AI doesn't replace the consultant's judgment: it multiplies its reach.
AI-augmented executive search isn't about automating a human decision, but about freeing the consultant from everything that doesn't require their judgment: large-scale sourcing, initial qualification, logistical organisation. Turgot Executive Search has built its method around this conviction, with in-house tools that widen the pool without ever substituting for human assessment of a candidate.
Our agents analyse tens of thousands of profiles, including both active and passive candidates, so no relevant talent is missed.
Skills, career path, mobility, likelihood of interest: every profile is scored before it reaches the consultant's desk.
AI equips the decision, it never makes it: the consultant remains solely responsible for every recommendation.
Our method combines three building blocks: a sourcing engine that maps the market continuously, a scoring system that qualifies each profile's relevance and likely availability, and a human consultant who validates, contacts and negotiates. This division of labour handles an unprecedented volume of candidates, while preserving the requirement for human judgment at every decisive step.
No. AI handles sourcing and initial qualification; the consultant remains the sole decision-maker on assessment, negotiation and the final recommendation.
Public professional data — career history, publications, mobility — cross-referenced with our sector knowledge, in compliance with applicable regulations.
Yes: by widening the pool analysed, it increases the likelihood of identifying the most relevant profile, including candidates a manual search would have missed.
Artificial intelligence transforms executive search without replacing it. It identifies profiles beyond habitual talent pools, qualifies candidates faster, and structures evaluation more rigorously. But it cannot conduct a substantive conversation, assess a professional project, or evaluate leadership — those tasks remain human.
Turgot Executive Search has chosen to integrate AI as an amplification tool, not a substitution. Our consultants use models trained on finance and real estate sector data to map talent pools, qualify profiles, and prioritise outreach. The result: more complete shortlists, delivered in 6–8 weeks rather than the 10–14 weeks of a traditional process.
A consultant will personally respond within 24 business hours, to understand your needs and introduce you to the specialist best suited to your sector.
