Traction so far
Our thesis from day one: replicate the work of a great executive recruiter at the start of a search - rigorous research, real judgment - and make it faster, more affordable, and more accessible.
Five months in, we have a 𝗱𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 using Marovi.
Clients are buying
Three solutions have resonated: we run the whole search (includes a complimentary platform seat), we handle the upfront research and prospect evaluation, or you license the platform and run with it yourself.
Results: major cuts to search fees, benefits of AI without the inherent risks, expert talent evaluation at speed, and time back for the human work.
Coming up
Started with VP and above searches. Added Director level this month. Manager level is next, because clients are asking for it.
Deeper talent evaluation through company mapping. And a way for candidates to assess their own fit to a role - through the lens of an executive recruiter - and add more context to their experience.
Our take on AI and its role in executive hiring
High-stakes executive hiring is not the place for AI hallucination and security risk.
AI tools can surface what's visible, match on keywords - but don't go deep enough on expert, talent evaluation, and still leave experienced recruiters doing the interpretive work.
Jin Ro wrote about where AI fits in the executive hiring process - and where it doesn't.
His argument: the goal shouldn't be full autonomy. It should be transparency.
