Leadership Recruiting
Leadership Recruiting is a hiring process built around one question a resume can't answer: how does this person actually behave under pressure? Skills and experience matter, but they're not what breaks a team six months after a bad leadership hire.
Who this is for
Organizations hiring into a leadership or management role, where the cost of getting it wrong isn't just a bad hire. It's a team that spends the next year recovering from one.
What's included
- Screening built around values, communication style, and pressure response, not just credentials
- Structured conversations that surface how a candidate actually leads, not how they describe leading
- A clear read on culture and role fit before an offer goes out
Full executive search
Some searches need more than screening; they need dedicated sourcing and placement. For all executive searches, I'm partnered with Platinum Search Partners, where I also work as an Executive Search Consultant. The firm was founded by David Stupay, a five-time CEO across manufacturing, consulting, and nonprofit sectors, and that same real executive experience shapes how every search gets run: deep candidate assessment, tools like Hogan and Chally, not just a resume review, and real attention to leadership style, team fit, and long-term success in the role.
Reach out here and tell me about the role. Every executive search runs through that partnership, so the goal isn't just finding a strong candidate. It's making sure the person who joins your team gets trained, developed, and genuinely invested in as a leader once they're there.
How to get started
Tell me about the role and what's gone wrong with leadership hires before, if anything has. That conversation shapes the process more than a job description does.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a normal recruiter?
A resume tells you what someone has done. It doesn't tell you how they'll handle a room full of pressure, or what they do when a direct report pushes back. This process is built to surface that before the hire, not six months into it.
Do you replace our HR or hiring team?
No. This works alongside whatever hiring process you already have, usually focused specifically on the leadership-fit questions a standard process isn't built to answer.
Do you handle full executive search and placement?
Yes. For all executive searches, I'm partnered with Platinum Search Partners, where I'm also an Executive Search Consultant. Get in touch and I'll walk you through what the process looks like for your role.
What does it cost?
It depends on the role and how much of the process you want covered. Get in touch and I'll give you a straight answer once I understand what you're hiring for.
