Past Executive Placement: How Ksquared Search Supports New Leaders

Ksquared Search matches leading organizations with their ideal candidates. From Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) to Chief Data Officers (CDOs), our executive search specialists strive to pair you with long-term leadership solutions. However, we also stick by your side well past each executive placement — read on to discover how we approach every new search request and support our partners through leadership transitions. 

Dedication at Every Corner

Ksquared stands apart as a boutique firm with boundless experience among our search specialists. Our team has stayed small to keep our services intentional — rather than focusing on volume, we seek to foster meaningful connections with our partners. 

Throughout our partnership, Ksquared Search uncovers a deep understanding of your organizational values, priorities, and goals. With that understanding in hand, we vet candidates for the likelihood of long-term success at your organization. 

Research shows that deeper compatibility is crucial in momentum for newly-hired leaders. The McKinsey Global Survey found that nearly half of executives reported they weren’t successful at aligning others around objectives within their first 100 days on the job — making leadership transitions feel more complex than needed. 

To minimize these roadblocks, our team carefully crafts candidate slates tailored to your organization. Each individual considered for executive placement checks off every box, aligning with your company culture, professional values, future aspirations, and job specifications. 

Ksquared Search was founded on the idea that finding the perfect “fit” is paramount. We want your leaders to exceed expectations, unite your organization, and push you into new eras of growth. 

Support Past the Placement 

Whether ascending to the C-suite for the first time or transitioning from one organization to another, the weeks following a placement may be complex. After presenting our candidate slate and allowing you to select your new executive, our team assists in a seamless transition from one leader to the next. 

We act as intermediaries between candidates and organizations, helping them finalize employment discussions, sign a new contract, and resign from their current position. The timeline for transition is established quickly — our priority is getting each executive placement in working order as soon as possible. 

Beyond that, Ksquared Search aims to establish a long-term partnership with your organization. We hold onto the understanding gleaned from your first search and extend our organizational knowledge to your next position. 

Our approach has led to numerous long-term partnerships with marquee clients, including Boeing, American Express, General Electric, and Walmart. With expertise spanning everything from human resources to digital transformation, our team becomes an invaluable resource for transformational talent. 

Ksquared in Your Corner

Throughout your search process, the Ksquared team becomes ingrained in the makeup of your leadership. Finding the ideal placement takes extensive time, energy, and expertise. That’s why our team partners with our clients, making leadership transitions seamless and new eras of growth just one point of contact away.
