Recruitment software for executive search
Executive search is a different game from volume recruiting. The shortlist is small, the brief is confidential, and the decision turns on judgement, the scale a leader has really operated at, the scope they owned, the kind of organisation they thrived in, and whether the client would trust them in the room. A polished profile that misses the true level of the role wastes weeks and, worse, your credibility with the client.
RecruiterDesk is recruitment software that turns a leadership brief into a weighted fitment checklist before you approach anyone, so the seniority, the scope and the track record that decide a senior hire are agreed up front, and every name you present comes with the reasoning on the record.
The details Executive search clients decide on.
The true level of the role
A title hides more than it shows at the top. The checklist captures the real scope, team size, budget or P&L owned, so a near-level candidate does not read as a match.
Scale and stage operated at
Leading at a large, structured organisation is not the same as building from scratch. Capturing the scale and stage the client needs keeps the shortlist to leaders who have done the actual job.
Confidential, low-volume search
A retained search is a handful of carefully chosen names, often handled discreetly. One workspace keeps the longlist, the notes and the status in order without a sprawling pipeline.
A defensible case for each name
Clients paying for search expect reasoning, not just resumes. Recording the deciding criteria and the fit against each one makes every presentation defensible.
Check the deciding criteria before you source.
Executive search rewards judgement, and the checklist is where you make that judgement explicit. Weight the real decision factors, the scope and scale of the role, the sector and organisation type, the leadership track record and the cultural fit, as must-haves, and score each longlisted leader against the same bar. The result is a short, considered slate the client trusts, with a clear, documented reason behind every name you put forward.
Executive search recruitment, answered.
Is RecruiterDesk suitable for executive search?
Yes. Executive search turns on judgement about seniority, scope and track record rather than volume, so the fitment checklist earns its place by making those criteria explicit before you approach anyone. You run a small, confidential longlist in one workspace and present a considered slate with the reasoning on the record.
Can it handle a confidential or retained search?
Yes. A retained search is a handful of carefully chosen names, and RecruiterDesk keeps the longlist, your notes and each candidate's status in one place without a sprawling, high-volume pipeline. Your data belongs to you and can be exported or deleted at any time.
How does it help me present a shortlist to the client?
Every candidate carries a fitment score against the agreed criteria, so your presentation is a short slate with a documented reason behind each name, not a stack of resumes. Clients paying for search expect that reasoning, and it is the difference between a shortlist they trust and one they second-guess.
What does it cost?
One flat, published price for an individual recruiter and a per-member price for teams, every feature included, with a 14-day free trial and no card. The pricing page shows the exact figures in your currency.
