Top Executive Search Services Companies

Executive search is how a company fills a seat it cannot advertise its way into: a CEO succession, a CFO before a funding round, a first chief technology officer, an independent board director. Executive search firms map the competitor pool, approach people who are not looking, run structured interviews and referencing, and manage the offer through to start date. Boards and owners hire them when the role is confidential, the candidate pool is small, or a bad hire would cost more than the fee.

Before shortlisting, look at which seniority band and function each firm has actually placed, whether the search is retained or contingent, and who on their side will run your search day to day, since that is rarely the partner who pitched it.
