Iterate with Alpha.
Get to the right people, fast.
Start broad, then sharpen it in plain words. Every reply brings the list closer to the right people, and Alpha tells you what it changed.
A client's feedback after the first longlist used to mean rebuilding the Boolean. Now it's one message.
Any title. Any location.
From a Group CFO in Bengaluru to a COO for Europe in Brussels, and a Chief of Laboratory in Thrissur.
One Country Manager search, eight markets: Mexico City, Istanbul, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Poland, Malaysia, Egypt, the Philippines.
Gwalior, Hosur, Thrissur, Nashik, Umbergaon, Surendranagar. Plant, lab and manufacturing mandates outside the big cities are where keyword search runs dry.
Show your client the market before you show them a shortlist.
When a brief doesn't match the market, let the data realign it. Map where the talent sits, where it's moving, and who else is hiring for it.
- 01Realign the brief
How many people truly fit, where they sit, and how the pool changes if the client relaxes one must-have.
- 02Present the landscape
A market map for the pitch or the kickoff call: target companies, how their teams are built, and where people move.
- 03Win the next mandate
Who's hiring, who's growing, and who's about to list. Walk into business development with the market already mapped.
