How does Altum Executive Search ensure we find the right leadership talent?
We take a tailored approach by thoroughly understanding your company’s culture, values, and strategic goals. Our team uses this insight to match you with candidates who not only have the required skills but also align with your organization’s vision and leadership style.
How long does the executive search process take?
Our typical process takes about 30-38 days, from understanding your needs to presenting qualified candidates. We ensure thorough vetting and matching to ensure both speed and quality in our placements.
What’s the difference between a retained search and contingent search?
As a retained executive search firm, we work exclusively with you and receive payment upfront. This ensures that we dedicate our full resources and attention to finding the right candidate. Contingent search firms, on the other hand, only get paid once a candidate is hired, often working on multiple roles simultaneously.
Can I partner with you for specific executive roles, or do I need a long-term contract?
You can work with us on a case-by-case basis for specific leadership positions, or we can set up a longer-term partnership if your company has multiple hiring needs. We adapt to your preferences and requirements to deliver tailored solutions.
How do you ensure confidentiality throughout the process?
We prioritize discretion in every search. We understand the sensitive nature of executive recruitment, and our team handles all searches with the utmost confidentiality, ensuring both the company and candidate’s privacy are protected.
If you didn’t find the answer to your question or if you have specific inquiries, we’re here to help.
