FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our leadership hiring process.

We specialize in C-suite (CEO, CFO, CTO, COO, CHRO, CISO, CMO), VP/SVP level, Director-level, Business Unit Heads, Practice Leaders, General Managers, and Board Advisory positions. Our sweet spot is roles with annual compensation packages of ₹30 lakhs to ₹5+ crores.

Executive search is a consultative, research-driven process focused on passive candidates who aren't actively looking. It involves deep organizational understanding, market mapping, confidential headhunting, multi-layered psychometric and competency assessment, and a much longer engagement cycle. It's about finding the "best in market," not the "best available."

For retained searches, we typically present a shortlist of 3–5 candidates within 2–3 weeks of engagement. The full cycle from kick-off to joining averages 35–50 days, depending on role complexity, notice periods, and client decision speed. Contingency searches may take slightly longer as they run on shared priority.

All leadership placements come with a 6-month replacement guarantee. If the placed leader exits the organization for any reason within this period, we will re-run the complete search process at zero additional cost. For retained engagements, the guarantee extends to 12 months.

Every engagement begins with a signed NDA. We use blind profiles (removing identifying details) during initial discussions. Our outreach to candidates is done through confidential channels — we never post executive roles on public job boards. Client company names are shared only with shortlisted candidates who sign a separate confidentiality undertaking.

We work across the full spectrum — from Seed/Pre-revenue startups building their founding team to Fortune 500 companies filling board positions. Our approach is customized: for startups, we focus on builder-mentality leaders with high risk appetite; for enterprises, we focus on transformation leaders with change management expertise.
