Frequently Asked Questions
What is executive search?
Executive search is a specialized retained recruiting process for C-suite, board, and senior leadership positions. Unlike contingency recruiting, executive search firms work on an exclusive, retained basis with deep market research, proactive candidate identification, and confidential outreach to find leaders who are often not actively looking for new roles.
What industries does Sinecure’s executive search cover?
Sinecure’s executive and board search, delivered by Grace Blue, spans all major industries and functions globally. With particular depth in technology, financial services, healthcare, consumer, and media sectors, the team operates across 25+ markets worldwide to find transformational leaders.
How long does an executive search typically take?
A retained executive search typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from engagement to offer acceptance, depending on role complexity, market conditions, and candidate availability. Sinecure’s AI-enhanced research tools and global network can accelerate timelines while maintaining the thoroughness required for senior leadership hires.
