When we reach out to you…
When we reach out to you via phone, email, text, or social media, we do so to share an opportunity we believe may be advantageous to your career. Career advancement comes in many forms and it’s not always in the form you expect. We understand that you may be deeply engaged in your current role and have no interest in considering a career move. We invite you to consider this analogy…
Consider yourself to be an individual business or corporation with a fiduciary responsibility to yourself and your shareholders (your loved ones). Most every business executive at some level is tasked with being vigilant to new opportunities to advance the organization, its mission, and its bottom line. You are no different. As an individual, you’ve made significant investments in time and resources to gain education, make sacrifices of yourself and family, and advance your professional life. Why should you, as the Chief Executive Officer of yourself, not be vigilant to opportunities to advance your career, improve your quality of life, gain new experiences, and expand your professional network?
Expand your horizons
Here are some reasons we think you should listen if you’re approached by one of our consultants to explore a new opportunity. Our consultants have extensive experience within the areas in which we practice executive search. They understand the leadership needs of our clients and have deep experience identifying opportunities that don’t always fit the textbook definition of career mobility. A simple exploratory call with the ExeQfind Group consultant who reached out to you can expand your horizons.
Every placement we make in a client organization is backed with a one-year guarantee. We accept this responsibility because we know we have taken the time to get to know the candidates we move forward in a client search.
Does The ExeQfind Group help executives find their next career role?
Our services are paid by employers seeking exceptionally talented and experienced people for middle, senior management, and executive leadership roles. This means that 100% of our focus must be on finding and assessing candidates relevant to the search mandate—not supporting individuals in their job search. Client search mandates are typically laser-focused in terms of required skills, experience, education, and geographic location, which necessitates our time and attention being focused only on those candidates that meet those parameters.
If you are actively seeking a new opportunity, we invite you to register your credentials with us for reference by our executive search consultants when they are engaged in a search relevant to your skills and experience. Registering allows our search consultants to more easily connect with you and explore opportunities with you. Please understand that we cannot actively support candidates in their individual job search and therefore cannot respond to every registration within our database.
If I am a candidate in a retained search managed by The ExeQfind Group, do I have to pay anything?
No. All of our fees and expenses are paid by the client organization that engages us for an executive search assignment.
Why is the client’s identity not revealed during an initial call with an executive search consultant?
As a retained search firm, all search assignments we undertake are exclusive. Additionally, many of our search assignments are confidential in nature. When the search is confidential, we can often reveal our client’s identity once candidates have been qualified and have expressed continuing interest in the role, usually after signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
What is The ExeQfind Group’s policy towards protecting candidate confidentiality?
We fully understand a candidate’s need for discretion and confidentiality—even if you are only expressing interest in having an exploratory conversation about an assignment we’ve shared with you. Rest assured that we hold your identity and information with the utmost privacy. We do not divulge candidate information to client hiring managers until you have provided consent and interest is established.
Why can’t the ExeQfind consultant tell me what the compensation range or incentive plan is for the role they are calling me about?
There are many reasons, ranging from legal constraints to the client simply being unsure what an appropriate compensation range is for the role. Often, the client prefers to see a range of talent that possesses the desired qualifications and experience before finalizing compensation. This approach allows them to focus on fit for the role and organization without prematurely narrowing the candidate pool based on salary expectations.
In other cases, withholding early compensation details helps determine whether a candidate’s motivations are well-rounded or primarily compensation-driven. Our consultants are knowledgeable about industry-specific salary ranges, incentive plans, and benefits, and they know when the timing is appropriate to discuss compensation.
What are the benefits of working with an ExeQfind consultant?
If you are contacted by one of our executive search consultants to participate in a search assignment, here are some of the benefits you can expect:
- We will provide you with candid information about our client, relevant stakeholders, and their goals once mutual interest is established. We guarantee all successful executive hires for one year—ensuring both client and candidate have an impartial understanding of each other.
- Guidelines and tips for an effective interview process as well as objective post-interview feedback.
- Every search assignment we manage is exclusive and often confidential, ensuring your privacy is closely guarded and your candidacy is not in competition against any other search firm or process.

- Continued communication after onboarding to ensure expectations are met during the critical first year.
