Frequently asked questions

What is executive search?

Executive search is a specialised recruitment service focused on identifying and placing senior leaders, typically C-suite, VP and director-level roles.

How is executive search different from standard recruitment?

Executive search involves proactive market mapping, confidential outreach and structured leadership assessment, rather than advertising and inbound applications.

How long does an executive search take?

Most executive searches take 8 to 16 weeks depending on the role, market and seniority. AI-powered mapping can reduce this significantly.

Can Whitecarrot handle confidential searches?

Yes. Discretion is built into our process with secure communication, anonymised briefs and need-to-know information controls.
