Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We had been looking for our next CEO for over a year with the help of an Executive Search firm with very limited results before we gave the mandate to Helios Talent. The results exceeded our expectations — within weeks, they presented us with a strong shortlist of highly qualified candidates that matched both our technical requirements and company culture. Their process was transparent, communication was consistent, and we felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to Helios Talent, we were able to secure an outstanding CEO who is already making a positive impact on our organization.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Within just 3 weeks, Helios Talent presented a shortlist of five highly qualified candidates, all of whom matched both our technical requirements and company culture. We were able to select our new CEO after interviewing only three finalists — a dramatic improvement after more than a year of limited results with another firm. Six months into the role, our CEO has met all onboarding objectives, received strong feedback from the board, and unlocked several key strategic initiatives that had been delayed. The efficiency, quality, and cultural alignment delivered by Helios Talent saved us significant time and allowed our leadership team to move forward with confidence.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Helios Talent’s project management was exceptional. They set clear timelines at the start of the search, kept us updated weekly, and consistently delivered candidate lists and reports on time. Their team was proactive in addressing our feedback, quick to adjust their search criteria when needed, and always available for calls or updates. We felt like a true partner throughout the process, with transparent communication and a highly organized approach.
