Executive Search & RPO
Powered by Leaders & Technology
We specialize in the roles that change a company, not the ones that maintain it, in whichever function the mandate sits. You can place a single leader through retained search, or hand us your entire recruiting function through RPO. We are the only executive search and training firm invested in by SoftBank, one of the world's largest technology investors in OpenAI.

We hire for change.
Growth. Transformation. M&A.
We specialize in the leadership roles that rebuild the engine while it runs, the seat created to scale a function past what its current structure can hold, carry a transformation, or integrate an acquisition.
It isn’t a department; it’s a mandate, and it shows up in whichever function is under the most pressure: finance, operations, technology, supply chain, commercial, or people.
Newly created seats
A role that did not exist before, or an existing one being redefined around a new mandate.
Post-deal integration
Leaders who can hold two operating models together and land one, on a deal clock.
Functions under pressure
A function absorbing growth, M&A, AI, or margin pressure faster than it was designed for.
Build-the-team mandates
Leaders who have to recruit and build the team as well as run it.
12–24 month remits
Success measured by what changes in the first two years.
Scale-stage step-ups
The seat a company outgrows every few years, filled before the growth outruns it.
We hold the firm to the same standard we’re hired to find. That’s the reason for the speed: 30 days from outreach to offer acceptance, 66% faster than average, and the reason we keep rebuilding how we source and assess. A search firm selling transformation should be able to show its own.

Partner Sells, Partner Delivers
The partner in your first meeting is the partner who runs your search. Every conversation before the contract is signed becomes part of the brief.
Most search firms
The partner wins the work, then hands the search to an associate who starts learning your business from scratch.
Mogul
Nothing is re-learned. Every pre-contract meeting sharpens the brief, and candidates hear about the role from the partner who knows it best, a great experience on both sides.
Engineering-Led Sourcing
Our CTO and engineering team oversee sourcing directly, building precision into the very top of the funnel.
Most search firms
Sourcing is delegated to junior researchers working from lists and keyword searches.
Mogul
Engineering ownership of sourcing, so the slate is precise from the first name.
Precision Technology & Methodology
Our technology and methodology surface and match candidates against your exact criteria, at a scale manual sourcing cannot reach.
Most search firms
Network-and-database sourcing, dependent on who a given recruiter happens to know.
Mogul
Comprehensive market coverage, precision-matched. A 100% placement rate at 66% faster speed.
Full Market Access
We search the whole market on your behalf. Your own organization is always protected, and every other door stays open.
Most search firms
Off-limits agreements with their other clients fence off whole companies, quietly narrowing your slate before the search begins.
Mogul
The full market, working for you. If the right leader is out there, we can reach them.
Time Where It Counts
Because we're precise up front, most of the 30-day average goes to cultural alignment and negotiating within your salary range.
Most search firms
Weeks go to sourcing and screening, leaving culture and offer terms rushed at the end.
Mogul
The slate is right early, so the time goes to fit and terms. That's why placements last.
And deep relationships with senior leaders and AI talent. Built through our executive platform, our Top Chief Officers and Top People Leaders honorees, and the leaders on our Chief Officer podcast, so the leaders you need already take our call.
