What is executive search, and how does it differ from traditional recruitment?

Executive search is a highly specialized, proactive recruiting approach, designed to identify senior leadership talent. Unlike traditional recruitment, it does not rely on job postings or inbound applications, but follows a tailored, confidential process built on in depth market mapping and direct outreach. Kilpatrick Executive combines strong consulting expertise with a global search approach, delivering strategic, targeted solutions for every executive positioning need.

Kilpatrick Executive specializes in the search for C level, VP, and senior leaders, across strategic functions such as Operations, Digital, Finance, and Human Resources. We focus on leadership roles and critical positions that drive organizational transformation, and help shape the future of businesses.

Yes. Kilpatrick Executive operates through a globally connected team and an international talent pool, ensuring full coverage across multiple markets. Through a strong professional network, we are able to identify and engage top tier candidates worldwide, including for highly specialized and complex roles.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our approach. We operate on a strictly confidential basis and, when required, under non disclosure agreements. We engage only with candidates who are genuinely aligned with the role, and share sensitive information exclusively at the agreed stages of the process, fully respecting the privacy of both clients and professionals.

Kilpatrick Executive leverages a dedicated digital platform that allows real time monitoring of project progress, ensuring transparency and efficiency. Technology supports every stage of the process, from initial search activities through to shortlist presentation.

Unlike large headhunting firms, often structured as independent entities by country, or local networks limited to specific geographies, Kilpatrick Executive operates as one global team, with local points of contact who speak your language and access to a truly global talent database. An agile, borderless, and fully tailored model.

At Kilpatrick Executive, diversity is an integral part of the way we work. Through a global network and a fully integrated team, we access a broad and genuinely diverse talent pool. Each search follows a structured, bias aware process, with the goal of delivering inclusive shortlists, without compromising on quality, leadership standards, or alignment with the organization’s culture and strategic needs.
