Executive Search in Los Angeles

Leadership That Moves as Fast as the Market

Los Angeles is a city of reinvention. From media and tech to sustainability and wellness, it’s home to companies that challenge industries — and the executives who lead them need to keep pace.

We work with LA-based organizations navigating change, scale, and competition. Whether you’re hiring your first VP of Marketing for a fast-growing consumer brand or replacing a COO at a healthtech company in Santa Monica, we guide the process with clarity and structure.

What Makes Executive Search Different in Los Angeles

LA is saturated with talent — and noise. Titles are common. Real operators are rare.

What defines executive hiring in LA:

  • Cross-sector experience is common, but not always relevant
  • Culture fit is paramount — especially for consumer-facing brands
  • Candidates expect companies to stand for something beyond growth

You don’t need more resumes. You need someone who belongs in your business tomorrow, not in theory.

Our 7-Step Process

1. Discovery
We start with a strategy session involving key stakeholders. The goal is to understand your goals, gaps, and team dynamics — and create a scorecard to guide every step.
2. Alignment
Before fully launching the search, we present 5 candidate samples to ensure we’re calibrated on quality, style, and experience.
3. Collaboration
Weekly updates, meetings, and portal access keep you in the loop without dragging you into daily details. Visibility without the chaos.
4. Assessment
We conduct structured interviews and utilize tools like Myers-Briggs, EQ, DISC, and Kolbe to assess communication styles, decision-making, and leadership profiles.
5. Talent Introduction
Each finalist is introduced with a full portfolio and insight brief. You get clarity on not just what they’ve done, but how they operate.
6. Interview
We assist with scheduling, feedback loops, and candidate management so you maintain momentum and consistency.
7. Hire
Every hire includes a 90-day guarantee, plus continued access to vetted candidates for any follow-up hires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LA a difficult market to hire in?2025-05-29T09:14:53+00:00

It can be. Talent is available, but discerning real leadership potential takes more than filtering resumes. Our process surfaces those distinctions.

Do you recruit from outside LA?2025-05-29T09:15:22+00:00

Yes — especially for hybrid or remote-first roles. Many top candidates are open to relocating or working with an LA-based HQ.

Do you work with companies under 100 employees?2025-05-29T09:15:51+00:00

Absolutely. Many of our clients are building their first or second layer of leadership and need a partner who understands what right-sized executive hiring looks like.
