Helping top talent “land & stick” their next gig
Our Services
Recruiting is broken. As many companies try to save money they have cut their recruiting teams and have also cut back on their usage of search firms.
Jobs are being posted that would traditionally have gone to search, and as the breakdown continues hiring managers are increasingly turning to their network for the talent they need.
So even executives and niche talent need to work hard to get in front of opportunities.
We can help make connections and proactively market you to target companies that we identify together. It’s like having your own personal SDR.
In today’s market, there are fewer opportunities than typical. You need to make sure that your interviews count.
We can help you prepare to increase the probability of you landing the offer.
Through structured behavioral interviews and psychometric/personality tests, we can help you prepare and give the performance of your career.
Our CFO practice can help prep you with the right questions to ask to understand the economics of the company you are talking to.
Sometimes the best career move is the role that you walk away from!
In most executive moves information is asymmetrical - the hiring company knows more about you than you typically know about them.
They reference check you - front and back-door checks - you don’t usually have the same opportunity.
If a search firm is involved, the client pays their fees —their interests and your interests are not always aligned.
We will thoroughly assess the company’s economics, culture, “key-to-success” stakeholders, and other reputational risk factors. Before making your decision you will know where any landmines are and factor these risks into your decision and compensation.
While we likely won’t be able to negotiate for you, we do have access to the latest market compensation data, and enterprise financial and valuation data.
We can help you think about the risk associated with a role, give you an independent financial assessment of your compensation, and help you think through the valuation of any equity.
Our compensation practice will equip you with rationale and logic as well as creative ideas to suggest, to secure the maximum value from your negotiations.
We can work with you, or your new team to construct an onboarding plan that is going to help you “stick the landing” at your new company.
From 360 assessments to 30-60-90 day check-ins we can help identify any challenges early and make sure that you start and stay on-track.
After you’re onboarded we can work with you as you experience the normal challenges associated with change and growth.
We can keep an eye on the market for you and make sure that you’re kept abreast of opportunities.
About
our company
We’re not a search firm, although we’ve managed thousands of searches.
Search firms work for the companies that engage them. If they have a search that you’re a match for, they will work hard to meet their clients’ needs. But they will always act in their clients’ best interests and this is fine, to the extent that your and their clients’ interests are aligned.
At Exec-Next we work for you. Searching out opportunities for you, marketing you to agreed target companies, and working through searches offering advice, guidance, and conducting due diligence to manage the risk around any potential move.
We’re a team of HR and Finance execs who have made thousands of hires and compensation deals over the years. We’ve seen hires’ work but also careers ruined by the information asymmetry that usually occurs in every hiring process.
Our goal is simple - we work for you to land you more opportunities and give you information to make better decisions and de-risk what is a high-risk activity.
