Leadership hires that change the trajectory
Competency-first search for leaders who raise the ceiling.
Six ways executive hiring goes wrong
Every week without a leader stalls decisions, drains the team and compounds into quarters of lost momentum.
Résumés pass every screen, then the competency gaps surface six months after the hire, when it’s most expensive.
The same recycled shortlist circulates between agencies. The leaders you actually need never answer job ads.
No transition plan, no onboarding support, the search restarts, and this time with a credibility cost attached.
Offers built on stale benchmarks either overpay or lose the candidate at the final step.
You commit to a search blind, with no clear picture of who is available, and at what cost.
Four steps, one accountable partner
We sit with the board or hiring leader to translate strategy into a competency scorecard, what this leader must actually do in the first 18 months.
Data-led market mapping across 21 countries surfaces active and passive leaders; each is assessed against the scorecard, not a gut feel.
A weekly evidence-backed shortlist with structured interviews, references and case exercises, you see the reasoning, not just the résumé.
Offer design, transition planning and 90-day onboarding support so the placement sticks, the reason 95% of our executives stay.
Reading for the road ahead
