“I need to fill a senior role and nobody can know about it”

Executive search: the profile that leads, with discretion

We find and approach executives directly, including those who aren't looking for a job, for general management, leadership teams and key areas. We do it through headhunting, competency-based assessment and complete confidentiality.

Let's discuss your vacancyHow we work

This is for you if…

  • You need to fill a general management, finance, sales, operations or HR director role.
  • The role is still filled or the change hasn't been announced.
  • The ideal candidate works for another company and isn't looking at job ads.
  • You want someone with sound judgement to assess leadership and fit with your leadership team, not just the CV.

What we see from the other side of the table

In a senior role, the CV says little about what matters: how the person decides when there isn't enough data, how they handle conflict and how they fit with whoever they'll report to. That's why we assess competencies methodically and tell you what we see beyond the career history.

And if the role can't wait for the search to finish, an interim executive can cover it in the meantime.

With the CREARTE Method: senior points of contact, competency-based assessment and transparency throughout the process.

Frequently asked questions about executive search

What is executive search?

It's the direct search for executives. At Crearte we do it through headhunting: we find and approach professionals, including those who aren't job hunting, and assess their competencies.

How do you maintain confidentiality?

We are the ones who contact candidates, and we don't reveal your company until it makes sense for both sides. We agree with you who knows about the search.

What if I need to fill the role right away?

We can bring in an interim executive while we search for the permanent hire. More on interim management.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the role and the search. We'll explain it in the meeting. If you'd like to know how fees work in the sector, read how much a headhunter costs.

Not quite what you need?

These are our other services. If you're unsure, we'll work it out together in the meeting.
