For Executive Search & Leadership Recruitment
The Value Proposition That Makes Clients Switch to You.

We don't just place your new leader — we set them up for success.
The Margin Burn for Executive Search
The hidden costs that erode your profitability with every failed placement.
1 in 3
senior placements need to be replaced within the first 18 months — costing your agency time, margin, and credibility
— CIPD & Industry Research
30–50%
of placement fees are eroded when agencies absorb the cost of replacements, extended guarantees, and re-searches
— Recruitment Industry Benchmarks
6+ months
of effort lost per failed placement — from sourcing and shortlisting through to client relationship repair

Your Differentiator
A proven solution that takes you no extra time, reduces replacements AND wins you more clients.
Offer something no other recruiter can — and make it part of your pitch.
Other recruiters get to placement and stop.
That's the problem — and it's where you stand out.
Research shows that 40–50% of new leaders fail within 18 months — not because they lack talent, but because they lack self-awareness and fail to adapt their communication to different team members quickly enough.
— Harvard Business Review / CEB Global
You reduce these failure points by up to 50% — by giving every placed leader:
12-month AI Leadership Coaching programA structured 12-month AI coaching program — built on evidence, not guesswork. Unlike generic AI, every recommendation is grounded in validated assessment data, 360° feedback, and behavioural patterns. All automated. No extra work for you.
Self-Awareness Coaching
Your candidate discovers their super-powers and blind spots — with practical tips to maximise strengths and close gaps.
Targeted Skills Development
The skill development that will have the biggest impact — identified and learning provided automatically.
In-the-Moment Guidance
Always-on AI support to adapt communication style, resolve conflict, motivate teams, and drive performance.
Remember: 40–50% of leaders fail within 18 months for exactly the reasons targeted by their AI coach.
With this in place, your placements don't just start — they stick.
Build a moat around your clients.
Here's the part nobody else has figured out: the AI leadership coaching program embeds your clients deep inside REACH Profiles. Their leaders learn to think, communicate, and develop in REACH's language. From that point on — they will only work with recruiters who use REACH and speak that language. You don't just place leaders. You become the recruiter they cannot replace.
The moat isn't the placement. The moat is what happens to the leader after.
Give your client confidence they have the right person — you'll present a strengths-based analysis report for your final 1–2 candidates, showing exactly how their strengths align to the role and team they're joining.
