Executive Search

Leadership that fits, aligns, and delivers.

We identify the leaders who move an organization forward, not just fill a seat. Every search starts with how your business actually makes decisions and what the next stage of growth demands.

Where search is the right call

  • The best candidates are employed and not looking
  • The role sets direction for a function or the company
  • The search needs to stay confidential
  • A previous hire in this seat didn't work out

The Search Method

Four stages, in order, every time.

Executive search fails when the process is improvised. Ours is not. Each stage has a defined output before we move to the next.

Stage 01

Role Analysis

We define responsibilities, success measures, and organizational impact, assess cultural dynamics, and meet the decision-makers to align on the ideal profile before sourcing begins.

Stage 02

Market Mapping

Targeted outreach across our network and the broader market, reaching passive candidates who aren't applying anywhere. You see a real cross-section, not just who was available.

Stage 03

Deep Assessment

Behavioral and competency-based interviewing on decision-making, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and vision, measured against your environment.

Stage 04

Diligence & Close

Rigorous reference checks, credential and employment verification, and early surfacing of red flags, then support through offer and transition.

What You Receive

Deliverables at every stage, not just a candidate at the end.

Position Specification

A written profile covering responsibilities, success measures, reporting structure, and the competencies that matter most, agreed with you before outreach begins.

Market Intelligence

What the market looks like for this role: where the talent sits, what compensation is realistic, and what will make your opportunity competitive.

Candidate Presentations

A written assessment for every finalist covering track record, leadership style, motivation for the move, and honest notes on fit and risk.

Reference & Diligence Report

Documented reference conversations and verification of credentials and employment history, delivered before you make an offer.

Offer Support

Guidance through structure, negotiation, and counteroffer risk, so the close doesn't unravel after months of work.

Transition Follow-Up

Structured check-ins with both the executive and the hiring leader after the start date, because the first ninety days determine whether the hire worked.

Case Study

Two IT leaders changed a manufacturer's trajectory.

A manufacturing organization needed IT leadership that could stabilize teams and drive modernization. Their existing structure lacked clarity and the experience to support growth. The two leaders RX2 delivered brought structure and vision, and modernization progress accelerated almost immediately.

Where We Search

Leadership roles across the whole organization.

C-suite through senior management. Operations and scientific leadership, plant and engineering leadership, CIO and IT leadership, and CFO, controller, and finance leadership.

Note for review: this page needs real search metrics. Pull from JobDiva: total searches completed, fill rate, average days from engagement to accepted offer, and 12-month retention on placed executives. Retention is the one buyers care about most, because a failed executive hire is the risk they are actually trying to avoid.
