Executive Search in New York

Finding Leaders Who Fit — Not Just on Paper, but in Purpose

In a city like New York, where opportunity moves fast and expectations are higher than the skyline, executive hiring requires more than a resume match. It calls for alignment — with your strategy, your pace, and your values.

We work with growing companies, global teams entering the U.S. market, and NYC-based firms scaling or evolving leadership. Whether you’re hiring a VP of Sales in Flatiron or a Chief People Officer for a hybrid team, we help you hire with confidence.

What Makes Executive Search Different in New York

The NYC market is dense — not just in population, but in noise. The best candidates aren’t applying. They’re already leading elsewhere. That’s why your hiring partner can’t just forward resumes. They need to tell your story better than you do.

New York also sees:

  • High cross-industry transitions, especially in SaaS, healthtech, and finance
  • Fierce competition for top-tier operators
  • Candidates who demand more than a compensation package — they expect vision
Our 7-Step Process

1. Discovery
We bring together your key stakeholders to understand not just what you need, but why. We map your ideal candidate’s traits, team dynamics, and success criteria using a weighted scorecard.
2. Alignment
We align early. You’ll preview at least five real candidate profiles before the search scales — ensuring quality and eliminating drift before time is lost.
3. Collaboration
You’ll meet weekly with your client manager and get access to our client portal for full transparency. No ghosting. No mystery timelines.
4. Assessment
We go beyond interviews. We include EQ, DISC, Kolbe, and other tools to evaluate leadership fit, communication styles, and role alignment.
5. Talent Introduction
Finalists come with a short pitch and full portfolio — not just a resume. You choose who progresses to internal interviews.
6. Interview
We help coordinate and prep both sides to ensure speed without sacrificing depth. Candidate engagement remains high.
7. Hire
With a 90-day guarantee and extended candidate pool access, we support both the hire and what comes next.
