Executive Search

Our Executive Search Practice

We conduct retained executive search across Africa, India and the Middle East — placing CEOs, board members and senior functional leaders. Our role is not only to identify candidates, but to define the search intelligently, assess capability rigorously and guide the appointment to a strong outcome.

Our Search Process

Brief & Market Mapping
We invest time in understanding the role, the organisation, its culture and strategy, then provide an honest view of the available talent landscape.
Candidate Identification
Structured, intelligence-led research across target organisations and networks. We approach candidates directly — not through job boards.
Assessment
Structured competency interviews, cultural fit evaluation, career review, reference conversations and psychometric assessment where relevant.
Interview Process
We manage scheduling, candidate preparation, post-interview debrief and ongoing communication.
Offer & Negotiation
Compensation advice, offer management, counter-offer navigation and relocation support.
Onboarding Support
Check-ins with client and candidate at 30, 90 and 180 days post-placement.
