Executive
Search
Diversity
is a
Priority
CTE is Changing the Face of Talent™. In service of that mission, we provide every client with candidates they wouldn’t have met without access to our network. Clients appreciate our consultative approach and CTE’s Executive Search Partners provide insight into client industries, regions, talent markets, and brands, all wrapped in a white-glove experience for hiring managers that makes finding the right candidate inevitable.
Search
Offerings
Whether it’s an individual search or a OneWin™ bundle, our Executive Search Partners learn not just the role, but the culture of your organization. Our in-depth client research allows us to successfully engage the best passive candidates from all backgrounds.
Retained
Search
Individual retained search engagements for talent needs at the director level and above. Searches vary across corporate functions for leaders and individual contributors.
CTE
Ambassador
CTE Ambassador is a proactive talent pipelining program that finds the talent your organization is seeking before you have the need. Candidates may know your product, but do they know your culture or what it’s like to work there? We find the best talent out there and tell them exactly what makes your organization fantastic so when there is a role, you’re engaging with someone who is already interested.
CTE
OneWin™
Is your business facing multiple hiring challenges? OneWin™ is CTE’s subscription model supporting organizations with at least 3 roles over at least 3 months. Your dedicated search team has an opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of your organization, delivering even better results while reducing your costs relative to individual search engagements.
Board
Search
CTE excels at sourcing diverse, underappreciated executives for board roles, particularly those pursuing their first for-profit board seat. It’s not just about talent. CTE works to identify candidates with additive skillsets and collaborative mindsets, ready to hit the ground running.
