Recruiting for top management means composing a team — not just filling a seat.
Top management recruitment isn't just about assessing a candidate in isolation: it's about understanding how they will fit into an existing executive committee dynamic. Turgot Executive Search supports companies in building and renewing their leadership teams, paying particular attention to how profiles complement one another and to the resulting strength of governance.
We assess a candidate's complementarity with the existing executive committee, not just their individual fit for the role.
Our consultants continuously track executive moves in their sector, well before a mandate opens.
Beyond recruitment, we advise on structuring roles and responsibilities within the executive committee.
Every top management search begins with mapping existing governance, to identify the complementary strengths needed rather than a simple job profile. Augmented sourcing then widens the pool of potential executives, before in-depth qualification assesses their ability to fit into the existing team.
It adds a collective dimension: the candidate's success depends as much on their skills as on how well they mesh with the other executive committee members.
Yes, we support both one-off replacements and complete leadership team overhauls, across several coordinated mandates.
Through in-depth referencing and structured interviews exploring the candidate's collaboration and decision-making style, not just their track record.
An executive committee is not evaluated profile by profile. It is composed as a team — with complementary roles, balanced leadership dynamics, and a shared culture. Turgot Executive Search can map the existing ExCom's Belbin profile before recruiting a new member, to ensure the expected contribution genuinely complements the team in place.
We recruit all top management positions: CEO, MD, Deputy CEO, divisional directors, functional ExCom members (CFO, CHRO, CIO, CCO, COO). Our mandates cover finance, asset management, real estate, banking, and fintech. Median delivery: 7 weeks, shortlist of 5 qualified profiles.
A consultant will personally respond within 24 business hours, to understand your needs and introduce you to the specialist best suited to your sector.
