Succession, a sensitive replacement, restructuring: some mandates demand absolute confidentiality.
Some executive recruitment situations cannot tolerate any leak: a replacement ahead of an official announcement, a succession in preparation, a restructuring under negotiation. Turgot Executive Search has built a confidential recruitment method that protects information at every stage, from the first contact with a candidate through to signature.
The mandate's profiles, approached candidates and the client's identity are never disclosed beyond the strictly necessary circle.
Our consultants qualify a candidate's interest before revealing the client's name, protecting both parties.
Mission tracking is shared exclusively with designated contacts, with no intermediate distribution.
A confidential mandate begins with defining an information protocol with the client: who knows what, and when. Augmented sourcing identifies relevant candidates without multiplying internal points of contact, and every exchange with a candidate is conducted personally by the consultant in charge, with no intermediary.
Through a restricted information protocol, systematic confidentiality agreements with the parties involved, and a dedicated team kept to the strict minimum.
No: we qualify the candidate's interest and fit before any disclosure, to protect the client as much as the candidate themselves.
Yes, this is a frequent use case for confidential recruitment, particularly ahead of financial communications or a shareholders' meeting.
Some recruitments cannot be advertised: replacing an executive still in post, preparing an unannounced succession, recruiting in a restructuring or acquisition context. In these situations, any leak compromises the operation and destabilises the organisation. Discretion is not an optional service — it is the condition for executing the mandate.
Turgot Executive Search has built its reputation on the ability to run sensitive mandates without exposure. Our method: direct approach without job posting or candidate-facing documentation, client anonymisation until the presentation stage, reinforced NDAs, and secure communication channels. We have managed succession mandates for listed companies, investment funds, and family offices.
