Several critical hires. One embedded Executive Search Partner.
When you're hiring several leaders at once, commissioning a separate search for every role isn't the only model.
Goddard Talent brings senior Executive Search capability inside your business, with one Partner owning the portfolio, building deep context and working alongside your leadership team.
3 days. Up to 3 searches. 3 months.
A simple model for periods of concentrated leadership hiring.
Your Executive Search Partner works with you three days a week, owning up to three concurrent searches across Head, Director, VP and C-level.
After the initial three months, capacity can flex as the portfolio progresses.
3 days → 2 days → 1 day → off.
No permanent headcount. No separate search firm for every mandate. Senior search capability for as long as you need it.
Running several searches together changes the work.
Instead of repeatedly briefing different search firms, your Executive Search Partner gets underneath the business, its strategy, leadership team, culture, challenges and what each appointment needs to change.
That context compounds across every search.
This isn't an external search consultant occasionally presenting a shortlist.
Your Executive Search Partner works as part of the business, partnering directly with founders, executives and People leaders throughout the search.
From defining the mandate and mapping the market through to assessment, candidate management and close, they own the work.
The searches themselves.
All with one senior Partner accountable across the portfolio.
What gets left behind.
The work goes beyond delivering the searches in front of us.
Your Executive Search Partner can also strengthen how leadership hiring works inside the business – building the infrastructure, processes and tools that make future executive hiring more consistent, rigorous and effective.
That might include:
The goal isn't only to make the hires you need today. It's to leave behind a stronger executive hiring capability for the ones you'll need tomorrow.
Fractional Executive Search is designed for companies with a concentrated portfolio of important appointments.
Typically from Head and Director through VP and C-suite.
Three searches isn't a target to fill capacity. It's the maximum standard portfolio.
Where a mandate is particularly complex, confidential or global, we'll scope the right level of capacity around it.
Traditional search works well when you want to commission a firm for an individual mandate.
Fractional Executive Search solves a different problem: what happens when you have several critical hires and need senior search capability inside the business?
Rather than treating each appointment as a separate transaction, we give you continuity across the leadership hiring agenda, with capacity that can flex as the work changes.
Integration.
A leadership appointment can continue into Goddard Talent Leadership Integration – structured alignment between the incoming leader and their manager, combined with three sessions of Intuitive Psychology® coaching.
Because the real measure of a search isn't simply whether someone accepted the offer.
It's what happens because they joined.
Three critical hires ahead?
Let's talk about the portfolio, the complexity and whether Fractional Executive Search is the right model.
