01 / 08

A company closes a new round and needs a first CFO, CRO or VP Engineering.

Most executive search business comes from referrals and relationships, so the pipeline rises and falls with who you happened to speak to last month.

Partners who should be running mandates end up doing outreach between calls, and good prospects go to whoever reached them first.

Aligned Growth AI takes on that work so your time goes to conversations with companies that are hiring.

How it works

Four steps. You choose who to work for; we do the finding, the reaching out and the booking.

We agree on the sectors, company sizes, regions and seniority levels your firm wants to place, and the ones it doesn't.

We look for signs that a company will soon be hiring a senior leader, such as growth, change at the top, or open leadership roles.

We contact the CEO, chair, HR head or investor who would actually brief a search firm, with messages written around your firm's focus.

When a decision-maker agrees to talk, we set up the introductory call and give you a short brief on the company so you arrive prepared.
