Scoped with you
Built for growth-stage startups through select enterprise companies filling a senior, consequential role, CTO, VP of Engineering, VP of Product, Head of AI, and similar, where the decision process is clear and there's direct access to the executives, board members, or investors involved.
Typically run directly with founders, CEOs, and boards making a senior leadership hire.
What this often looks like
A board just approved headcount for a VP of Engineering, and both speed and quality matter, this isn't a role you can afford to get wrong or leave open for six months. We run a focused search against your specific mandate rather than posting a generic job listing and waiting.
How we run the search
Mandate Definition & Market Mapping
We align with you, and the board or investors if relevant, on the exact role, must-haves, and what success looks like in the first year, then map the realistic candidate pool for that role and seniority across the US, Latin America, or both.
Direct Outreach
We approach candidates directly rather than waiting on inbound applicants. The strongest candidates for senior roles are rarely applying to job posts.
Vetting & Interviews
Every candidate is evaluated against the mandate, plus the same technical, communication, and AI-readiness screening we apply across Tecla Talent, so you meet a small number of thoroughly vetted finalists, not a stack of resumes.
Offer & Close
We support negotiation, reference checks, and offer structuring through to signed acceptance.
Common questions
How is pricing determined for an executive search?
It's scoped per search, based on role seniority, urgency, and how complex the mandate is. There's no flat rate. You'll see the exact number in your SOW before the search starts.
Do you only search in the US?
No. Geography depends on the mandate. Some searches call for US-based candidates specifically, others benefit from including Latin America or a blend of both.
How long does a typical search take?
It depends on seniority and how narrow the mandate is. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we've scoped the role, and confirm it in your SOW.
What if the search doesn't produce a hire?
We stay engaged with the mandate until it's filled or you decide to pause it. Terms for an extended search are laid out in your SOW.
How is this different from general direct-hire recruiting?
Executive search is reserved for senior, consequential roles that typically involve board or investor coordination and a more targeted outreach process than a standard hire.
