Frequently asked questions
Executive Search: questions employers ask.
What is executive search?
Executive search is a targeted recruitment approach for senior, leadership, confidential or business-critical roles where broad advertising may not reach the right professionals.
How is executive search different from regular recruitment?
Executive search uses focused market research and direct outreach, while regular recruitment often relies more heavily on active applicants and broader sourcing.
Which leadership roles can Alpha Consultants support?
We can support senior management, functional leadership, business leadership and specialist appointments based on the agreed mandate.
Can an executive search remain confidential?
Yes. Sensitive searches can be managed through controlled outreach and limited information sharing.
Do you approach passive candidates?
Yes. Targeted outreach can include experienced professionals who are not actively applying for new roles.
How long does an executive search take?
The timeline depends on seniority, industry, location, compensation and the scarcity of the required experience.
Do you provide executive search across India?
Yes. Alpha Consultants supports leadership searches across major Indian talent markets.
Can background verification be added?
Yes. Relevant checks can be arranged separately after selection with candidate consent and an agreed scope.
