What is Confidential Executive Search?

A confidential search is initiated when a client is seeking to make an executive appointment without advertising or alerting their employees, competitors, and/or clients that the position is open.

When is a Confidential Search Necessary?

Replacing Executives or Management Positions – Avoiding Leadership Gaps

The most common reason clients choose to conduct a confidential search is when they’re replacing high-level positions in leadership where there is an incumbent.

Experiencing Internal Changes or Reorganisation

Clients going through significant internal changes such as mergers, IPOs, or restructuring may want to keep certain open positions quiet. Often, these situations can be sensitive.

Exploring New Sectors/Products/Industries

Another common reason clients choose a confidential search is when their company is rolling out a new product line, business model or new a business.

When looking to launch any type of industry disruption, being first to market is key when filling a need or service gap.
