Executive Search

Matching the most suitable talent with leading organizations

The right senior leadership is often the difference between a good company and a great one. The names of Steve Jobs, Konosuke Matsushita, Henry Ford, and Indra Nooyi spring to mind each time there is a mention of the corporations they were associated with. Their impact and legacy are lasting. Every corporation wants the best, most suitable leaders.

Getting leaders is not a one-time need and fix; existing leaders can retire or leave, needs and skill-set requirements could change, strategies could evolve, or people may grow out of their roles, triggering the search for a new leader. It is an ongoing process that seeks to anticipate the need and align with the leadership transition process.

Ushankk is the partner of choice for leading organizations to access and secure the most suitable talent for their senior leadership requirements, whether it is the CEO, a functional head, or positions on the board.

Our clients get access to a wide talent pool, including many who are not actively searching for a role, also known as “passive” candidates. We also support our clients in succession planning for senior roles. With Ushankk’s participation, both the recruiting corporation and the candidate are guaranteed utmost discretion in the transaction.

At the same time, Ushankk plays friend, philosopher and guide to senior executives being considered for a leadership role with one of their clients. Ushankk considers it its responsibility to ensure that the new hire is successful in the role he/ she has been hired for. A formal orientation and onboarding programme is designed in consultation with the client for an efficient two-way acclimatisation and laying the seeds for a long, mutually beneficial relationship.

For many organizations, the search for talent is not limited to a defined market; it is a global exercise. Executive search plays an important role in the long-term success of an organization by ensuring that organizations have access to the most suitable talent from anywhere in the world.
