Commonly Asked Questions

Hager Executive Search specializes in retained executive search for C-suite and senior leadership roles. We help growth-stage and mid-market organizations recruit CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CROs, CMOs, CHROs and other senior executives. Our Cognitive Search Methodology begins with organizational diagnosis before candidate sourcing, combining management consulting, executive search and AI-powered talent intelligence to identify leaders who fit the organization's strategy, stage and culture.

Retained executive search is a dedicated, exclusive search process designed for critical leadership positions. Hager operates exclusively on a retained basis for executive-level searches. Unlike contingency recruiting, which typically emphasizes speed and active candidates, retained search allows us to conduct original market research, map the relevant talent landscape, engage passive executives and provide rigorous assessment and strategic counsel throughout the process. The result is a focused search for the right leader rather than a selection from whoever happens to be looking.

Hager evaluates AI fluency as a leadership capability, not a technical skill. We look for executives who can identify meaningful AI applications within their function, understand its limitations, assess competitive implications and translate AI capabilities into practical changes in how teams work. Our Cognitive Search Methodology combines AI-powered talent intelligence with human assessment to evaluate whether an executive can lead effectively as human and AI capabilities increasingly intersect.

Every Hager executive search is personally led by a founding partner from diagnosis through placement. Clients work directly with Rebecca Hager or Greg Lamboy rather than being handed off to junior associates or account managers. That direct involvement means the people representing your opportunity to senior candidates understand your business, strategy, culture and leadership requirements firsthand. It also allows Hager to provide strategic counsel throughout the search, not simply deliver candidates.

Hager's average retained executive search is completed in approximately 90 days, with initial candidates typically presented within two to three weeks of engagement. Timing varies according to the complexity and seniority of the role, the specificity of the required experience, the size of the available talent pool and the amount of organizational diagnosis required before the search begins. We prioritize a thorough, targeted process rather than sacrificing candidate quality to meet an arbitrary deadline.
