Common questions
What is executive search and how is it different?
Executive search is a targeted process for senior appointments — C-suite, director and functional head level. Unlike standard recruitment, it involves proactive market mapping and confidential outreach to passive candidates. Infinium averages 8 weeks to placement for senior mandates, with 94% of shortlisted candidates reaching first interview.
Can Infinium support a confidential executive search?
Yes. Confidential mandates — where client identity, incumbent situation or strategic intent must be protected — are a core part of our executive search practice. Process is agreed at the brief stage before any outreach begins.
Does Infinium offer replacement guarantees?
Yes. Executive search and professional recruitment mandates carry replacement guarantees. Terms vary by mandate type and seniority and are set out clearly in the proposal before any search begins.
