01Brief and Role Architecture
You get in touch with us and we have a deep conversation about the role. Beyond the job title or the responsibilities, we look at the business challenge that the leader must solve. This insight shapes the leadership profile we then pursue in the market.
02 Market Mapping and Research
Our researchers map the full talent market across industries and regions. They identify potential candidates, benchmarks, and leadership structures to build a long list of executives worth approaching.
03 Outreach and Candidate Development
At this step of our process, we directly contact potential candidates. Confidentiality is fully maintained throughout. With these conversations, we explore their motivation, leadership philosophy and how much they align with your company’s goals.
04 Assessment and Shortlist
Through structured interviews, leadership frameworks, and reference validation, we evaluate the candidates. We share the profiles of shortlisted leaders with you.
Most executive searches reach the shortlist stage within several weeks. Although, the exact timeline depends on role complexity and market conditions. What matters more than speed is finding the right leader the first time around.

Frequently asked questions
Here’s what our clients usually ask us
What levels do you recruit at?
We conduct searches for senior leadership roles ranging from Director and Vice President positions to full C Suite placements. This includes CEO, CFO, CTO, COO, CHRO, CIO, CMO, and General Manager roles.
What is the difference between retained and contingency executive search?
Retained executive search operates as an exclusive engagement, so the search firm works closely with the client from research through placement and receives payment in stages during the project.
Contingency recruitment usually involves multiple agencies competing to place a candidate and payment occurs only after a hire. Retained search is the common approach for senior leadership roles because it allows deeper research and evaluation.
How long does an executive search take?
Many searches reach a candidate shortlist within eight to fourteen weeks. The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the role, the industry, and the location of potential candidates.
How do executive search firms find candidates?
Search firms identify candidates through market mapping, industry networks, targeted outreach, and proprietary talent databases. The focus remains on approaching passive candidates who are not actively seeking new roles.
How much do executive search firms charge?
Executive search fees usually follow a retained model tied to the compensation of the role being filled. The fee is typically structured across multiple stages of the engagement.
Why should we use an executive search firm rather than hiring internally?
Executive search firms expand your access to leadership talent, conduct confidential outreach, and bring structured evaluation to the hiring process. This reduces the risk that often accompanies senior level recruitment.
How do you ensure confidentiality during a search?
All outreach and candidate conversations remain confidential. Client information becomes visible to candidates only when both sides show serious interest and alignment.
Do you work across industries and geographies?
Yes. At KinzaHR, we conduct executive searches across industries and markets worldwide. Companies looking for regional expertise can also explore our services for executive search in the US or executive search in the UAE.
