The Good Search Launches Intellerati, a New Recruiting Research Lab and AI Incubator

Westport, CT: March 23, 2026 The Good Search, LLC has spun out an exciting new executive search research lab and AI incubator called Intellerati. The lab offers recruiting research services to corporate executive search, talent acquisition, and recruiting teams.  Powered by Intellerati, the lab offers sourcing and candidate development support for C-level leadership recruiting. Intellerati also builds custom org charts for organizational development, reorganizations, and succession planning, and develops intelligence from studying the talent ecosystem.

Intellerati transforms research into actionable intelligence, giving employers the qualitative data they need to make the best hire, diversify the executive suite, inform workforce planning, and study the talent ecosystem. Its custom research also informs the M&A activity of private equity and corporate M&A teams. The Intellerati blog features commentary, analysis, and practical tips on best practices in talent acquisition research.

“Talent acquisition has undergone a transformation in the last several years. We see an opportunity in that”, says CEO Krista Bradford. She continues,

“Corporate recruiters don’t always have the time, resources, or bandwidth required to fill every opening. Our research services provide support wherever talent acquisition teams need it the most — whether it’s candidate identification and profiling or candidate development and screening. We also have extensive experience supporting corporate diversity efforts by building diversity pools to ensure inclusion.”
