AI drives search. Experts run judgement.
Mission-critical talent for European growth companies.
Senior IC to C-suite. Signed offer within weeks.
At Series A, B, and C, the cost of a six-month search isn't measured in fees — it's measured in the decisions that didn't get made, the team that didn't get hired, and the quarter that didn't hit. The wrong process has a real price.
Traditional executive search firms were built for a world where information was scarce. A slow intake, manual sourcing, relationship-dependent outreach, and a shortlist that arrives when the opportunity has already moved. Force was built for a different standard.
Every search runs through the same three-stage process. Tight, fast, and operator-calibrated at every step.
Force starts with a structured intake that goes well beyond a job description. We align on the stage, the real challenges ahead, the cultural signals that matter, and what 'great' actually looks like for this specific role at this specific moment. By the end of Day 1, the brief is locked.
Day 1Force's delivery engine maps the entire relevant candidate pool — typically hundreds of profiles — scores them against the brief, and surfaces the highest-signal names. The market map is in your hands within 2 hours of kick-off. Not a teaser. The full picture.
2 hoursDomain operators — people who have held the role being hired, at your stage — review the longlist and calibrate the shortlist. No generalist recruiters deciding who belongs. The shortlist of 3–5 candidates you receive has been assessed by people who know what great looks like from the inside.
Week 2–3A multi-agent AI system built in-house that handles sourcing, scoring, outreach, and pipeline management at a speed and scale that no team of researchers can match. Not a tool bolt-on. The foundation of every search.
AI-native infrastructure20+ domain operators — executives who have held the roles we're being asked to fill — bring real calibration to every search. A CTO who scaled engineering from 15 to 150. A CFO who raised from European and US investors. Their judgment, in your search.
Experts recognise expertsEvery search adds to Force's proprietary intelligence — compensation benchmarks, candidate movement patterns, and market signals across European tech. That compounding dataset makes each search sharper than the last.
