Confidential executive recruiting safeguards your market position, prevents internal disruption when replacing a leader or creating a new key role, and keeps strategic hires discreet from competitors. It ensures sensitive leadership changes are managed privately, protecting your company’s stability and future plans.
Linkus Group guarantees confidentiality with a high-touch, personalized methodology. Every step, from initial discovery to discreet candidate vetting and presentation, is managed with absolute privacy. We act as a trusted extension of your team, protecting your sensitive information and market position.
Linkus Group confidentially recruits for pivotal executive leadership roles critical to startups and SMBs, including C-suite, VPs, and Directors in tech, sales, marketing, finance, and operations. We specialize in finding strategic leaders who align with your vision and drive long-term growth.
We access elite, off-market executive talent through our extensive, exclusive network built over years, including 35,000+ vetted candidates. These are high-caliber leaders not found on job boards. Our deep connections and targeted sourcing allow us to discreetly approach and vet passive candidates.
Absolutely. For growing SMBs, confidential executive recruiting is vital. Securing the right leadership discreetly protects your competitive edge, avoids unsettling small, agile teams, and ensures pivotal hires align with your unique culture and ambitious growth goals without premature market disruption.
Not using a confidential search for key executive hires risks destabilizing your current team, alerting competitors to strategic moves, and potentially impacting your market position if a high-profile search becomes public. It can also make it harder to attract top talent who value discretion.
We balance discretion and cultural fit by deeply understanding your company’s vision, values, and team dynamics during our initial “Discovery & Strategic Alignment” phase. Our high-touch, personalized approach ensures that while the search is confidential, our vetting rigorously assesses for genuine cultural alignment.
