Executive Search for C-Suite & Board-Level Leadership

Executive search (also called headhunting) is a confidential, retained search for senior and C-suite leadership — CEO, CFO, COO and board-level roles — rather than an open, advertised vacancy. Alliance headhunts candidates who aren’t actively job-hunting, sourced and screened to the same standard as every placement we make.

• Retained search, not a job-board listing — built for roles you can’t risk getting wrong
• Confidential throughout — your search stays out of the market until you’re ready
• Need an interim leader instead? Our Temporary & Contract Staffing service covers that

A C-suite or board-level hire is one you can’t afford to get wrong. Alliance’s retained, selective approach narrows the field to a tightly matched shortlist, not a long list of applicants — our interview-to-offer rate runs at 70%, and 98% of the candidates we put forward go on to accept the offer. Every search follows the same four-step process behind every Alliance placement: brief us, we search, you interview a shortlist, you hire.

Board and C-suite searches carry the same risk and the same need for discretion, so Alliance handles them the same way — confidentially, retained, and matched against your organisation’s specific governance and leadership needs. Whether you’re filling a Chief Executive role or a board seat, the process is the same four steps: brief us, we search, you interview a shortlist, you hire.

Four steps, start to finish — confidentially: you brief us on the role, we headhunt and screen against it, you interview a tightly matched shortlist, and you hire.
