Need rigorous, targeted executive search research without the overhead of a full retained mandate? I provide specialist search execution support for organisations, boutique search firms, and independent consultants who need experienced research capability on a project basis.

I have delivered executive search research across C-suite and senior leadership roles in financial services, government, industrial, and professional services sectors across the UAE, KSA, and broader MENA region.

What's included:

Role scoping and success criteria review

Targeted talent mapping and market intelligence across relevant organisations and geographies

Candidate identification and longlisting against defined criteria

Outreach and initial candidate engagement

Documented pipeline with candidate profiles, availability indicators, and market insights

Regular progress updates throughout the assignment

This service covers the research and execution phase of search. It does not include client-side business development or retained mandate management.

Suitable for: boutique search firms needing overflow research capacity, in-house talent teams running senior searches, or organisations wanting market intelligence before committing to a full mandate.

For cohorts of multiple roles or ongoing retainer arrangements, please get in touch to discuss.

Starting price: $150 per day of research / $500 per project
