What is Executive Search?
Executive Search is the specialised process of enabling the placement of the best candidate with the right skills and culture fit for an organisation. We begin this process by understanding the role requirements for the current circumstances and future of the business, before we headhunt candidates who fit the criteria and present the client with a shortlist.
At The Human Touch (THT), our Executive Search service is spearheaded by the Project Lead, who oversees the Head Hunter, Researcher, and Project Coordinator.
The types of Executive Search roles
Our experience extends to placing Managing Directors, CEOs, CFOs, and COOs in multinational corporations in different industries, state-owned Entities (SOEs), and municipalities.
We can place for the following roles, among others:

Onboarding
This depends on the client; however, we are available to advise. Our process includes preparing a plan for the candidate’s first week/s in your organisation and arranging sessions with key stakeholders.
