-over-impressions discipline behind every people decision we touch.

Offer-to-join management — because a signature is a probability

  • In India’s multiple-offer market, the search isn’t over at acceptance. We plan pipelines above requirement, keep a structured warm-contact cadence between offer and joining, and manage counter-offer and renege risk to the joining date.
  • Full-cycle ownership: scoping, market mapping, approach, assessment, offer strategy, references, and joining — one accountable partner throughout.

How we engage

Retained mandates with a defined search plan and timeline. For launch clients, leadership search for the site-head seat is offered inside active GCC advisory engagements — the highest-stakes hire of a launch, searched for build experience specifically.

What clients get

A market they can see, a shortlist they can defend, and a joined candidate — not a stack of forwarded resumes. References from placed mandates available on request.
