Frequently Asked Questions
How senior are the positions?
The Good Search focuses on board and senior executive recruitment. We focus on roles at the Senior Vice President and C-Level roles: CTO, CIO, CISO, and other CXO openings. Of course, leveling varies at companies, so the positions sometimes are Vice President level when roles report to the Chief Executive Officer or are important enough to warrant a retained executive search.
Investigative executive search?
Investigative executive recruiting reaches beyond traditional recruiting resources. Moreover, it develops competitive intelligence that makes executive search smarter. Traditional retained search claims that they know all the best candidates simply are not true. Dunbar’s number suggests there is a cognitive limit to the number of people one can know. Research is the execution engine of executive recruiting. Build a better engine and you’ve just built the ultimate recruiting machine.
How long does a search take?
On average, The Good Search presents the candidate who is ultimately hired within the first month. Amazon took just two weeks to hire one of our C-level executives for a high-profile startup in Health Tech. Employers that speed time-to-hire are clear about the role’s requirements, realistic about the compensation they can afford, and move to offer without hesitation.
What is your search specialty?
The Good Search specializes in recruiting executives for top technology companies. We have done it for the past two decades. So, we’re incredibly connected in all the right places. Representative clients include Amazon, Apple, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Uber. We also serve companies in other industries that harness the power of technology: biotechnology, financial services, healthcare, life sciences, management consulting, pharmaceuticals, and travel & hospitality.
