How it works

Three steps, in your language.

01Tell us what you need

What this leader inherits, what they must change, and what the founders will say when they ask about the runway, the board and the bar.

02Meet a shortlist

A restricted, named subset of recruiters under NDA approaches the right people. Screened, referenced, with comp and notice confirmed.

03Make the hire

We run the process through a ninety-day notice period and invoice the day they join. If they don’t, there is no fee.

Why 100Networks for Leadership

Three things that change when specialists work the role.

Confidential and leadership searches

Routed to a named subset of recruiters under NDA. The role is never published; your hiring plan stays inside the group.

Someone who’s placed this role

Leaders take calls from people who know the job. Our specialists do.

Ninety days of follow-through

Leadership notice runs ninety days. The recruiter stays on the candidate every week of it.

What we cover in Leadership

The specifics, not the category.

Roles and stacks our recruiters in this domain work directly. If yours isn’t listed, it’s worth asking — the network is wider than the page.

Frequently asked questions

The role is never published. It is routed to a restricted, named subset of recruiters under NDA rather than the full network, and we will tell you exactly how many people will see the brief — ask any prospective partner for that number. Your hiring plan stays inside that group.

No. Leadership searches run on the same success fee as every other role — 8.33% of first-year salary, invoiced on the day the person joins. Retained search asks you to pay in stages regardless of outcome; this does not.

There is no fee. Leadership notice in India runs to ninety days and counter-offers at that level are aggressive, so the recruiter stays on the candidate every week of the notice period and flags counter-offer risk the moment a candidate goes quiet. If they join and it does not work out within ninety days, the search runs again free of charge.

Founding engineers, heads of function, directors and VPs across engineering, product and GTM, including first-of-function hires where there is no incumbent to benchmark against.

Make hiring the thing you’re good at.

Seed, Series A to D, or enterprise — send us one hard role. We'll match it the same day, and you'll meet a shortlist in days. Pay only when they join.
