Discreet, retained executive search for the C-Suite and Boardroom.
Because the cost of leadership failure is too high.
Leadership acquisition is not a volume business; it is a precision discipline. At Kelly Recruitment Professionals, our Executive Search practice operates as a specialized boutique within our broader infrastructure, dedicated exclusively to the placement of C-Suite, VP, and Director-level talent in the Technology and Life Sciences sectors.
We understand that a bad hire at the executive level has a blast radius that can destabilize entire divisions. That is why we do not rely on job boards or active applicants. Our methodology is rooted in Retained Search principals: we hunt. We identify passive candidates who are currently driving value for competitors and present them with the narrative of your organization's growth.
"We didn't just need a CTO; we needed a wartime general for our digital transformation. KellyRP didn't send us resumes; they sent us a strategy."
— CEO, FinTech Enterprise (Taiwan)We begin with a "deep dive" immersion into your company culture. We interview stakeholders, analyze business goals, and construct a comprehensive "Success Profile" that goes beyond the job description to define the leadership traits required.
Our research team maps the entire talent landscape. We identify target companies, analyze competitor organizational structures, and generate a long-list of potential candidates who possess the requisite technical and soft skills.
We conduct rigorous behavioral interviews. Candidates are vetted for track record validation, leadership philosophy, and cultural alignment. Only the top 3-5 candidates are presented to you, complete with detailed dossiers.
We manage the delicate compensation negotiation process to ensure a successful close. Post-placement, we continue to monitor the integration of the executive for the first 90 days to ensure a smooth transition.
We understand that executive searches often occur during sensitive periods of transition, restructuring, or confidential product launches.
KellyRP operates under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Your search remains invisible to the market until you are ready to make the announcement. We protect your brand reputation as fiercely as we protect our own.
