Some senior hires cannot be announced yet. You may be bringing in a leader above an existing team, or replacing someone who is still in the role.
If the team hears too early, people start to worry about their place, or feel their path to promotion has closed. Motivation and performance drop before the new leader has even arrived.
An external search keeps it confidential. We approach candidates discreetly and share your name only with the people who need to know, when they need to know. Your team keeps working with confidence while you prepare the change.
