FAQs
Executive search questions
We can run searches without naming your organization until a candidate has been qualified and signed any required confidentiality agreements.
Timelines vary by role and market, but a typical search runs over several weeks from briefing to shortlist, followed by your interview process. We agree milestones at the start.
Through structured, competency-based interviews, discussion of past results and leadership approach, and thorough referencing.
Our focus is US-based leadership roles, though we can consider candidates willing to relocate when appropriate.
